Meet Kai – The Little Lap Puppy with the Biggest Eyes
Kai may be ready to run, explore, and play when he's on the ground—but the second you sit down, he has another plan.
Your lap is now his lap.
This sweet little puppy loves attention and cuddles, and if there's an available person sitting nearby, Kai would very much like to climb aboard for some pets.
He's playful, curious, adventurous, and still just a baby learning what life as a family dog is all about.
And those big puppy eyes certainly don't hurt his chances of getting exactly what he wants.
Kai Loves:
-Sitting on laps
-Getting pets
-Cuddling
-Being carried
-Playing with other dogs
-Running and playing
-Sniffing and exploring
-Playing with toys
-Sunbathing
-Food and treats
-Being close to his people
Kai's Favorite Thing:
Your lap.
Kai is a cuddler.
His foster says that if you're sitting down, Kai wants to be sitting on your lap getting pets.
For such a curious and playful little guy, he certainly understands the importance of slowing down for some quality snuggle time.
He's immediately friendly with people and loves attention, making it pretty easy to fall for this little guy.
Still a Baby
Kai is very much a puppy, which means his future family gets to be part of teaching him everything he needs to know.
His potty-training introduction has started, but he's not house trained yet.
He's also just beginning his introduction to crate training.
Formal obedience training and leash walking haven't started yet either.
Kai isn't behind—he's simply a baby at the very beginning of the learning process.
He's food and toy motivated, which should give his future family some useful tools as they begin teaching him the basics.
Playful, Curious & Ready to Explore
Kai has plenty of puppy energy right now, but he's expected to settle into more of a medium energy level as he grows.
He enjoys running, exploring, playing with toys, and spending time with other dogs.
He can also be mouthy during play, which is normal puppy behavior that will need continued redirection as he learns appropriate play manners.
No significant behavioral concerns have been reported.
Kai hasn't had enough exposure yet to know how he'll handle every type of outing or environment, so his future family will get to introduce him gradually to more of the world.
Dogs, Cats & Kids
Kai loves other dogs and enjoys having canine friends.
He also loves kids.
His experience with cats is limited, so we can't say for certain how he'll do. Based on his temperament, his foster believes he would likely be fine with appropriate introductions and supervision.

Three Words That Describe Kai Best:
❤️ Cuddly
❤️ Sweet
❤️ Playful
Foster Location:
Holmen, WI
Meet & Greet Availability:
Kai's foster is happy to meet approved adopters within approximately 45 minutes of Holmen, WI.
Kai's litter was found as strays in Texas, and this little guy is now getting his chance to grow up knowing what it means to belong to a family.
He's still at the very beginning.
Potty training, crate training, leash walking, manners, commands—those skills will come with time and consistency.
What Kai already brings with him can't really be taught.
He's sweet. He's playful. He loves people and other dogs. And despite having plenty of curiosity about the world around him, he's already figured out that sometimes the very best place to be is curled up on someone's lap.
Give Kai the chance to grow up with you, and you may end up with a little shadow who's been your best friend from the very beginning.
