My name is Kung Pao!

Hello future best friend!

My name is Kung Pao (yep, just like the dish—spicy, memorable, and a little bit different!). I’m searching for my forever home, and I think you might be the perfect match!

Let me tell you a little bit about my pawsome self. I was picked up as a stray in Gila County back in December, but don’t worry—I’ve bounced back and I’m ready for a new chapter. While I was at animal control, all the staff fell head-over-heels in love with me (not to brag, but I was basically the office favorite). I even went to stay with a family for a while, but I turned out to be a little too big for their tiny toddlers. Oops!

If you’re hoping for a companion who’s not bouncing off the walls 24/7, I’m your guy—I’m not one of those high-octane pups who need endless exercise. I’m perfectly content with a few fun romps and some quality playtime, then I’m all about chilling out by your side. I definitely have my playful spurts, but you won’t catch me demanding a marathon every day!

Now, I’m looking for a home with someone who appreciates my unique style and silly antics. I’m a very unusual mix—think husky (that’s where I get my dazzling blue eyes!), a splash of brittany spaniel (just look at my soft white-and-tan coat and fancy plume tail!), and maybe a bit of bully breed for my big blocky head and sturdy build. At about 1 ½ years old, I’m just the right age to bring adventure and fun to your life without any of that puppy nonsense.

Here are some of my best features:

• Super sweet personality: I’m friendly, affectionate, and love to make new pals!
• Staff favorite: Seriously, everyone at Gila County animal control gave me five-paw reviews!
• Great with other dogs: I love to romp and play with canine buddies.
• Knows basic commands: Sit, stay, and “look adorable” are all in my repertoire.
• Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped: I’m healthy and ready to roll—no surprises here!

A few mysteries about me:

• No one knows where my name came from, but I can totally learn a new one if you pick something you like better!
• I haven’t met any cats yet, so the jury’s out on that. Maybe we’ll discover together?

If you’re looking for a furry friend with a big heart, soulful eyes, and the fluffiest tail around, I just know we’ll make a great team. Want to meet me and see if we’re a match? Send an email to mike@caaronline.org and set up a playdate—we can’t wait to meet you!

Wags and wiggles,

Kung Pao
