DESCRIPTION
Why choose me?
When King Kong first arrived at the shelter, he was too scared to leave his kennel, but he's coming around and finding out he can have fun with friends in an interaction pen. He was already outside with a caretaker when I joined them. I soon learned that Kong is a smart dog who quickly sits for treats. He also knows how to shake and lie down for them. I was impressed with how well Kong listened and followed commands. He saw me as a new friend, and I sneaked in a few pets as I rewarded him with treats. He still needs time to feel comfortable with being leashed, but he'll get there. Kong seems to like other dogs and had fun running along the fence with his canine neighbor. He's a good boy but needs time to trust.

ABOUT: MIXED BREED DOG BREED
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
