About Stockton

Meet Stockton, a charming mixed breed puppy currently in a foster home in Kansas City. He’s a little chunky with short legs and an independent spirit. Stockton enjoys the company of other dogs and loves to romp around with the bigger pups during playtime. While he does enjoy the outdoors, he’s not fond of hot weather; he prefers to frolic when it’s cooler. At about 12 weeks old, Stockton is already a bit of a night owl. He sleeps in bed with his foster and will snuggle up for the night as long as he gets to go out before bed and has his water taken away. He’s quick to let you know when he needs to go potty first thing in the morning and then follows it up with a hearty breakfast. While he might not be a fan of being held—he’s got places to be—he would feel right at home with another non-bossy dog and older kids who can handle his playful puppy antics. If you think Stockton might be a good fit for your family, don’t hesitate to reach out to learn more. Click apply to start the adoption process.
