About Kelso

Meet Kelso, a 5-month-old German Shepherd Lab mix with a fun and affectionate personality! Kelso absolutely loves spending time with his people and is eager to please, making him a wonderful companion.

True to his breed mix, Kelso is expected to grow into an energetic and intelligent dog who will thrive with an active family. He'll benefit from regular exercise and plenty of mental and physical enrichment to keep him busy and happy.
