ARPH #14640 - Kiwi

Kiwi is a stunning 1-year-old double merle Australian Shepherd with a sweet soul and a heart full of love. She may have a hearing impairment and some vision issues, but that doesn't slow her down one bit! Kiwi is curious, affectionate, and eager to bond with her people. She thrives on love and attention and adores cuddle time. She is crate trained but really prefers to be part of whatever is going on in the household. Whether she is lounging at your feet, snuggling next to you on the sofa watching TV, or following you around the house, Kiwi is happiest when she is near her humans. She gets along well with other dogs, can be vocal when playing a rousing game of chase or “bitey face,” and has plenty of energy for walks but also takes plenty of naps. She is a nice medium-energy girl who has never met a stranger and will wiggle her way right into your heart.

Ideal Home

Kiwi would do best in a calm, patient home that understands her needs and will continue her training journey.

Ongoing Health

Kiwi may have a hearing impairment and some vision issues. She wears a vibration collar, which will come with her to her forever home.

Training & Support

While training is a little more challenging due to her hearing impairment, she can see movement and is learning training hand signals. She uses a vibration collar to alert her to look at or come to her foster mom.
