Kelso's Story

I'm Kelso. I'm a handful of fun and affection. Literally. I'm a tiny little thing. Cuddles are my favorite. I'm learning about living inside and that people are gentle and safe. In the first days, I cowered in my crate, afraid, but now I can't wait to wake up and play. I've had some time with large dogs and have done very well, curious but not fearful. I'd be great as a single dog or as a teammate to a patient dog who knows I'm small and a puppy who will do some nipping. I'd love some patient humans who can continue to teach me all about love and how to be brave--plus all the other important things a puppy needs to learn.
