About Kai

Kai is a little dynamo, a Chinese Crested puppy ready to steal your heart. This breed isn’t often seen in rescue, so it’s a special treat to have him here. He, along with his siblings, is a delightful bundle of energy who loves to run and play. While we can't confirm his pedigree, his charm is undeniable. At just 6 months old, Kai is still adjusting to his new life. He's shy, which means he would thrive in a home where another small, confident dog can guide him. He loves to play chase, so having a buddy around is a must. Kai hasn’t been tested with young children, so any kids should be gentle and understanding of his small size. This pup is active and always on the go. Think of him as a mini Greyhound; you'll rarely catch him walking. His playful nature is matched with a big appetite for fun. Though he’s learning to open up, he prefers running around to being held for long periods. Prospective adopters should be ready for the challenges yet rewarding experience of fostering a young dog. If you've always had a soft spot for Chinese Cresteds, this might just be your golden opportunity. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
