About Kevin

Meet Kevin, a vibrant young pup who's around a year old. Despite his rocky start, having overcome parvo and other challenges, he carries an infectious joy that lights up any room. Weighing in at about 75 pounds, he still embodies that playful puppy spirit and tends to flop around like one too. Kevin is fully house and kennel trained and shows promise on a leash. His background means he’ll need regular vet visits, joint supplements, and possibly pain meds moving forward, but he never lets it hold him back from playing fetch in a fenced backyard. While Kevin hasn't interacted much with other dogs yet, he could be an excellent companion for older, respectful children. Due to his special needs, his adoption fee is reduced to $75, which includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip. It’s clear this special boy is looking for his forever home. Could you be the one he needs? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
