Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Name: Kai
Breed: American Bully Mix
Age: Around 4 years old
Background: Kai was surrendered by his owner who could no longer provide for him.
Personality: Kai is a muscular, beefy boy that likes to have fun. He is energetic and athletic. He loves going for walks and playing (and he is surprisingly very calm and easy to walk). He has adorable butt wiggles and will twirl in your arms when he's happy. He absolutely loves affection and will lean on you for pets and hangout with you on the couch. He can get excited when he initially sees you, but he is smart and food-motivated which makes training easier. He is already neutered, up to date on shots, and house trained. He knows "sit" and takes treats very gently. He is a big boy who sometimes can't control his excitement, so he'd likely do better in a home without small children.
Ideal Home: He would likely not make a good apartment dog, as he loves to run and play. He has not yet been dog or cat tested, so we recommend a meet and greet if you have another pet. So far he displays positive body language with the other shelter dogs and seems interested in cats, but doesn't lunge or display aggressive behavior towards them.
Final Thoughts: Kai is a handsome, big guy with a sweet face and heartfelt eyes. He would do great with someone willing to exercise him. His tail is always wagging and he would love to have a companion!
Note: Kai is heartworm positive and is completing a round of antibiotics. After this, he will take heart worm prevention each month which is something we highly recommend for all dogs, not just HW+ ones.
