Story
Name: Ken
Nicknames: Kenny. Kenneth.
Sex: Male
Breed: Bulldog mix
Age: 3-4 Years
Weight:~46 lbs
Before OMD: Found as a stray in the city park (he was more than thrilled to hop in the car with the officer who picked him up) and brought to the shelter, who then contacted us for help. Ken was emaciated, and had two large, deep wounds on his back end.
Medical: Ken was initially hospitalized, and then shortly after, had a scrotal ablation and debridement and closure of his wounds. He has healed and gained weight beautifully with frequent small, nutritious meals.
Key Descriptors: Exuberant. Silly. Aggressively loving. Goofy. Sweet.
Catchphrases: Sublime! I am Kenough.
Energy level: Medium – likes to play, would enjoy a long hike, but is also happy to bum it around the house in his sweats.
What we love: His total exuberance for life. Toys? Loves them. People? Adores them. Treats? Best thing ever invented.
What makes us laugh: Watching him look out at the world from a window for hours contemplating the meaning of life. His aggressive snorts when he is sniffing around. The way he rubs his back on the underside of furniture to scratch an itch.
Affection rating: 10/10 – He would like to be part of you if that was an option.
Bad boy behavior: He has a proclivity to eat non-food items when trapsing around outside, i.e. pinecones, acorns, road trash.
What he knows: Sit. Just sit…
What he’s working on: Keeping four on the floor. Less mouthing when playing. Better leash manner (he's loud and overstimulated on leash when he sees things he's excited about). Sleeping in past 5am.
Dogs: Please! He’s still learning how to dog and would benefit from another confident canine in thehouse – his size or larger, please, as small dogs are way too exciting.
Cats: We think this would not go well...
Kids: Older ones please. He’ll bowl small ones over without a second thought and then steal their snacks right out of their sticky little fingers.
House-trained: Working really hard – does best when kept on a frequent schedule.
Crate-trained: Yes, does great in his crate after some initial barking in protest of you leaving him.
Ken is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. He is available for adoption to residents of CT and surrounding states. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an application from omdrescue.org.
