Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Kong is an older dog looking for his retirement home! He is 8 years old and has lived a long life of flipping between shelters and owners and is looking for the perfect home. He loves cuddles but can be a bit hesitant of people at first. His favorite things include treats, and walks, and he'll do just about anything for a good belly rub. When it comes to giving love and affection, Kong has plenty to go around. His butt wiggles are legendary, and he'll happily wiggle his way into your heart. Kong has been at Furry Friends for over two years now and while he appreciates the people there it's nothing like the comfort of home. Please give this handsome man a chance!
