Hang on to your hats, people, we’ve got a stealth puppy in the senior zone! Kevin, a nifty terrier who looks like an emo rock icon, is a scruffy action figure who has dedicated his life to athleisure – not the clothes, just the lifestyle. He runs, trots and wiggles like a champ, taking care to nap and socialize with dogs and people as needed. Play in all its forms is a priority, especially when supplemented by toys, or Kevin’s kryptonite: A ball. In fact, we admit that if you adopt Kevin, a ball is possibly the only thing he will love as much as you; though, as the person who throws the balls, you will be adored beyond measure.
Here’s some notes from his foster:
Hello from Kevin’s foster family!
He is doing great so far. He gets along well with my dog, a 2 year old German shepherd mix. She wants to play, he is not terribly interested. But they get along fine. He is not a fan of my cat, but he does seem to understand what the hissing means.
He is figuring out potty training, he knows what to do and where to do it, and he has good intentions. He is getting there! Not too bad for someone who was a stray.
As far as his obsession with balls (meaning, anything remotely round and smaller than the planet Earth): it is cute for a little while but then it becomes too much. We have been limiting him. He will literally run until he drops, so the ball really should be used sparingly and only on grass.
We went on a mile-long walk yesterday and he was great on the leash. He enjoys a brisk walk! He slept through the night just fine, went potty outside in the morning. He enjoys sitting next to me on the couch.
Overall, he is a super sweet little guy that will make someone a lovely companion and walking buddy.
