Kenny

Whoever is lucky enough to adopt Kenny will have a friend for life. This sweet and soppy boy is unfalteringly loyal and adores his favourite people. He’s seeking a calm and stable environment in which to finally settle down.

Kenny is pretty much summed up by the word “goofy”. His daily zoomies and bursts of play provide endless entertainment and, each time you return home, he’ll treat you to a very wiggly “hello” dance. He is very affectionate and would spend all day curled up with you if he could. His happy place is the sofa! If he feels he’s not getting enough attention, he’ll let you know by tapping you with his paw until you give him a scratch.

In his life, Kenny’s lived with dogs of all sizes, breeds and sexes and is very happy in their company. While he’s never lived with cats, he’s shown no prey drive while on walks. He has lived well alongside a young child while in residential training and he may gravitate towards children due to their natural vulnerability. A home with children could be considered for Kenny in the right family.

Kenny is a sensitive boy. When he was less than a year old, he gave a warning bite to someone he was fearful of. His body language had been ignored and he had not been advocated for - he would have felt as though he had no other choice. With proper management and respect, he has not bitten since. Occasionally, when very afraid, Kenny will lunge at whatever he is scared of. However, he has recently completed two weeks of rehabilitation with a trainer and has come on leaps and bounds. His adopter will need to support him in maintaining all that he’s learned.

Despite a tricky and unstable start to his life, Kenny still has tonnes of love to give to someone. He requires patience, understanding and confidence in a future adopter, as well as unconditional love. As he builds strong bonds, Kenny often struggles being left alone and would prefer a family who are around a lot. He may also benefit from a dog companion to keep him company and join him in his goofy antics.
