Story
Meet Kylo – The Gentle Sidekick Kylo is the kind of puppy who wants to be part of the fun but may look to someone else to show him the way first. This sweet, playful boy has a gentle heart, a curious spirit, and a personality that continues to blossom more every day. While he may be a little unsure in new situations initially, it doesn't take him long to settle in and reveal the affectionate, happy puppy hiding underneath. His foster describes him as a follower rather than a leader, and that's one of the things that makes him so endearing. Kylo gains confidence from the people and dogs around him and thrives when he has someone he trusts to guide him. Kylo Loves: -Playing with other dogs -Playing with toys -Tug toys -Exploring new smells -Chewing bones -Meeting new people -Zoomies -Learning new things -Spending time with his family Kylo's Favorite Thing Having a buddy by his side. Whether it's a person or another dog, Kylo feels most comfortable when he has someone he trusts nearby. A Puppy Finding His Confidence: Kylo may be a little nervous at first, but he warms up quickly and wants attention from everyone once he feels comfortable. His foster reports that it only took a couple of days for him to come out of his shell and start showing his playful, confident side. Other dogs seem to help boost his confidence, and he enjoys their company. While he doesn't necessarily need another dog in his future home, he would likely enjoy having a friendly canine role model around. Kylo is doing well with a structured routine and crate training and continues to learn and grow every day. A Few Things to Know: -Doing well with a routine and schedule -Doing well with crate training -Loves other dogs -No major behavioral concerns noted -May be nervous initially in new situations -Gains confidence quickly -Food motivated and eager to learn Great Activities for Kylo: -Puppy playdates -Exploring new places -Tug-of-war -Training sessions -Family adventures -Backyard playtime -One-on-one bonding time Best Match: -Active individuals and families -Family-friendly homes -Homes with confident resident dogs -People looking for a loyal companion -Families willing to continue building his confidence Three Words That Describe Kylo Best: ❤️ Gentle ❤️ Loving ❤️ Playful Foster Location: La Crosse, WI The foster is willing to meet approved adopters within approximately 30–45 minutes of La Crosse, pending schedule availability. Kylo's early history is somewhat unclear, but it appears he entered rescue as a young puppy and spent time in foster care before making his way to Wisconsin. Since then, he has continued to grow into a sweet, social, and loving companion. If you're looking for a puppy who will bond closely with his family, make you laugh with his playful antics, and reward your patience with unwavering loyalty, Kylo may be the perfect addition to your home.

A Gentle and Easygoing Puppy Kira is still a puppy, but she's already showing signs of being on the lower-energy side. While she enjoys playing and exploring, she also appreciates quiet downtime and relaxing with her family. She does best in calmer environments and can become overstimulated in busy settings.

Her mother arrived at a shelter in Oklahoma heavily pregnant and required an emergency C-section. Out of twelve puppies, only seven survived. Kira is one of those little fighters, and she has grown into a loving, affectionate puppy with a bright future ahead of her.
