About Cayenne

Cayenne is a delightful young lad with a dash of spice and an abundance of sweetness. His stunning brindle coat complements his warm brown eyes and gentle nature, making him hard to resist. At about a year old and weighing around 40 pounds, he’s the perfect size for a loving companion. Cayenne arrived from a rural Kentucky shelter, where he was surrendered with his three littermates after his previous family found it tough to care for all four puppies. While we hope his siblings will join us at Heartland, Cayenne represents his family beautifully. This friendly boy adores other dogs and has been quickly making friends in our playgroups. He is also known to be wonderful with children and cats, which is a great bonus. As a young pup, Cayenne has boundless energy and curiosity, making this the perfect time for him to learn and grow into an enchanting companion. If you’re in search of a cheerful, social dog with a hint of Kentucky charm, Cayenne might be the ideal match for you. Ready to meet Cayenne? He’s excited to find a loving family to share his life with. Click apply to start the adoption process.
