Klondike

What would YOU do for a Klondike? Fortunately, for this Klondike, all you have to do is adopt him!

Klondike is a big, clumsy, affectionate oaf, and at 78 lbs, he loves a good lap to climb into. He has no concept of his size; he thinks he’s just a baby! When he gets the zoomies, he's basically a fuzzy freight train! Klondike plays hard and loves harder. He enjoys making new friends with people and is an excellent snuggle buddy when it's time to unwind. He can also be independent when he’s comfortable and go lay in a quiet space with his toys. He’s frequently found snoozing away in the guest room, hogging the full-size bed to himself.

Klondike enjoys a good game of fetch in the yard, but his favorite game is "keep away" because he loves when you can get in on the activity with him. He is estimated to be around 4 years old.

Ideal Home

Klondike can be quite rowdy and boisterous in his play style with people and other dogs, so he would do best in a home with plenty of room to run around in a fenced-in yard. Due to his size and play style, he’s better suited for older kiddos, though he has been quite gentle with little ones that he’s met. He will need extra time to adjust to other doggie companions and may enjoy being a spoiled single pup even more. His current foster brother doesn't mind his activity and rough wrestling, so other doggie playmates that are tolerant of his size and rowdy tendencies would be best.

Ongoing Health

All dogs receive their DAPPL, Rabies, and Bordatella vaccines, though you may be required to get follow-up boosters. All dogs come microchipped and with a Cuyahoga County license. Dogs adopted from the kennel need to go to your personal vet within two weeks of leaving the kennel.

Training & Support

Klondike has made leaps and bounds with his overall house manners in his foster home. He is totally housebroken and crate-trained. He is gentle taking treats and toys. He understands basic cues like sit, down, and touch thanks to his hard work with a trainer. He’s a big guy with big feelings.
