About Klein

Meet Klein! This charming guy loves treats and knows how to “sit,” though he can be a bit of a treat shark. His new family will need to work with him on taking treats gently to ensure a positive experience. Klein enjoys playing with toys, too. He came to the shelter as a stray, so his history with children and other animals is unclear. While at the shelter, he’s shown some pushy behaviors towards other dogs, so it’s best that any canine companions are well matched and introduced gradually. Klein loves his food and may thrive if fed separately from other pets to reduce any stress. He has been in the shelter for over a month, making him our longest resident. Currently, he resides in a loving foster home, and you can contact his foster parent, Molly, at gmftallpines@gmail.com to set up a visit. Be sure to check your messages for a response within 24 hours. Remember, a meet-and-greet is necessary before adoption, and adopters should aim to meet within 48 hours of inquiry. For the safety of all, current pets cannot meet Klein prior to adoption. You’ll have a limited timeframe to complete paperwork at the HSPPR Adoptions Lobby after your meet-and-greet. Don't wait too long to connect with this lovely boy!
