Kenny is Seeking Forever Love

By contributor,
4 February, 2015

Kenny is a very sweet boy with a great personality! He loves going out for long walks and going exploring with his human pals. He's also quite the cuddler! He's enrolled in obedience classes and is a very smart cookie. He'll thrive in an active home with an experienced dog owner with adults only, or with older, respectful teens and should be a solo pet. This handsome four year old hound hasn't had it easy, but he's a delightful young dog who needs a second chance at happiness.
