Kiki is now with Lisa and Kris (not pictured)

HI WESTIE LOVERS....... My name is 'KiKi'. I am a 4 year old, spayed, female, AKC registered Westie. I am a very happy little girl, likes playing with toys and just love my new foster Mom's huge toy basket. I will dig through the big basket to get just the right one for the moment. Run through the house squeaking it. I will place it at your feet so you can enjoy playing with it too. My original owner relinquished me because her living and personal situation has changed greatly since she bought me from a breeder in Colorado at 13 weeks of age. We used to live in Colorado, then in Las Vegas and now in the 'Valley' of San Fernando Valley. Hey, does that make me a 'Valley Girl'? Oh, My Gaaaud!

My Mom and myself now share a home with my Mom's parents, their Westies and other dogs. My Mom works during the day, so since I really, really don't get along with the existing Westies here in the house, am placed in the bathroom daily until my Mom gets home from work. We Westies, have had some pretty ugly fights in the short time I have lived here. I just won't back down if challenged. So, I have to be kept by myself in the bathroom or in my crate while my Mom works. And, I also can't be put in an exercise pen, because I know how to climb over. Actually, I am quite proud of my 'Houdini Move', but I seem to be the only one. My Mom says this isn't a good workable situation and it isn't fair to me, because she knows what a good dog I was when we used to live in Colorado. I was her best buddy, a real princess, pillow stealer and the light of her life. But sometimes things change......

I am current with my shots (DHLPP, Corona, Rabies), have been spay, I came into rescue with both of my ears infected and some minor skin hot spots. My foster Mom took me to the Vet right away, so I am on medication to clear up the ear infections and am being changed over to the Westie Diet. I have been to obedience training. I know the commands; set, come, heel, down, stay and my original Mom says I usually respond 90% of the time. Hey, that's pretty good for a terrier! I moved in with my own toys and crate to my foster Mom's, so really I can move in with you just about any old time. I am housetrained and will let you know when I need to go outside, but if you have a doggie door I know how to use it too. Here at my foster Mom's, I don't have any problems with THESE Westies (two; male and female). So, my foster Mom says I could possibly be placed with other doggies, but only after a brief adoption meeting introduction to see how I do. I haven't had any problems with socialization or interaction with my foster Mom's Westies. And, one very important thing...I can't have a cat......definitely NOT...says my foster Mom. Shoot and I so liked that 'chase and try to kill the cat game'!!! In my foster Mom's home we take several daily walks, I kinda was out of shape, but I like the exercise regime now and I like all the people who greet me. My foster Mom says I walk on a leash really, really well. I get to go for rides in the car and I like looking out the window. And, I can actually sleep in a crate, but if I have a chance I will hop up on my foster Mom's bed and sleep with her, my foster dad and their two Westies. It's a good thing they have a king size bed huh? Tee-hee. I like the tummy rubs and extra attention and I like it when you talk to me.

The ideal adoptive family would be; a family without small children (under the age of 9 yrs old), I am okay left loose in the house if you go to work, my adoptive family must promise to maintain my Westie Diet daily, groom me regularly because I have very thick fur and give me lots of love and exercise. I really would like to come to live with you. How about it? Could I? Huh?
