About Kaizen

Meet Kaizen, or as his friends fondly call him, Kai! At 8 months old, this brindle boy boasts adorable tiger stripes, perky ears, and an infectious smile highlighted by a tongue that seems perpetually out; he's just that happy. Weighing around 20 pounds, he’s likely reached his perfect size, making him the ideal companion for any adventure. His foster family suspects he has some short-legged breed mixed in, which only adds to his charm. Kaizen is a playful pup who absolutely adores other dogs. He knows how to have a good time, and he’s also learning when to wind down. His favorite pastime? Carrying around oversized plush toys—if it’s bigger than him, it’s guaranteed to be his favorite! Already neutered and progressing well with crate and potty training, Kaizen is almost at a perfect score of 10/10. He hasn't met any cats or kids yet, so his compatibility with them remains to be seen. If you're ready for a cheerful, stripey sidekick who will likely trot towards you with a stuffed animal that dwarfs him, fill out an application to meet him!
