Story
Kristoff is a playful and affectionate puppy who is ready to find a family to call his own! He loves having fun, exploring, and enjoying all the adventures that come with being a puppy. After playtime, Kristoff is just as happy to settle in for some snuggles and spend quality time with his favorite people. Kristoff may be a great fit for a family with children ages 7 and up who are ready for the excitement and responsibility of raising a puppy. His history with cats is unknown, so any introductions to feline friends should be done slowly and thoughtfully. Since Kristoff is still a puppy, he will need plenty of time, patience, and guidance as he learns important skills such as potty training, basic commands, manners, and more. His future family should be prepared to help him navigate all the important stages of puppyhood. Kristoff is eager to learn, grow, and become the best companion he can be with consistent training, love, and positive reinforcement. If you think Kristoff might be the perfect addition to your family, fill out an application today!
