About Kramer

Kramer is a senior fellow at 14 years old, with that signature dignified charm you find in seasoned companions. Thought to be a Shiba Inu and Chihuahua mix, he’s the kind of dog who enjoys each part of his daily routine—especially when food, treats, or a nap are involved. Kramer’s previous people could no longer care for him due to illness, but he’s adjusted well with his foster. He’s house and crate trained, loves car rides, and is happiest when snuggling on his own terms or meandering on evening walks. Kramer gets along fine with cats (he prefers a peaceful coexistence and gives them space). He might warm up to an older, mellow dog, but would be quite satisfied as the only pup in the house. He’ll sit with you for a cuddle, but isn’t keen on being picked up or held. Kramer isn’t a fit for a home with children but thrives in calm, steady company. Kramer qualifies for a senior discount adoption fee. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
