Kauffman - Shepherd and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Lenexa, Kansas

Meet Kauffman!

An 8-week-old Terrier/Pit Bull mix puppy ready to leave his difficult past behind and start the life he deserves.

Kauffman and his siblings were found abandoned after their owners moved away, left in a crate with no food, water, or air conditioning to survive on their own. After ending up in an overcrowded shelter where they were at risk of euthanasia due to lack of space, they were given a second chance.

Like all young puppies, they'll need patient families committed to potty training, socialization, and all the fun (and work!) that comes with raising a puppy.

We're still getting to know each puppy's unique personality, so check back soon for individual updates as they settle into foster care!
