Kiwi American Staffordshire Terrier & Boxer Mix Elburn, IL

Meet Kiwi!

Kiwi is a sweet and playful 7-month-old mixed-breed brindle pup, weighing in at 65 pounds. She may fill out just a little more, but she’s close to fully grown. Kiwi came to Safe Haven after overcoming Parvo, and now she’s 100% healthy and full of energy! You’d never know she had a rough start to life. She’s spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and ready to find her forever family.

Kiwi has been fostered in a home with older children and other dogs, and she fit right in. She even got to attend training at Bark Avenue Daycamp, where she blossomed in her obedience and socialization with other dogs. She loves playing with her canine friends and does great in settings where she has space to explore and unwind. Kiwi has learned to take cues from other dogs, stopping any overly-energetic behavior when the other dogs need space.

Kiwi’s training has come along nicely! To keep her mind stimulated, her trainer starts each session with a fun scent activity or agility exercise, which helps her settle into training. Kiwi loves puzzles, scent boxes, and sniffing for treats, which also stimulates her curious mind.

She is crate-trained and sleeps peacefully through the night without a peep. With her bright personality, Kiwi is sure to bring joy and laughter to her forever home. Plus, thanks to her training at Daycamp, you’ll have access to unlimited phone, email, and text support for any training questions you have throughout her life.

Kiwi is looking for a loving, active family who can continue building her training skills and give her plenty of opportunities to play and explore. Could that be you?
