My story

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

Kevin may only be two years old, but he’s mastered the fine art of being a very good boy. This 35-ish pound Podengo mix has it all: the zoomies, the charm, and the kind of manners that make strangers ask, “Wait… I could adopt THIS dog?!”

✨ A (non exhaustive list of) Why Kevin is Amazing:
• Polite Everywhere: Kevin was the recent hotdog star of the Petsmart Halloween Parade! From busy dog events to quiet neighborhood strolls, Kevin keeps it classy.

• Dog Socialite: He LOVES other dogs of all sizes and has been a total gentleman with every pup he’s met.

• People Person: He’s been amazing with every human too (kids are still newer to him, and his energy at playtime means potential for rough and tumble).

• Crate + House-trained: That’s right, he’s got the basics down pat.

🚶 Leash Life:
On walks, Kevin isn’t in a rush. He’s all about the sniffari lifestyle, taking time to enjoy every smell like it’s a fine wine. He’s gotten so much better on leash—he’ll trot along happily by your side, pausing only to say, “Hang on, that bush smells fascinating.”

⚡ Play Hard, Nap Hard:
Give him a fenced yard and he’ll zoom like an Olympic sprinter. Take him for a hike or a jog and he’ll keep up like a pro. But when it’s time to chill? Put on some classical music and Kevin will transform into a napping gentleman of the highest order.

🧠Head and heart:
Kevin is smart! He has a very good memory for when he last saw things. Once he went outside and found some bread his foster parents threw into the yard for the birds, now he has to investigate that spot every night in case he gets lucky again! 🌭 Additionally, Kevin is an absolute 😇 at the vet and doesn’t give anybody any trouble. Plus he loves getting a nice bath and getting his nails trimmed.

🐾 The Fine Print:
Kevin’s prey drive means he may chase cats - but he is not aggressive! With an active adult household, a family of elementary kids, or teens he’ll fit right in. We caution that toddlers might get knocked over because of his energetic play style.

💖 Bottom Line:
Kevin is friendly, sweet, funny, and ready for his forever home. He deserves a family who loves adventure, laughter, and snuggles as much as he does.

So, if you’ve been waiting for the perfect mix of polite companion and goofy best friend… Kevin’s your guy.

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
