Story
Kelpie is the kind of dog who makes every day feel a little brighter. Energetic, affectionate, and full of personality, this sweet boy approaches life with endless enthusiasm. He loves people, adores other dogs, and believes every new experience is an adventure waiting to happen. Whether he is chasing ants in the yard, wrestling with his canine friends, or proudly looking out the car window, Kelpie throws his whole heart into everything he does.Kelpie is completely house trained and is making great progress with both his kennel training and leash manners. He sleeps well in his kennel overnight and continues building confidence when left alone during the day. He does well with other dogs and children and would likely do well with cats when proper introductions and boundaries are in place. Kelpie is incredibly food motivated and learns quickly, though his stubborn side occasionally appears when he decides he has more exciting things to do than finish a training session.This lovable goofball has a huge heart and absolutely loves affection. He hands out kisses freely and is still learning that his growing size means not everyone appreciates enthusiastic puppy love quite as much as he does. He enjoys frozen Kongs, lick mats, walks, and anything that involves spending time with his people. While he can be excitable and is still working on impulse control, he is a very smart boy who is eager to learn and continues to make wonderful progress.Kelpie is looking for a family that will embrace his larger than life personality and continue helping him grow into the amazing dog he is becoming. In return, you'll get a loyal best friend, a professional cuddle seeker, and a dog who truly loves life, and everyone in it. Apply today and let Kelpie bounce his way into your heart.PLEASE NOTE: To meet our adoptable dogs, please fill out an adoption application.
