Kiki - Wirehaired Terrier Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Meet Kiki!..........located in Houston, TEXAS

weight 31lbs
estimated breed: Wirehaired Terrier mix
estimated birth: Nov.2025

Kiki has never met a dog she didn’t like. She’s a happy, playful, slightly mischievous girl who loves people, loves other dogs, and is always ready to be part of whatever you’re doing.

But Kiki’s story didn’t start out this way.
She was living in a garbage dump, surviving on her own and afraid enough of people that we had to trap her to get her to safety. And let me tell you—Kiki did not want to be trapped.

What a difference love and safety can make.
The little dog who once wanted nothing to do with being caught now doesn’t want to leave our side. She wants to be with her people, hang out with her dog friends, and when bedtime comes, Kiki will happily claim her spot on the bed like she’s been doing it her whole life.

Kiki is kennel trained, good on a leash, dog friendly, and just an all-around happy girl. She’s got that perfect little mischievous streak that keeps you laughing, but underneath it is an incredibly loving dog who figured out that people can be pretty wonderful after all.
From sleeping in a garbage dump to claiming her spot on the bed.
Kiki is ready for a family of her own.

Kiki is:
- Fully vaccinated, microchipped, & spayed
- Kennel & potty trained
- Dog friendly
- located in Houston, TX (transport available out of state!) ***PLEASE NOTE: pickup locations of transported dogs may vary, including to nearby states.***

*We coordinate with multiple transport services that operate weekly to Eastern states and bi-weekly or monthly to Western states from Texas to your state or a neighboring state. These are ground transports using third party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. Each adopter has the ability to track the van using the app Life360, and receives updates from transport along the way. Facebook chats are another resource to stay informed on tracking dogs on transport. Please be able to use one of these available services if you wish to follow your adopted dog on transport.

*Our adoption fees are based on the vetting we put into each dog. Fees for puppies (under 12 months) are higher because they require more vetting than dogs over 1 year.

*Listed breed and age are based on a best guess estimation by rescue and veterinary staff; DNA tests are not included in adoption.

*Our adopters are eligible to receive 50% off training with Curbed Behaviors Dog Training for programs booked within 30 days of adoption, and 25% off programs booked within 60-90 days of adoption.

*All of our adopters are invited to join our “Alum Pupdates” Facebook group, to share their story and their adorable pup with fellow Sunnyside Street Dogs adopters!

The Wirehaired Terrier is a charming and energetic dog breed known for its shaggy coat and lively personality. Originating from terriers bred for hunting small game, they are intelligent, spirited, and make loyal companions. Their wiry coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting, and they thrive on ample exercise and mental stimulation. With proper training and socialization, Wirehaired Terriers can be excellent family pets, excelling in activities such as agility and obedience.
