Description
Dog Breed: American Eskimo Dog. Please contact Gary (glkelleysrgmail) for more information about this pet. Meet sweet little Kiwi. Kiwi is a wonderful little eskie boy who had a very rough start. He was removed from his home by animal control when they saw the neglect for his care and the living conditions. He had a dental at the shelter and lost 24 teeth (he has 14 teeth left). Kiwi has been in our care since October 18th and is flourishing with love and proper nutrition, daily walks and play time. He has been completely vetted and he is in good health, considering, with only one elevated liver enzyme (ALT). Kiwi is taking daily denamarin, a liver supplement, and his liver values will be rechecked. Kiwi will need to be given time to warm up to strangers, and we do not recommend young children in his new home. He has a lot of love to give and will make a wonderful additon to a caring family. Update, Kiwi is good with adults but I don't reccomend him for very small children, he reacts to fast movement. I do believe that given time he would do well, with anyone. Once he knows you he is all love. For more information please contact Gary Garyeskierescuers Whenever possible Eskie Rescuers United tries to adopt out its dogs locally (or at least to adopters in adjoining states to where I'm being fostered). Please note that ERU processes LOCAL adoption applications before considering those from out of state. If I'm not local to you, as explained above, and you really have your heart set on me, you will have to make special arrangements so ERU can get me to you safely (for example, flying me to you at your own expense, or paying a transport group to drive me to you). Note: We may ask that you to make a donation to cover transport costs if the distance is great and we have trouble finding transport drivers. There is an adoption fee required; and, please be aware, Eskie Rescuers United will not adopt out its dogs as outdoor dogs. Eskie Rescuers United American Eskimo Dog Rescue, Inc. is an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Overview:
The American Eskimo Dog, often affectionately called an "Eskie," is a charming and intelligent spitz-type breed originating from Germany, despite its misleading name. These beautiful dogs come in three sizes—toy, miniature, and standard—all boasting a striking white double coat, erect ears, and a plumed tail curled over their back. Known for their alert and friendly disposition, Eskies are highly trainable and excel in activities like agility and obedience, reflecting their history as circus performers. Their energetic and playful nature makes them wonderful family companions, though early socialization and consistent training are crucial. While adaptable to apartment living if given sufficient exercise, they thrive with a yard and an active lifestyle. Owners should be mindful of potential health issues such as hip and elbow dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, and luxating patellas. With proper care and attention, American Eskimo Dogs are loyal, loving pets that bring joy to their families.
