Story
Meet Kevin, the 1 year old, 40 lb Podengo puppy with a name as fitting as his epic energy! True to his sight hound roots, this boy’s got serious “hunt for fun” instincts—whether it’s a toy, a leaf, or the scent of adventure. He’s very smart too, mastering routines faster than you can say, “Who’s a good boy?” (Spoiler: it’s him.)
Kevin is the life of the paw-ty! He’s super friendly with people, dogs, and probably your mail carrier too. No cats, small dogs, or small children due to Kevin's prey instincts. Older kids and teens are great! Kevin would be happy to cheer on your athlete from the stands or sidelines.
As a classic Podengo, Kevin needs plenty of exercise and would love a securely fenced yard where he can zoom around safely. This breed is built for speed, much like a mini greyhound, which means off-leash play in open areas isn’t ideal—they can get going so fast it can be dangerous! He would be a great 5K (or marathon!) training buddy.
Now, about his leash skills… Let’s just say Kevin thinks the leash is for freestyle interpretive dance. Sniffing, zig-zagging, pulling—you name it, he’s doing it. But hey, with his brains, he’ll get the hang of it in no time (especially if treats are involved).
Kevin is a cultured puppy who enjoys classical music -it helps to keep him calm and quiet! Unless of course it’s meal time, or he has to pee, which is when he will excitedly vocalize.
Kevin is ready for an active home, filled with music, where he can be your adventure buddy, cuddle champion. If you’re looking for a hilarious, lovable, high-energy pup who’s ready to be your new best friend, Kevin's your guy!

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
