Introducing... Kiki!

About Kiki:

Kiki has clearly encountered lots of mistreatment at the hands of humans. Coming off the transport van she was absolutley terrified and fighting for her life.

She spent the first few days too terrified to leave the safety of her kennel but over time she has begun to realise that we are treating her with kindness and lots of patience. This has made the absolute world of difference to Kiki and she has started to show us a very silly, giddy side of her.

Over the past few weeks, Kiki has allowed lots of people to start stroking her, the ones she trusts the most are even able to brush her now.

For the ones she's not yet ready to allow touch, she does dance around when we do lots of silly talk to her and is brave enough to come forward and take treats from us.

This girl has so much of potential and has shown that all she needs is love, patience and someone to give her the loving home that she has never had and so desperately deserves.

With dogs:

Kiki has now been mixed with a number of dogs and usually she will stand and look over at them a lot, really wanting to go and say hello but is just far too worried of how they might react to her. This may be down to fear as she is so much smaller then all the others and it's likley she would've been picked on in the kill shelter. She has lots of trust issues with other dogs but has shown us that she is able to make friends.

She used to spend a lot of time with ex Oakwood dog Pippa - who has now been adopted - and currently spends her playtimes with either Rusty or Chocolate and Pepper.

We believe that she would be able to live with another dog based on the right match.

Low / Moderate energy

Kiki is too timid to show us her true energy levels. Once she's built up her confidence we predict she may be of low to moderate energy however we can not know this for sure

4-5 hrs

Kiki has never lived in a home before. We think she would be fine being left alone for 4-5 hours however it would be best for this to be built up so she's not too worried in her new surroundings

Requires lead training

Kiki is unable to walk on a collar and lead. She's only every experienced a grasper pole around her neck which would've been rough and caused her a lot of fear. Lead walking will come in time. Trust with the adopters will need to be built first and then when the time is right, lots of patience and postitive reinforcement will be required to help with any lead training
