Allen has been an underdog his whole life. He was abandoned at a rural kill shelter in Kentucky and overlooked for months. He sat in a tiny cage for months without socialization or getting outside. Finally his time was up and he was scheduled to be euthanized. A nice volunteer met him a few months back and saw his potential. She decided to pull him without a plan and saved his life.

Allen has proven to be a loyal boy. He enjoys playing with other dogs but can also be alone with his person. He’s got the fun-loving energy of boxer and is eager to please his person. He will do best with an experienced dog owner!

Allen went through a training assessment and passed with flying colors. Everyone loved him. We recommend no cats in the home as he could chase. Please help us find Allen the ending he deserves.
