Female | 8 months old | 11 lbs | Puppy energy | Good with dogs | Not cat or kid tested | From Costa Rica | Fostered in Toronto (Midtown) | Cuddly & playful
Not so long ago, KIKI was soaking up the sun in Costa Rica. Now? She’s questioning all of her life choices as she braves the Canadian snowstorms. This sweet, snuggly pup is convinced that walks are optional in this weather and will happily let you know when she’s ready to turn back inside (which is immediately after potty time).
But don’t let her current dislike of the cold fool you—KIKI is full of love, playfulness, and all the cuddles you could ask for. She adores her humans, is super food-motivated, and is already showing off her great listening skills (for a puppy!). She’s got crate training down, is almost there with house training (a couple of oops moments, but she’s learning!), and is working on her leash manners. She gets excited to meet other dogs on walks and may try to pull toward them, but with consistency, she’ll improve.
KIKI plays well with other dogs but has some food-related boundaries that adopters should be mindful of if she’s joining a home with another pup. She and her foster sibling have had a few post-meal disagreements, so managing mealtime and the moments after—such as feeding separately and giving them a bit of space before reuniting—will help set everyone up for success.
While she hasn’t met kids yet, Kiki is a gentle, affectionate girl who would likely do well with proper introductions. KIKI’S ideal day? Playtime, snuggles, treats, and a cozy spot to nap—preferably on top of her favorite human.
If you’re looking for a loving, easygoing pup (who may need some extra motivation for winter walks), KIKI might just be the pup for you!
