KIKI HAS A BITE HISTORY

Kiki has spent her time in foster care relaxing and finding herself after years of having puppies and a lot of unknowns for us to try and figure out. Turns out Kiki is a sweetheart of a frog, healthy, happy and ready to devote her life to her chosen human.

Let us tell you a little about Kiki. Kiki is a 6 year old spayed female with some striking markings. While she is not fond of having her picture taken, you can tell how pretty she is when she lets the camera find her. She weighs about 30 lbs and has overcome the minor health issues she had upon arrival.

Kiki was surrendered because she was too “much to handle”. Her foster mom has spent a lot of time with her and finds her to be a very laid-back frog when it comes to hanging with her human. However, like many female frogs we know, she can be a bit snarky when it comes to certain things, and her new family will need to be alert to them. Kiki needs to be an only. After many years of raising puppies, she’s looking forward to time on her own. She seems to do well with male dogs who ignore her, but females, No thank you, says Kiki. She will stare and give her canine foster sister the hairy eyeball on occasion, nearly burning a hole through the baby gate. Kiki will need a home where she can be the only center of attention.

Kiki did well with her foster mom’s grandchildren, but there were some resource guarding issues and a couple of instances of growling over food. She would prefer a home without children. When children do visit, she will need to be supervised. Kiki also needs a fenced yard as she likes to run and chase the small creatures that live in the great outdoors. If she can catch them, all the better, so no cats either please!

While we are discussing the things Kiki doesn’t like, please add the vet to that list. Especially nail clipping. Kiki is not the mani/pedi sort of girl, so her new owner will need to be firm in ensuring that Kiki gets routine care and regular nail clips.

While we have told you a lot about what Kiki doesn’t like, let us tell you about what Kiki does like. Kiki loves her person. This is a frog who will show you unswerving loyalty and love. Whether you are working in the yard, or at your home office, Kiki will be there to keep you company. If you would like to participate in agility classes or obedience, Kiki is your girl. One of her favorite pastimes is to lay in your lap and get kisses, and give Frenchie hugs. She is a people dog, but her person will need to be firm in setting limits with Kiki, as she is assertive and not afraid to state what she wants. Her foster family will go over Kiki’s needs with her potential adopter.

Kiki has wonderful house manners- she is housebroken and crate trained. She will go in her crate upon command. She is learning to walk nicely on a leash and has learned to sit. She loves to destroy stuffies and play with her Nylabones. A good belly rub here and there is always welcome too! She is good in the car and enjoys car rides. While she would probably not enjoy going to the office, she is okay to stay at home and wait for her person. She does use a dog door. She would also do well in an apartment building, provided she has long walks.

Her foster mom has this to say: “Kiki is a very sweet, loving Frenchie. She can be uncomfortable until she knows people but some she loves as soon as they walk in the door. She will cover your lap if you let her and she just wants to be with her human constantly. She gets jealous of any other dog in her way, but will make room if her human tells her to. Kiki loves to be cuddled (and that includes kissing her head) and she also likes being hugged, which is very unusual for a dog. Kiki needs a very strong leader as she will try to take the lead, but is very willing to give that up to her human. I would love to see her doing an activity like Rally – I think she would shine. I absolutely adore this little girl and she deserves a great life with a wonderful family.”

Kiki is spending fall in lovely Oregon. Plan on seeing the sights there and getting to know her in person, as she will not be shipped.
