Kiwi loves to play and chew on her toys. Already plays fetch well with a tennis ball. Will relax with a toy or to cuddle as well.  Save money on a gym membership when you adopt the strongest little pittie this side of the Mississippi. Screw resistance bands… Kiwi’s rope-pulling abilities will have your lats in fighting shape in no time. She’ll have your heart rate climbing as she confidently runs up flights of stairs. And who needs kettlebells when this 40 pound muscle mama will occasionally go limp at the thought of using her own legs to descend said stairs? Plus, with her incredible stamina for long walks, this gal will ensure your cardio fitness. ??But don’t let the muscly exterior fool you. Kiwi has the bodily awareness of a bumbling teenager. Her strange cuddles and toothy kisses will have you recalling memories of your gangly high school lover. Kiwi has a lot of love to give and is still learning how to appropriately express it. Kisses can turn to affectionate nibbles and sometimes likes to give your hand a little chomp while playing, but she has been easily deflected to turn that mouth love to the appropriate toys instead. She’s incredibly treat driven and still quite skinny, but eager to learn and to eat! We’ve used a toy to slow down her eating as she acts like it's her first time seeing food every time. She’s taking to training rather quickly, already having accident free days and going near our door when wanting time outside to go to the bathroom. She doesn’t mind crate time either; a couple cries at first on occasion but she quickly settles down for some nap time. She’s also loving going on walks! No barking at other dogs or barking in general yet. ?We believe Kiwi would thrive in an active home with people who would love to tire Kiwi out on long walks, or a home with another dog to play with. Kiwi has done incredibly well with the two other dogs we’ve introduced her to. She’ll definitely need attention and enrichment and some training, and will reward your patience with a way-too-big-for-her-body sized head on your lap.  If you're interested in meeting Kiwi, please fill out an application at the link below. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DHDN/Dog
