About Kingston

Meet Kingston, affectionately known as Crusty Man. He was surrendered to the local shelter in tough shape, missing much of his fur and needing serious care. Thankfully, he’s making a remarkable recovery with baths and plenty of love. His coat is coming back, and his lively spirit is shining through. At just 10 lbs, Kingston gets along well with other dogs and children, making him a perfect companion for a loving home. He’s a little hesitant with stairs, so he’ll need some help getting around. If you’re ready to welcome Kingston into your home, he’s eager to be your new furry friend. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
