If happiness had a mascot, I'm pretty sure it would at the least resemble Koi. This boy is the definition of a people's-dog, spreading wiggly affection and 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. He enjoys adventure and is an eager explorer with basic leash skills that will polish to perfection with practice and gentle correction. He checks in often and is happy to deliver on your expectations.
Ideal Home
Koi would thrive in a home that can provide an outlet for his energy through walks, playdates, or backyard fun. He would do best with people who don't mind his occasional joyful jumps or sneaky smooches. He also needs a family with slightly older kids who can handle his excitement, as he does jump up gently to give hugs. Koi would also be perfectly content being your one and only companion.
Ongoing Health
Koi is a rescue, so his exact breed and birthday cannot be guaranteed.
Training & Support
Koi is social and playful with other dogs. He is polite during on-leash introductions, with a little excitement sneaking in here and there, but it is all in a friendly nature. His friendly enthusiasm and playstyle can sometimes be overwhelming for dogs who don't match his energy. 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 would be with dogs that have a very similar Frenchie/Boston type of baby bull playstyle.
