Meet Kieran, a lovable, lap-sized dog who wears his gentle giant status with pride. If you want a companion who’s happiest glued to your side soaking up affection, Kieran will never turn down a scratch—especially behind the ears, on his belly, or pretty much anywhere else you’re willing to help him out. Despite his bigger frame, he’s convinced he belongs squarely in your lap. Kieran is famous for his relaxed "sploots," often stretching out in the shade or catching a nap by the window. Food and treats sit high on his list of joys, and even bath time gets tail wags when it comes with good company and plenty of scratches. He is a calm, easygoing soul who’s still learning the ropes when it comes to new experiences. Around dogs, Kieran is polite and curious. He can be introduced slowly to new pups. With cats, he tends to show interest but has not become fast friends. He does get along well with children, and his affectionate streak shines in family settings. Born July 3, Kieran is a Cancer—no surprise he craves warmth and security with his people. This big-hearted friend is looking for a home where he can offer gentle companionship in return for all the gentle love you’ve got to share. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
