Kenny is a large, short-coated Anatolian Shepherd mix with a striking black coat. At about 7 months old, he’s already neutered, vaccinated, and picking up the basics of house manners.

About Kenny

Kenny is about 7 months old and, despite his mostly black short coat, he carries some unmistakable Anatolian Shepherd traits—most notably the double dewclaws on his rear legs. He’s a big, goofy puppy with ears that have a mind of their own and a personality to match. Kenny knows how to sit and is eager to learn more, though leash training is still a work in progress. This sweet boy’s past wasn’t easy—he was abandoned and chained up outside without water for nearly a week before a kind neighbor stepped in. Through it all, Kenny hasn’t lost his playful spirit or affectionate nature. He’ll thrive in a home ready for a growing, large-breed pup who needs structure, patience, and love to settle in. Kenny gets along with other dogs and, at his core, he’s just an earnest puppy waiting for someone who will never leave him behind. Kenny is currently in Mojave, CA.
