Meet Kristofferson!
Hi, I’m Kristofferson — the best of both worlds in one adorable package. Inside, I’m a chill guy who loves scouting out the coziest nap spots. But the moment we head outside, my energy kicks in! Walks are my absolute favorite thing, and I come alive with excitement, ready to sniff, explore, and take in all the smells the world has to offer.
I’m a bit reserved when meeting new people, preferring to quietly observe until I know I can trust you. But once I do, get ready — I turn into a loyal, lively companion who’s up for any adventure. Movie nights? Long drives? Snuggle sessions? Count me in!
Some of my favorite things:
Walks (they truly are my happy place)
Sniffing everything
Squeaky toys
Playing fetch or tug (especially with squeaky toys)
Snuggling
Watching you eat (I take my spectator duties seriously)
Hiding under couches or beds — I even trail my leash so you can find me!
Things I’m not a fan of:
Baths (hard pass)
Cold weather — I’ll definitely need cozy sweaters in the winter
Sudden movements or people reaching toward me too quickly
He would do best in a home without other dogs or with dogs who are very calm and able to peacefully coexist.
Kristofferson is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page.
If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
