Kenji is a sweet, intelligent dog who would love to be your new best friend! This charming boy likes to spend time with his people, and he loves going for walks and learning new things. Kenji has a lot of energy, and would do well with an active family who would love to have a buddy for their adventures! Kenji requires someone who will be patient with him as he adjusts to his new home and family. He needs a bit of time and space to warm up to new people, but when he does hell be your best friend.
Kenji has some fear based reactivity challenges that he is working through. He is muzzle trained and fully comfortable wearing a muzzle while out for walks and in public spaces. He is making great progress with his training and his comfort level around unfamiliar people and new experiences, but requires someone who will maintain that structure with him.
Kenji would do best in a home without children or any other pets. Kenji does prefer women over men, but with time and slow introductions he does warm up to men. Kenji needs someone who will continue his training so that he can work through his anxiety around new people. He is a very smart boy who loves learning new tricks and practicing them with his people, he would love to be your new adventure buddy!
