About Kyle

Kyle is a 5-year-old Pug with a big, charming personality packed into his small, squishy body. After his family surrendered him when their older dog became aggressive, Kyle has put those tough times behind him and is now thriving in Colorado. He gets along famously with other dogs—currently living happily with eight of them in his foster home, from big to small. Kyle is outgoing, happy, and remarkably easygoing, always ready with a smile and a goofy tongue out. His signature move is a little tippy-tappy dance whenever he gets excited. This boy is house trained and loves spending time with people and dogs alike. However, he’s not suited for homes with children, as he can feel stressed around them. The right home for Kyle is adult-only, offering him patience, love, and regular positive-reinforcement training to keep him confident and well-adjusted. Kyle is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and has started treatment for a mild heartworm diagnosis—Farfel’s Rescue will cover the full cost of his heartworm treatment until he’s clear. Kyle is ready for a fresh start and the happy, affectionate life he deserves. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
