Khakee

My story

Meet Khakee! 9-year-old Khakee spent most of his life in the backyard, never invited inside to be part of the family and never given the care he deserved. He was never taken to the vet for medical attention, and his life was a far cry from the love and comfort every pet deserves. But on February 13th, when Khakee became a Frosted Face, we promised to change all that. We vowed to give him the life he’s always missed out on – a life filled with love, warmth, and the comfort of a real home. Could that home be yours? Thankfully, over the past two months, Khakee has been in a wonderful foster home where he’s discovering what it’s like to be a cherished family member. Khakee also had surgery to remove a mass on his side. His foster mom shared an update about the many ways Khakee has blossomed: "Khakee is fully recovered from his mass removal, out of his cone, and is sooo happy! He’s fully adjusted to being a house pet after living his whole life outside, and he’s making up for all of the lost cuddles and love. Khakee is such a sweet boy and a total Velcro dog! He loves to cuddle and play and give kisses. He says he loves this new way of life, and he’s never going back! He is going to make the very best companion for some lucky person or family. Khakee is a great eater with a healthy appetite! He is fed kibble twice daily. He loves chicken and rice as a treat. He also loves dog treats and chews. He doesn't seem to have any guarding with his mealtime, you can pet him while he is eating and he's fine, but he likes to be left alone while chewing on his bone. He also loves his treat puzzle! Khakee understandably had a few accidents the first week, but since then, he has done great and had no accidents! He sleeps through the night without having to go potty and has been left alone up to 6 hours without having any accidents. Khakee seems to really love other dogs! He hasn't played with any of them off of his leash yet, but when meeting other dogs on walks or at restaurants, he does great. He seems to be fine being the only dog at our house, but I think he would also enjoy being in a home with other dogs. Khakee loves his walks! He can walk 2-3 miles at a time, and really enjoys it. He does well on the leash, walks pretty slow, and likes to sniff/explore. Khakee is such a sweetheart! He's a really easy dog to care for, and a joy to have around."
