🎉 Say hello to Kahlua! This charming young pup just celebrated his first birthday in October 2024 and is ready to find his forever home! 🏡 Now, let's talk about Kahlua's journey. This delightful boy has faced some challenges in his short life. He and four of his furry companions were abandoned in a kennel, left to fend for themselves in a parking lot late at night. 😢 But don’t worry! Kahlua has shown remarkable resilience, making slow but steady progress in learning how to trust humans. When meeting new folks, Kahlua might come off a bit shy and will bark and avoid at first. If someone reaches for him a little too quickly, he could nip—so he’s definitely looking for someone patient and loving! A progress of gentle trust is critical for him, and he would thrive in an adult-only home where he can truly flourish. 🌱 Interestingly, Kahlua seems to have a preference for bonding with female humans—after all, who doesn’t love a good female connection? At the rescue, when Kahlua recognizes familiar faces, look out! He zooms right up to them, seeking love and attention, accompanied by the sweetest little kiss lick on the cheek before dashing off to explore again. 🐾 He enjoys the company of his dog buddies too, running around and having a blast in the play yard! Kahlua had a short stay with a foster home where he sparked joy, especially with the female human there, showcasing his playful, puppy-like personality. He found the joy of toys, flipping them in the air like the superstar he is! 🎾 And let’s not forget his hilarious interactions with mirrors—if he sees his reflection, he thinks, "Wow, who’s that handsome pup?" 😄 While Kahlua may need a bit of extra time to warm up to new surroundings, he is a heart-fetching bundle of potential! You'll need to assist him with potty training and leash manners, but isn’t that part of the fun? If you believe you can provide Kahlua that loving, patient home he so desperately deserves, Kahlua is eager for you to take the plunge and welcome him into your life.
