My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Kimmel has discovered what it's like to live in a kind, friendly home and - oh, boy! -- he loves it! In Foster care, he became a friendly, playful and cuddly boy!

He's now an outgoing boy who's gaining confidence every day. He came to foster with no leash walking skills, and figured it out quickly. Now he's prancing through the neighborhood like he owns the place and loves meeting new people he sees, including kids. They tell him he's beautiful, and he's starting to believe it.

At home, this wiggly boy loves being petted and cuddled, and he has fun playing with his stuffed toys. Kimmel loves playing with his foster siblings but gives them space when they need it. Kimmel came to foster to work on his skin. He may have a rather unique face, but it's not contagious (other than the smiles from his cuteness).

Kimmel is potty-trained, crate-trained, comfortable being home alone, and will be your friend for life! He will also have fun with dog buddies. Come meet this lovable boy. And see more about him on Instagram: @kimmelcam.
