Based on his temperament, his foster believes he would likely be fine with appropriate introductions and supervision.<br/><br/>A Few Things to Know:<br/><br/>-Still a young puppy<br/>-Likely medium energy as he matures<br/>-Potty-training introduction has started<br/>-Crate-training introduction has started<br/>-Has not started formal obedience training yet<br/>-Has not yet been introduced to leash walking<br/>-Food motivated<br/>-Toy motivated<br/>-Immediately friendly<br/>-Loves attention<br/>-Very cuddly<br/>-Can be mouthy during play<br/>-Loves other dogs<br/>-Loves children<br/>-Still needs continued puppy socialization, structure, and training<br/>-No major behavioral concerns noted<br/>-Little guy with very big eyes<br/><br/>Great Activities for Kai:<br/><br/>-Playing with dog friends<br/>-Puppy training sessions<br/>-Sniffing and exploring<br/>-Playing with toys<br/>-Running around outside<br/>-Sunbathing<br/>-Age-appropriate enrichment<br/>-Gentle socialization<br/>-Family time<br/>-Being carried<br/>-Lots and lots of lap cuddles<br/><br/>Best Match:<br/><br/>-First-time dog owners prepared for puppyhood<br/>-Patient adopters<br/>-Active or outdoorsy families<br/>-Calm or quiet households<br/>-Families with children<br/>-Homes with another friendly dog<br/>-Someone excited to teach a puppy from the beginning<br/>-A family committed to continued socialization and training<br/>-Someone with an available lap and absolutely no expectation of personal space<br/><br/>Three Words That Describe Kai Best:<br/><br/> Cuddly<br/> Sweet<br/> Playful<br/><br/>Foster Location:<br/><br/>Holmen, WI<br/><br/>Meet & Greet Availability:<br/>Kai's foster is happy to meet approved adopters within approximately 45 minutes of Holmen, WI.<br/><br/>Kai's litter was found as strays in Texas, and this little guy is now getting his chance to grow up knowing what it means to belong to a family.<br/><br/>He's still at the very beginning.<br/><br/>Potty training, crate training, leash walking, manners, commands-those skills will come with time and consistency.<br/><br/>What Kai already brings with him can't really be taught.<br/><br/>He's sweet. He's playful. He loves people and other dogs. And despite having plenty of curiosity about the world around him, he's already figured out that sometimes the very best place to be is curled up on someone's lap.<br/><br/>Give Kai the chance to grow up with you, and you may end up with a little shadow who's been your best friend from the very beginning.<br/><br/>Ready to meet Kai?
