  1. What a nice, curly hair gentleman! He’s tiny and would live nothing more to snuggle up in someone’s safe, loving arms! Consider saving this little guy! Praying and sharing with lots of love and hope. #SaveKiwi ????

  2. KIWI has a yellow behavior rating but why? He is shy and allowed most handling but because he was difficult to examine the shelter has already put him in an “iffy” categeory! This is not fair or accurate! Brooklyn ACC he is scared and little he is NOT a yellow behavior rating so get it right and change that rating please! RESCUES please help KIWI and pull him out because that shelter will railroad him right to euthanazia if they have their way! There are many victims that need rescues and fosters right now so PLEASE help as many as possible and don’t let the shelters find reasons to destroy them, especially the Brooklyn ACC!

  3. Easy to take on and out of his kennel…. so why the yellow rating??? Because he’s a little scared???? Wow.
    This is definitely one very cute boy….he will be so happy to be part of a new loving family. As for his perianal mass….it’s very common in unneutered males….they are usually benign and resolve just by neutering. And maybe he can get his teeth cleaned at the same time…..this little guy will feel so much better and have a new chance at life!!! And even if he’s not a candidate for surgery, he can still be happy with some extra care, like soft food and keeping the mass clean since its ulcerated….when there’s a will there’s a way!! Little Kiwi deserves every chance at happiness!!
