Homing Requirements: Kiwi needs a stable home life where her needs are foremost. She needs a 6' panel fenced garden and exit management regime as she must be allow to get out, retention on an extender as she has prey drive. Kiwi experienced dog owners with lead management esp. around streets. Kiwi could live with another dog. Not for cats or small furries. Older children or supervised visiting young children.
Her Story: Kiwi was owned by a man who was casual with Kiwi, She got into chasing cats and sadly caught one. She came into police care and gave birth to a litter but no pups survived. The owner became homeless and couldn’t take her back. Now spayed vax'd and chipped. Kennelled near Gatwick with weekend foster periods.
Advert: Kiwi is fun and caring. She loves to snuggle and makes a loyal loving pet. Just 2 years young and still has a lot of puppy in her and is ready for fun. Kiwi needs to be trained to an extender lead. She would suit a family who have dog experience and will take Kiwi to training classes to offer her the basics whilst refreshing their own skills.
Kiwi is a wonderful slate grey colour with badger markings and pretty white socks. Kiwi is young and intelligent. She hasn't lived with children but she is gentle. Kiwi has always been loved and loads of people have come forwards to help her now she just needs that fortunate family to embrace her needs and enjoy a superb dog.

See Kiwi's thread below: Watch her progress through our RescueReferral Details: 14.10.11 Hi Lynne,
Here are the pictures of Kiwi poor girl,so glad you can help.
We are more than happy to keep her safe until a space becomes available for her. Kiwi is 16months old and last week gave birth,all of the puppies died in police care. Kiwi has been in police care for approx 5 weeks for killing a cat on the estate where she lived. The owner is now homeless and voluntary surrendered Kiwi over to us as he did not want the dog passed from pillar to post.
I did have Kiwi checked by a vet today she does have mastitus and they have put her on Galastop to dry her milk up also Clavucill (antibiotics)
I have wormed and strongholded her also. I will speak to you soon Laura Dog Wardenxx _________________ You can't train the terrier out of a terrier..they are their own persons!
Kiwi has been on our waiting list for a month. She came into Hazlemere Vets yesterday, who kindly spayed her for us. She bled a lot so we transfered her care to Gatwick (N) so she can be observed and make a good recovery. She travelled with a body bandage. Wary and concerned but her gentle vibe shone through and she enjoyed 20 mins in the paddock before bedding down for the night. Welcome 'home' Kiwi.
Kiwi couldn't believe her luck when I lost my balance taking photos and found myself being snuggled and covered in kisses with her sheer delight. She was so loving it really made me chuckle, so I'm very relieved Sharon and Charlie weren't about with their cameras.
Kiwi came for a wonderful walk today She was bouncy onoccassions when you saw her just so happy to be in the midst of nature. Other times she was strolling along. She changed kennels to Gatwick (S) and has her social diary open and currently looking expectant but empty!

Oh my word this girl is drop dead gorgeous and what a lovely crossbreed - what I would say is a well mixed cross. Some dogs just do not take a bad photo and she is one of them. Would love to see what a professional could do with her. Very regal and beautiful. You have to look at her, turn away and then go back for another good look to appreciate just how lovely she is ...
So sorry folks, but my visit to kennels is never complete without a cuddle fix and how could I resist Kiwi. We traded cos she loves tummy tickles.
She is in good condition, but her coat is scurfy - nothing some TLC and good food won't fix. A foster home would be the icing on the cake this Christmas too. _________________ SHARONR - ADMIN

Kiwi is such a beautiful girl, intelligent and spirited and looks amazing. I have had the pleasure of walking her three times this week and am looking forward to seeing her again tomorrow. She enjoyed being dried with a towel after her walk today and having her coat put on to keep her warm and snug in her kennel. I do hope that Kiwi finds her foster or forever home soon she is simply a stunning girl and will make someone really proud. _________________ Four Positive Paws

Had a wonderful christmas eve walk with Kiwi today. She really is an amazing young girl. Walked nicely on the lead, settled and sniffing and exploring her environment, gave her a hug and cuddle on return and fingers crossed she will find someone for her soon. _________________ Four Positive Paws

Kiwi was her usual enthusiastic self today. Had a lovely walk with her nicely by my side or just in front but not pulling. We met the man with a Jack Russell and Collie over in the sheep field. We stopped while I said hello and Kiwi just stood quietly with her tail wagging. She walked nicely past the dogs in the garden and enjoyed a little look at the horses in the field. I do hope she finds a place soon. _________________ Four Positive Paws

Kiwi was much calmer than last time we walked in both her kennel and on our walk, when we returned she went and sat in her bed peeping out at me with a look that said 'if you were thinking of taking me out in that weather again I'd sooner not go!'. She did happily trot back into the run for a rub down though
Kiwi out on Saturday afternoon, she has settled beautifully with us and needs some fun in her life - lots of walks and lots of people to play with, she is adorable and a slate gray colour, just lovely.
