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 wherever he goes. He thinks 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, 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. Koi enjoys adventure and is an eager explorer who has 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's ideal home will give him an outlet for his energy through walks, playdates, or backyard fun. He needs people who don't mind his occasional joyful jumps or sneaky smooches. He's a small package with a big-dog heart and a contagious joy for life. He is friendly, outgoing, and 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 children who can handle his excitement would be perfect.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the description.
Training & Support
Koi is polite during on-leash introductions with other dogs, though his friendly enthusiasm can sometimes be a bit much for dogs who don't share his playful energy. He 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 "baby bull" playstyle. However, he would also be perfectly content being your one and only!
