Hi everyone, my name is Kiwi and I am a 6 year old Australian Kelpie x Border Collie. I began life on a farm but never much liked the thought of working sheep. I think the other dogs there didn’t like me as they used to bully me so I spent a lot of time locked in a cage for my own safety. I was sold on to another farmer where I was bullied by dogs again until one day a lovely couple came and took me home with them. I loved them very much and they loved me, I spent the next few years of my life as a pampered and happy pet dog, that is until we moved house and their baby was born. I really didn’t like the new house as it was in a city and there were too many loud noises. I got even more upset when the baby cried, I know she can’t help it but it effects my tummy you see as I have Colitis and when I get upset or frightened things happen in my tummy that I can’t control. My Mummy and Daddy had to make the heart breaking decision to find me a new home so I could be happy again, I didn’t like seeing them so upset but I was very brave. I moved into a kennel under the care of Kelpie Welfare and feel more at ease having my own space. I get to go out every day with the other dogs and sometimes I get treated to a trip to the beach or the woods. Please follow my story to learn more about me, one day soon I hope to have my own home again but it will have to be with someone who understands that my tummy doesn’t always behave itself and where it is fairly quiet and relaxed.
