About Kai

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Meet Kai! This sweet senior boy is ready to find his forever home. At a perfect 30 pounds, he's the ideal size for anyone looking for a companion who's not too big, not too small. Kai was surrendered when his mom moved into assisted living and couldn't take him along, but now he's hoping to find a new family who will love him like he deserves. Kai is extremely loyal and forms strong bonds with his people. His happy, affectionate personality shines when he's with those he trusts. He loves carrying his toys around and proudly showing them off, and when it's time to play, his zoomies will definitely bring a smile to your face! Kai takes treats very gently, always polite and appreciative. He's house-trained and easygoing, but he would do best in a home without children, as they tend to make him nervous. Kai can live with another dog as long as they respect his space and understand he enjoys having some room to himself. He's more of a laid-back, independent guy, so a calm, low-pressure environment with an adult-only household would be ideal. Kai likes a routine, and does not like to stray from that routine, so a home where there is a lot of structure would be a great fit. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who will fill your home with joy (and maybe even a few zoomies!), Kai could be the perfect fit for you. As a Scorpio, he is likely to be particularly devoted and intuitive! Come meet this wonderful senior today and give him the second chance he deserves! Start your journey together! Apply now. Kai is currently available at Canine Rescue of Central PA Inc.
