If happiness had a mascot, I'm pretty sure it would at the least resemble Koi. This boy is the definition of a peoples-dog, spreading wiggly affection and an enthusiasm for love everywhere he goes. To him, it is absolutely a thrill to be loved! The moment you start petting him, you can see him light up like it's the best day of his life- tail wagging, body wiggling, whole-face smile.. Standing still for love is just not his style! Koi is estimated to be 1.5 years old, weighs 33 lbs, and we suspect he is a mini Boxer/English Bulldog mix, with a big personality, but we cannot guarantee breed or birthday considering he is a rescue. Koi enjoys adventure and is an eager explorer who has basic leash skills and will polish to perfection with practice and the occasional gentle correction. He checks in often and is happy to deliver on your expectation.
Ideal Home
Koi's ideal home will give him an outlet for his energy- walks, playdates, or backyard fun- and people who don't mind his occasional joyful jumps or sneaky smooches (aka-face licks). He's a small package with a big-dog heart and a contagious joy for life. The perfect dog if you love hosting and have a dog-loving bunch of friends and family. He is friendly, outgoing, and greets new people with open paws and a full-body wiggle. He does jump up gently to give hugs so a family with slightly older kids who can handle his excitement would be perfect.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Koi is a social and playful guy. He is polite during on-leash introductions, with a little excitement sneaking in here and there but it is all in a friendly nature. He loves a good playmate with matching energy but tends to pester dogs to play in an annoying, younger sibling sort of way. His best fit is with dogs that have a very similar frenchy/boston type of baby bull playstyle. This boy would also be perfectly content being your one and only!
