Forest is a two-year-old Black Mouth Cur with a loyal streak and a gentle heart looking for a truly special home in Kansas City, MO. At his core, Forest is a classic "leaner"—he wants to be close, to share space, and show unwavering affection to his person. Training him is a privilege; he’s eager, sharp, and always ready to soak up new lessons when trust is there. Once Forest bonds, he becomes fiercely devoted. Forest is a sensitive guy, happiest and most secure in a calm, women-only household. New people can rattle him, and men are especially intimidating, so a tranquil, feminine space is essential for him to thrive. Despite his nerves, Forest is all enthusiasm when it comes to dogs and loves having a canine buddy—he’s more confident and playful around other pups and would do best with a four-legged sibling. He packs a ton of puppy energy into every day and could chase tennis balls, squeakers, and chew bones for hours, but at his core, he adds peace and joy to quiet homes.
