About Kringle

Kringle is a 5-month-old mixed breed puppy (German Shepherd Dog and Pit Bull Terrier) living in Wichita, KS. He fits right in with other dogs, cats, and kids, and has quickly adjusted to his foster family's routines. When he first arrived, Kringle was timid and kept his distance, but within days he was playing with the dogs and even growing curious about the cats. He does best with patient introductions and a bit of reassurance. He is working on kennel training and, while he may whine at first, he settles after a short time. Kringle is also getting more comfortable with car rides—he quietly lies down and rides patiently. Walking on a leash is easy with him; he rarely pulls and is responsive to guidance. He can be shy with new people or passing dogs but opens up quickly. Above all, Kringle is affectionate and has a gentle, loving personality. He enjoys cuddling and is eager to bond with his people. With time and kindness, he reveals a playful and trusting side. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
