About Kendrick

Click apply to start the adoption process. Kendrick is a spirited and loving one-year-old hound/pit bull terrier mix with a medium build and a handsome brown and white short coat. This energetic pup came to the rescue from a situation where his previous family couldn't keep up with the needs of an active puppy, but he's proven himself to be a quick learner. Kendrick is making great progress with both leash and potty training. He truly shines when he's with people, always eager for snuggles, hugs, and plenty of affection. According to one volunteer, Kendrick is ready to be your constant companion, whether you're exploring new trails or lounging at home. He would do best in a lively, engaging household where he can keep up with the action. It's important to note that Kendrick is not a fit for homes with cats, as he loves to chase them. He is also looking to be your loyal sidekick in a dog-free home, embracing every moment spent with his humans. Kendrick promises lots of fun, warmth, and energy to any lucky adopter who can give him the love and stimulation he deserves. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
