Meet Kevin!
Basic Information:
Name: Kevin
Age: 4 years
Breed: Pug-Chihuahua Mix
Gender: Male
Compatibility: Excellent with dogs and cats; best suited for a home without young children during his transition period
Special Considerations: Needs a calm, patient, and loving home to help him adjust
Personality: Kevin is a charming and handsome pug-chihuahua mix who is known for his loyalty and dedication. Despite his initial shyness and "stranger danger," Kevin has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion in the right environment. He is deeply bonded to his human, and once he forms that connection, he is incredibly affectionate and loving.
Training and Behavior: Due to his recent transition, Kevin is currently shut down and wary. He requires a calm and patient home where he can feel safe and secure. His new family should be prepared for a long adjustment period and be willing to give him the time and space he needs to open up. Kevin does great with other dogs and cats, making him an excellent fit for a home with existing pets.
Socialization: Kevin's previous home environment included children, but given his current state of anxiety, a home without young children would be best during his adjustment period. He thrives in a stable, low-activity household where he can gradually build trust and confidence. With time and patience, Kevin will become a devoted and loving member of the family.
Daily Care and Routine: Establishing a consistent daily routine is crucial for Kevin's well-being. Regular, gentle walks and quiet time in a safe space will help him adjust to his new surroundings. His ideal home would provide a calm environment with minimal disruptions, allowing him to feel secure and supported.
Health and Wellness: Kevin is in good health but requires a supportive and understanding environment to help him transition smoothly. Regular vet check-ups, a balanced diet, and a stress-free lifestyle will ensure he remains healthy and happy.
Adoption Information: Given Kevin's need for a careful adjustment period, Pug Pals Rescue is open to a foster-to-adopt placement. This approach allows potential adopters to ensure that Kevin is the right fit for their home before finalizing the adoption. If you have a calm, patient, and loving home, Kevin could be the perfect addition to your family.
