Story
Hello. My stepdad passed away recently, and I've been taking care of Kenji since then. I was able to balance my college coursework while training/taking care of her. Now that I have to work full-time, I won't be able to provide the attention and effort she needs. Kenji is around 5 years old; her birthday is in December 2021. I was able to get her potty- and crate-trained, also taught her a few commands (sit, paw, release word: 'go', and bed). Her current schedule is eating twice a day, and I walk her 3x daily. She loves eating, lounging, affection/cuddles, and playing (fetch or tug of war). Her reactivity towards cats and barking can be alleviated with patience, effort, and lots of treats! She's an amazing indoor and outdoor pet due to her excitability and laziness. Kenji may take a while to acclimate to a new environment because I noticed how easily anxious she gets with unfamiliar people, but after a couple of minutes, she tends to go up to them and ask for cuddles.

This adorable Pekingese/Spaniel mix has a gentle heart, a cheerful spirit, and a deep appreciation for being close to his people. If you’re looking for a loyal little sidekick who wants to be part of your daily routine, Room Service is ready to check in and stay awhile.   From the moment he arrived in his foster home, it was clear that Room Service is all about connection. His loving nature shined through right away. With reassurance and consistency, he has blossomed into a happy, affectionate companion who greets his people with enthusiastic tail wags, soft kisses, and an open invitation for belly rubs. He’s truly a cuddle connoisseur and happiest when he can be near his favorite humans, quietly keeping them company as they move through the day.   A Day in the Life of Room Service Room Service starts his mornings bright and early around 6:30 a.m., when he eagerly enjoys breakfast before heading out for a 30-minute walk to kick off the day. He gets another walk around lunchtime to stay active and engaged, and after work, he loves either a longer stroll or a visit to the park where he can socialize and explore. Dinner is served around 6:30 p.m., followed by a short evening training session to practice basic commands (and earn those well-deserved treats!). At night, he settles comfortably into his crate and sleeps peacefully until morning. During the day, he has free roam of the house and often chooses to stay close to his canine buddy, happily following along wherever the action is.   Personality & Companionship Room Service is a classic “velcro dog” in the very best way — affectionate, devoted, and always ready to be by your side. He has a playful, energetic side and enjoys daily walks and romps with other dogs, but he also knows how to relax and unwind once the day winds down. He’s incredibly patient, especially when treats are involved, and his gentle, loving demeanor makes him a joy to have around. He isn’t particularly interested in toys or fancy beds — his favorite place is simply wherever you are.   Dog-Friendly and Social Room Service currently lives with a 22-pound doodle named Ollie, and the two are wonderful companions. They love to wrestle, chase each other during zoomie sessions, and share quiet downtime together. He clearly enjoys the company of other dogs and benefits from having a canine friend to play with and help him feel secure. When out on walks, he may pull toward other dogs or bark with excitement — he’s eager to say hello and still learning his polite leash manners.   Training & Home Skills Room Service is crate trained and sleeps soundly overnight. He does best when crated during absences, where he feels safe and secure. He’s a smart young dog who responds well to structure and positive reinforcement.     Why Room Service Is So Special What sets Room Service apart is his sweet simplicity. He doesn’t ask for much — no fancy toys, no elaborate routines — just the chance to share life with his person. He’s the kind of dog who quietly fills a room with warmth, whether he’s trotting beside you on a walk or perched on a windowsill watching the world go by. His gentle nature, affectionate heart, and eagerness to belong make him a truly special companion.   Favorite Little Quirk Sometimes he’s so calm and content that you might forget he’s there — until you spot him sitting peacefully on a windowsill, gazing outside like a tiny philosopher taking in the day. It’s impossible not to smile when you find him there.   NCApril 23, 2026, 1:31 am
