If happiness had a mascot, it would definitely resemble Koi! This boy is the epitome of a people-dog, spreading wiggles, affection, and enthusiasm for love wherever he goes. To him, being loved is an absolute thrill! The moment you start petting him, he lights up like it's the best day ever – tail wagging, body wiggling, and a whole-face smile. Standing still for affection just isn't his style! Koi is estimated to be 1.5 years old and weighs 33 lbs. We suspect he's a mini Boxer or English Bulldog mix, with a big personality to match. Koi enjoys adventure and is an eager explorer with basic leash skills that will polish with practice and gentle guidance. He checks in often and is happy to meet your expectations.
Ideal Home
Koi's ideal home will provide an outlet for his energy through walks, playdates, or backyard fun. He's looking for 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, making him perfect 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. Koi does jump up gently to give hugs, so a family with slightly older children who can handle his excitement would be perfect. He would also be perfectly content as your one and only furry companion.
Ongoing Health
No specific ongoing health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Koi is social and playful with other dogs. He is polite during on-leash introductions, though a bit of excitement can sneak in. He thrives with playmates who have a similar energy level and playstyle. He can sometimes pester dogs in an "annoying younger sibling" way, so a dog with a similar "baby bull" playstyle would be a great match.
