Kriss Kross

My story

Kriss Kross has a remarkable rescue story. When he was discovered as a stray, he was in dire need of care—bearing a thin scar around his neck & back left leg from being tied up. Additionally, his eyes are slightly crossed, possibly due to past trauma. He is able to see but may not have the acuity of other dogs. His back leg being tied caused it to grow incorrectly, giving him a distinctive, endearing hop when he walks. Kriss Kross was rescued not out of pity, but because of his sweet and happy disposition. Despite everything he has endured, he has a kind heart, and it was clear to his rescuers that he deserved a chance at a good life. Kriss Kross has been thriving in a safe and nurturing environment—something he has never experienced before. Although Kriss Kross is incredibly affectionate, he is initially shy and slow to warm up to new people. However, once he trusts you, he will be your most loyal and devoted companion. His greatest joy is being close to his people, soaking up pets and cuddles. While he is friendly and polite with other dogs, he always prefers human companionship. Due to his sight deficits, he is less suited for busy public places or new environments. Instead, he would thrive in a stable home with a safe outdoor space, such as a fenced yard, where he can explore at his own pace. Kriss Kross needs a special home where he can continue receiving the love and care he deserves. If you’re looking for a gentle, resilient dog who just needs a little extra patience to show his full heart, Kriss Kross could be the perfect match for you.
