Kenickie

Meet Kenickie — A Special Boy Looking for a Patient Home <br/><br/>Kenickie is a 4-year-old hairless sweetheart who recently came to us from a hoarding situation. His past has left him understandably fearful, and he’s looking for a very specific kind of forever family—someone willing to earn his trust at his pace.<br/><br/>New environments and unfamiliar people can be overwhelming for Kenickie. When frightened, his first instinct is to hide and avoid interaction, and he can be sensitive to being touched by people he doesn’t yet trust. If pushed beyond his comfort zone, he may fear bite (although this little guy only has a few teeth!).<br/><br/>Kenickie isn’t a dog who will immediately run into a stranger’s arms—and that’s okay. He needs someone experienced with fearful or undersocialized dogs who understands decompression, boundaries, and allowing a dog to initiate affection when he’s ready.<br/><br/>He’s also very much a homebody. He’s not looking for a busy social life or constant adventures. His perfect world is a predictable, peaceful home where he can establish his routine, find his favorite safe spot, and slowly learn that he’s finally somewhere he doesn’t have to be afraid.<br/><br/>We know there’s someone out there who will look at Kenickie and say, “You don’t have to love me today. I’ll give you the time you need.”<br/><br/>For the right person, watching this scared little boy finally feel safe will be something incredibly special.
