Kailis English Bulldog & German Shepherd Dog Mix Bellingham, WA

Hi, my name is Kailis! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:

-Personality: Friendly, a bit shy/timid in certain situations, playful, silly
-Can Live with Kids: Previous owner said he is scared of small children - dog-savvy kids ages 12+ may be okay (up to counselor's discretion)
-Can Live with Cats: No thanks - is known to chase cats/small animals
-Can Live with Dogs: Yes, Kailis could possibly live with another dog of similar size and energy. Introductions would be scheduled to ensure everyone gets along. He could also go home with his buddy Kovah although it is not required.
-Can do Apartment Living: No
-Potty Trained: Yes
-Bite History: No
-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Not required but would be beneficial
-Energy Level: Medium
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: No
-Additional Information:
Kovah and Kailis are brothers who were surrendered to the shelter due to housing issues. Kailis is a sweet but somewhat shy boy who would do best in a calm and quiet home. He's a total cuddlebug when he's comfortable, but can get easily overwhelmed when too much is going on. Both dogs were left alone for 8+ hours a day in his previous home and were not exercised as much as they needed - this is probably why they're a bit on the chunky side. Kailis would benefit greatly from having an active person willing to help him on his weight loss journey. He's never had formal training and may benefit from one or two positive reinforcement based lessons as well.
