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.
