About Kevin

Kevin has the kind of easygoing charm you wish every dog had. His foster swears he’s one of the sweetest, happiest dogs to ever sprawl across a couch. Kevin prefers simply being near his people—he asks for little else, is easy to care for, and rarely makes a fuss. He’ll zoom around with pure puppy joy, then gladly flop down next to you when the energy’s out. Kevin’s quick to pick up new things, with “sit” mastered in no time if treats are involved. Playtime is his moment: he enjoys toys without wrecking them, and though he could easily win at tug-of-war, he chooses to let the smaller dogs shine instead. He’s confident, not pushy; content to just go with the flow while life moves around him. He gets along with every dog he’s met and would thrive in a home with other dogs. Kevin has met cats—his curiosity sometimes gets the best of him, so slow, careful introductions will work best for a peaceful household. He’s comfortable in a crate and keeps it clean, settling in overnight or when left alone. Housebreaking is nearly there, especially with routine walks and consistent potty breaks. Slow, thoughtful introductions to family and pets are recommended. Kevin is currently in a loving foster home in Cleveland, TN. Ready to meet him? Your new best friend is just one click away.
