A loving, attention-seeking pup ready to steal your heart! HISTORY: Abandoned or homeless. PERSONALITY: Kado is a bundle of joy with a myriad of endearing qualities that make him the perfect companion. His loving and sweet nature shines through in every interaction, making him a cherished member of the family. He thrives on attention and adores being close to older children and adults, always eager to share in their activities.  FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Kado is a delightful dog whose favorite activities paint a picture of pure joy and contentment. He thrives on the simple pleasures of life, such as indulging in his favorite meals—though he is quite the messy eater, he always cleans up after himself. Savoring the warmth of belly rubs makes him melt with happiness. When he’s not napping peacefully, Kado loves to explore the back yard, reveling in the freedom of open space. Adding a playful twist to his routine, a good game of tug with his favorite toy never fails to bring out his spirited side. MEDICAL ISSUES: None known of. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Kado will thrive in a loving home with a single adult who can give him plenty of attention and care, or with a couple and their older children or teenager(s) who can engage him in playful activities and provide structured environment. While Kado’s friendly nature shines brightly, a household without cats or small children would be ideal to ensure a peaceful and harmonious living situation. If you’re considering adding Kado with other pets, a female dog would be best over a male dog, but its always best to introduce them carefully and gradually to ensure compatibility.
