Fostered in San Diego
***
Hello People,
My name is Kissable and Captivating Kenzie –and I’m a sweet, smart and sassy little girl going on three (years, that is) who is looking for my forever home. My foster Mom says I’m very loving and affectionate — and a lot of fun to have around. I get along with other pups however I’m very much a ‘people person’ (I mean dog) and love to be the center of attention. Did I mention that I talk? I really do! You can have complete conversations with me and I’ll be happy to tell you anything you want to know!
I run like the wind (I’m very fast!) and love to explore the yard. While I am long on (good) looks and cute as can be, I’m also pretty willful. That is why I need someone who is smarter than I am and will guide me into perfect behaviors. I walk nicely on a leash and LOVE to ride in the car. Did I mention that I’m a great walking companion too? People love to stop and admire my cuteness- so whoever walks me gets a lot of attention (I mean exercise) too!
On my walks, however, I do tend to bark at some of the dogs who pass us. Mom corrects me with a verbal command and tells me to ‘sit.’ I do that part really well. That’s one of the reasons she says I need an experienced owner and one who will show me the best way to behave.
I love to cuddle and am known to snuggle up to Mom (and anyone else I can) and stay for as long as I can. I also love to sleep in the Big People’s bed at night and am exceptionally good at sharing the bed. Being with my special person helps me feel very loved and protected – and Mom likes it too.
Mom says when I was adopted previously it was simply because I am cute. The people who adopted me had no dog experience and I got off to a very bad start – so Mom has worked hard to “undo” some of the things that I learned in my previous home.
My Ideal Home:
*Someone home most of the time
*No other FurKids required–I like to be the center of attention
*Adults committed to continuing my training
Experience level:
*No first-time adopters
*Recent dog experience
*Rescue dog experience a plus
*Experience with a dominant dog a plus
Since I was neglected in my ‘past life’ I’m waiting to make up for lost time – and am looking for a forever family who will appreciate my femininity and my affectionate nature – and will continue my training so I can become the bestest little girl that I can be. Mom says there is no doubt that I’m worth the effort!!
If I sound like the pup you are looking for, please complete our application, It will be only the most special home to which I am adopted, as I’m a very special kind of pup.
Tail wags and cuddles,
Kissable, Cherished and Captivating Kenzie
I love to go for walks and rides in the car – and I began to miss them a lot. You see my “Original Mom” had a stroke and couldn’t do those things with me anymore. So she hired some wonderful ladies who took me for walks and spent time with me. As her health continued to fail, Original Mom made the most difficult decision a loving dog mom could make. She knew I had a lot of spirit and spunk and that it wasn’t fair for me to be confined to a house all the time (I would never complain). Mom decided she needed to ‘relinquish me’ so I could be in a home again where I could do the things we used to do together.
When it comes to playing well I’m the most playful of all the pups. I’m the one most likely to grab the biggest toy in the bunch, start a wrestling match or initiate a game of ‘chase.’ I’m also known for having some very “entertaining” ways. For example, Mom says I like to carry her heavy work shoes down the hall and onto the bed every day – but I’d never think of chewing them. On the other hand I do nibble my doggy foster siblings’ feet (to get them to play with me!)
You see, before I became a FurKid, I led a rather difficult life. I didn’t get to meet people or other pups and was pretty isolated. I probably lived outside (as I was very matted and full of burrs and sticks), didn’t know about toys — or the joys of running, chasing, walking on a leash or riding in a car.
While I did not know any commands when I first came to my foster home, I quickly learned my name. Then, to show Mom how smart I am, I also learned a few more, namely “sit”, “paw”, and “touch”. (And another thing you might like: I can also pee on command during my walk).
My Ideal Home:
Did I mention that I just love people? AND I also love other dogs. My foster Mom and Dad call me their shadow because I want to be with them all the time. I love following them around and watching what they are doing; I know there are all kinds of things that I can learn —and I simply want to be near them! While there are many cute things that I do to entertain them, the one that really, truly makes them smile and laugh is when I sit just like a person! Here’s how that works: I put my hind legs out front, sit up really tall and straight, and stay perfectly still. In other words, I imitate them so they will think I’m a people too! 
I love to play with my toys and fetch them and bring them back to my house (or crate or whatever it’s called). I also really love fruit! Blueberries, strawberries, apples, bananas, pumpkin… you name it! I don’t like vegetables though because vegetables are icky! Eww!! Did I mention I like to cuddle?? Well, I DO! It’s my jam. Morning, noon, or night, if you need a cuddle buddy, look no further! I’m the guy for that job.
