If happiness had a mascot, it would at 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, being loved is an absolute thrill! 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, a 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 or 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 meet your expectations.
Ideal Home
Koi's ideal home will give him an outlet for his energy through walks, playdates, or backyard fun. He thrives with people who don't mind his occasional joyful jumps or sneaky smooches (face licks!). He's a small package with a big-dog heart and a contagious joy for life. The perfect dog for those who love to host and have dog-loving friends and family. He 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 ongoing health concerns are noted in the description.
Training & Support
Koi has basic leash skills that will polish to perfection with practice and the occasional gentle correction. He is social and playful with other dogs, but his enthusiastic playstyle can be overwhelming for some dogs. He tends to pester dogs to play in an annoying, younger sibling sort of way. He would do best with dogs that have a very similar playstyle or would be perfectly content being your one and only.
