My story

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

Meet Kaleo a fun-loving, energetic boy who knows how to make every day a little brighter! Kaleo is a little shy at first but once he gets to know you his fun side will show! He’s a big fan of his toys and treats, and you’ll often find him happily entertaining himself or showing off his playful side with his favorite goodies. Kaleo has a joyful spirit and a silly personality that makes him a delight to be around.

He would do best in a home with older children who can understand and respect his needs. Kaleo thrives with a family who is mindful of his body language and gives him the space and understanding he deserves. When his boundaries are respected, Kaleo builds strong, trusting bonds and shows just how loving and loyal he can be.

If you’re looking for a playful, treat-loving companion who just needs a thoughtful, understanding family to help him shine, Kaleo could be your perfect match.

If you are interested in adopting Kaleo, please visit the shelter during adoption hours.
