About Kingston

Meet Kingston! This three-year-old dachshund mix is certainly one-of-a-kind. Some might say he's an adorable crispy vienna sausage with a personality to match. Weighing in at 24 pounds, Kingston is embarking on a weight loss journey, so he’ll need a supportive home that encourages healthy habits. He’s on the shy side at first but warms up to people for a sniff and a hello. Enjoying his outdoor strolls, Kingston is good on a leash, although toys haven’t quite captured his attention yet. Though he's great with other dogs, he prefers to keep to himself rather than engage in rough play. He seems indifferent to cats, as if they just blend into the background. A home with kids aged 12 and up would suit him best since he can be a little nervous initially. Visiting the vet might be challenging for Kingston, but who enjoys those trips anyway?
