Kennedy is a small, brown Chihuahua mixed-breed with a strong spirit after a tough start. He’s still figuring out how to trust people, but you’ll see him trying—he follows his people, wags his tail for attention, and even hands out kisses on occasion. He’s house-trained and crate-trained, never has accidents, and settles easily at night or when left alone in a playpen. Give him a Nylabone or a ball and he’s happy, though he doesn’t like to share his toys. Kennedy can be affectionate, sometimes bumping against you or jumping in your lap to ask for attention, but then may growl or nip if handled when he's not ready. Treats—especially chicken—help keep him focused, and he knows basic commands like "sit" and "come." Leash handling around his neck makes him nervous, but once it’s on, he enjoys short walks. He’s looking for an experienced adopter who truly understands what it takes to help a dog gain confidence at his own pace. Kennedy is fine with other dogs but will do best in a home where routine, gentle handling, and patience are the norm. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
