About Kong

Kong is back, and he's ready to share some extra love! This unique dog boasts the solid build of a Staffordshire mixed with the scruffy coat of a Wire-Haired Terrier. Though adopted about seven months ago, he returned through no fault of his own, regaining nearly 40 lbs since his last visit. Kong is looking for a forever home where he can lose some weight and thrive. Personality-wise, Kong is exceptionally easygoing. He walks beautifully on a leash, taking leisurely strolls to sniff the sights and enjoy life at his own pace. He appreciates affection but also enjoys his alone time and doesn’t crave constant attention. While fetch used to be his game, nowadays, he's happier relaxing than chasing toys. Kong comes with excellent house manners. His previous family reported that he is housebroken, kennel trained, and leash trained. He gets along well with kids and other dogs, making him an ideal companion. With his gentle spirit and laid-back attitude, Kong is ready for another chance to find his loving forever home!
