A Note from the Foster: Kelce is adorable, he is a beautiful golden red color, and super friendly! He fit right in at his foster home with an older large dog and a bossy little dog. He has a lot of bursts of playful energy and curiosityfollowed quickly by nap time. His favorite place is a dog bed next to my desk while I work from home. He has been good about going into his crate when I leave the house and has kept his crate clean and dry.
He hasn’t been here a full week but he loves meeting new people and everybody loves Kelce.
He took to walking on a leash right away with a lot of stops to sniff and explore. He loves playing tag in the yard and is learning to come when called. He is very playful. He chases a ball but hasn’t gotten the hang of retrieving it yet. He’s found two toys he likes to chew but he doesn’t chew a lot. I have found a few teeth so maybe he is getting past that stage.
Kelce is practicing potty training with regular outdoor time but it is a work in progress. Some of hisfavorite things are snuggling for naps, belly rubs and eating! He sleeps through the night. Did I say he likes to snuggle? He can get away with being a little naughty because he is the best snuggler.
Kelce has a big personality and wants to please. With training, he will be amazing!
Adoption Fee: $750 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
