Kenai hasn't had the fairest hand in life.
He was dumped at a literal dump, like he was trash. Then, as if that wasn't enough, Kenai contracted ringworm. Ringworm requires puppies and dogs to spend a longer-than-average quarantine period in the shelter to prevent it from spreading.
Unfortunately, that kind of isolation can be especially hard on some dogs. While Kenai's siblings have been able to enjoy the company of other dogs, Kenai can be a little more selective. We consider his behavior dog selective because, at his core, Kenai is afraid of other dogs.
If there is another dog in the home, we would recommend a mature, confident companion who won't be too pushy with him. Of course, a meet-and-greet will happen first with any potential dog siblings to make sure everyone is comfortable.
Kenai was also very afraid when meeting children. The curious, touchy, quick and quirky nature of little humans is simply not his cup of tea. Older children who understand boundaries and have a calmer demeanor would be a much better fit for this sensitive boy.
Kenai needs a home where his people will understand his fear and uncertainty rather than expect him to overcome everything overnight. He needs patience. He needs consistency. Most of all, he needs someone willing to show him that not every human is going to let him down.
The world hasn't been very kind to Kenai.
But you can be. ❤️
