Kelce's Story

Meet Kelce!<br/><br/>Age: 9 Months<br/>Weight: 38 lbs (and still growing!)<br/>Breed: Wheaten Terrier Mix (best guess)<br/><br/>If you're looking for a fun-loving, goofy companion with a heart of gold, Kelce may be your perfect match! This handsome young Wheaten Terrier mix was found as a stray in Detroit and, unfortunately, was never reclaimed. While his past remains a mystery, one thing is certain—Kelce is ready to find a family of his very own.<br/><br/>At just 9 months old, Kelce is all puppy. He's happy, social, affectionate, and absolutely loves attention from his people. There isn't a mean bone in this boy's body. He approaches life with enthusiasm and excitement, which means he's still learning that not everyone appreciates a flying puppy greeting! Like many adolescents, Kelce is working on his manners and will need a confident, consistent family willing to continue teaching him appropriate behavior and helping him become the best version of himself.<br/><br/>Kelce enjoys roughhousing and playing with other dogs that can match his energy level and playful style. Toys are one of his favorite things, and he is always ready for the next game or adventure. He has demonstrated a good understanding of house manners once he settled into the routine of his foster home, proving that structure and consistency go a long way with this smart young boy.<br/><br/>Because of his size, enthusiasm, and youthful energy, Kelce would do best with older, dog-savvy children. While he adores people of all ages, his excitement and tendency to jump when happy may be a bit too much for younger children or toddlers.<br/><br/>Crates are not Kelce's favorite invention, and he isn't shy about sharing his opinion. He will happily vocalize his displeasure when crated, so apartment, condo, or mobile home living would not be a good fit for him. He's also working on leash manners, though his adolescent brain can sometimes make it difficult for him to stay focused on the task at hand. Continued training, patience, and positive reinforcement will be important as he matures.<br/><br/>Kelce is seeking an active family that understands puppies don't magically grow into well-mannered adult dogs—they become great companions through guidance, training, and commitment. A physical fenced yard would be ideal, giving him a safe place to run, play, and burn off some of that youthful energy. He is not a good candidate for a tether or invisible fence.<br/><br/>If you're ready to invest the time and energy into a wonderful young dog who will reward you with endless love, laughter, and companionship, Kelce is ready to meet you. He's looking for a family that will love him, guide him, and cherish him furever.<br/><br/>Kelce is:<br/>Current on Bordetella, Distemper, and Rabies<br/>Dewormed<br/>Heartworm Tested: Negative<br/>Receiving Heartworm and Flea Prevention<br/>Microchipped<br/>Neutered<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: $375<br/><br/>IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry.<br/><br/>Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal's temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.<br/><br/>While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.<br/><br/>FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS.
