Meet Kai!

Kai came to us through our Humane Investigations Department in January of 2024. After having a bit of a rough start to life Kai is a bit wary of new people, but he has since begun to blossom and is doing an incredible job of making new friends. He is a wonderful boy, who loves to play. He is highly food motivated and a very smart young pup – he has even picked up a few tricks and has been working on training with our Behavior Department, so that he can have the best manners. He loves to learn new things! Always having snacks makes learning new things easier for him!

Kai’s favorite activities are going on walks, playing ball in our play yards or spending time sniffing around in our enrichment spaces. He also loves to go to playgroup where he gets to wrestle with other pups here at the shelter – something he looks forward to every week! He’s still a little shy when he meets new people, but once he gets to know you he’s a bouncy and playful boy. Kai would do best in a home with only adults, and could live with another dog pending a successful meet and greet!
