Kevin’s journey began in Tennessee, where this fun-loving boy was picked up as a stray. Sadly, no one came to claim him, but that just means he’s now ready to find the family he was always meant to have!
Since arriving in foster care, Kevin has been thriving. He adores playing with his doggy friends, bouncing around with joy, and soaking up all the love he can get. This energetic pup would be happiest with an active family and a fenced yard where he can run, romp, and play to his heart’s content.
Kevin’s Favorite Activities
- Going on hikes and exploring the outdoors
- Strolling through town on a walk
- Romping around at kids’ sporting events (he’s the best cheerleader!)
- Entertaining you with his squeaky toy tricks—he’ll toss them in the air and catch them like a pro!
Kevin’s Softer Side
When playtime winds down, Kevin transforms into the ultimate cuddle buddy. He’ll happily curl up in your lap if you let him, and he loves snuggling with his foster siblings too. His silly, affectionate nature guarantees daily laughs and endless smiles.
Smart & Ready to Learn
Kevin is food-motivated and eager to please, making him a great candidate for dog training. He’s ready to learn new commands and show off just how clever he is.
Why Kevin?
- Fun, goofy, and full of personality
- Loves both adventure and snuggle time
- Greets you with a wiggle butt and a big smile every single day
Kevin is truly one of a kind—a hoot, a sweetheart, and a loyal companion who will brighten your life. Don’t miss the chance to make him part of your family forever. Apply today, because Kevin is totally worth it!

More about this rescue
Fetching Hearts Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3), volunteer run rescue that is dedicated to saving dogs who have been abused, neglected or abandoned and finding loving, caring homes for them.
We rely on a network of foster families so that each dog that we pull into the safety of our rescue is placed in a foster home and is no longer confined to a life in a kennel.
We are committed to helping dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes by partnering with shelters and animal control services right here in Connecticut as well as with several high kill shelters in the South.
We do a full assessment of each dog's temperament and health to ensure that we are able to find the most suitable home for them. Every dog is fully vetted - meaning they are up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and micro chipped - before being adopted.
The ASPCA estimates that approximately 3.3 million dogs in the United States enter shelters each year, of which approximately 670,000 are euthanized*. Our goal is to advocate for and provide education about the need for spaying and neutering to eliminate what has become an epidemic of unwanted dogs.*
