Karsyn is a 2-year-old, 16 lb Poodle/Maltese mix with a shy spirit and a history you can sense, even if the details are missing. Life's taught him to stay on guard—when he feels overwhelmed or unsafe, he may bite out of fear because he’s not yet learned a gentler way to protect himself. He isn't aggressive at heart; he’s just trying to get by in a world that hasn’t always been kind. He needs an experienced, patient person in a calm, adult-only home, someone who’s willing to give him the space and time to figure things out. Karsyn is looking for safety, understanding, and above all, a chance to trust again. Support, consistency, and empathy are non-negotiable for this little dog’s next chapter. There’s a good dog in there, waiting for a hand steady enough to help him heal. If you’re ready to give him a shot at real security, Karsyn’s waiting in Houston, TX.
