About Kane

Kane is around 7-8 years old and has been waiting patiently for his person. He’s keen on treats—except maybe broccoli—but shines on leisurely walks where no scent goes unsniffed, and rolls through the grass like he invented it. Toss a soccer ball and he’ll chase it with surprising enthusiasm for a senior dog. Some call him stubborn, but it’s really Kane’s sharp mind at work; he reads routines, learns tricks, and negotiates comebacks with treats whenever he isn’t quite ready to head inside. After two ACL surgeries, Kane claimed his spot as a VIP in the operations manager’s office for recovery, growing fond of cozy digs and close companionship. He delivers legendary wet kisses, keeps near his favorite people, and has an uncanny knack for persuading humans into giving extra snacks. Kane bonds deeply and, while he takes time to trust, once you’re in his circle, you’re family. He thrives as the only pet and wants someone who’s home often to share his loyalty, big heart, and sense of humor. Born April 17th, Kane is an Aries—naturally headstrong, clever, and loyal.
