My name is Kayce!

Kayce and his siblings found themselves unwanted and abandoned at a high kill shelter in West Texas. They are great with other dogs, and people, but cats are unknown. All dogs and puppies require supervision and training to be successful.

I am new to MN and boy is it different from TX. I don't mind the rain, the snow, I am not loving the cold, but I still go outside to do my business as needed so they call that potty trained here in MN.  My foster tells me I am a handsome boy. I have a multi-tone chocolate colored coat with white patches on my chin, toes and chest. I am tiny at about 20lbs but I am still growing. I am crate trained. I will snuggle with my blanket and stuffy in there all night long and as needed when you are gone.  I love to snuggle up in those fluffy cuddler beds in the living room here. I am the perfect mix between chill with the right amount of puppy mischief. I am good about redirecting to what I should chew on (my foster mom says her shoes are not a good decision for a chew, who knew?). I enjoy a good bone/yak chew, a stuffy to carry and nibble on,  or even nibble on your toes for a quick teeth update check, yup I have sharp teeth yet. I give the gentlest kisses but I can be shy at first when I meet you, I am getting more confident every day meeting new people. With some treats, toys and rubs I warm up even quicker. If you get on the floor I will play with you, that's my favorite. I am good with kids of all ages. I am a smart boy who quickly figured out how to use a doggie door for going potty outside or to play when the weather was nice. I do need work on my leash skills as I don't have much experience with it yet.  I love playing with the big dog at the home, we share toys and bones together and I am respectful of the older grouchier dog here as well.  I met a ferret and had no reaction to it, along with some kittens. I hear they have claws and will use them, that scares me at this time. I've not been along on the ground with them, but I think I would be fine if they are dog savvy. If you have some patience with me, I promise to be the bestest boy!
 

First priority will go to someone who lives in the twin cities metro in order to bring to a vetting appointment at the end of December.  Please put in your application on our website mattysheartandsoulanimalrescue.rescuegroups.org.
