My personality

My story

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! He has adorable butt wiggles and will twirl in your arms when he's happy. He absolutely loves affection and will play bow for you and snuggle with you. He does get overexcited sometimes, leading to jumpiness and mouthiness, but he is smart and food-motivated which makes training easier. This behavior has also diminished a great deal after his neuter, so he may continue to improve his jumping impulses. 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: Kai would benefit from some structure.. He already has such a great base - all he needs is some additional training. 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.

Final Thoughts: Kai is a handsome, big guy with a sweet face and heartfelt eyes. He would do great with someone willing to train him a bit more and 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.
