Traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?

He is large, he is in charge, he is our beloved god of the deep - but like, put it in a puppy and give it a cute, squishy face and noticeably less tentacles.

This is Kraken. He will not be ignored. You WILL worship him as he deserves, with snuggles and treatos and anything else a reformed eldritch horror masquerading as a puppy demands. And in return? He will be your loyal and loving overlord, and bless your days with laughter and love. And maybe keep any other monstrous deep water cryptids away, because there's only room in this house for ONE Kraken, and that's him.

Foster's Location: Frederica, DE

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.
