Keeno

"KEENO, a 6-yr-old, 60lb Pitbull mix, was rescued from death row at the New York City high-kill shelter where he was abandoned by his previous owners who 'didn't have time for him anymore.' KEENO is an affectionate, loving and highly intelligent dog. Understandably, KEENO has a history of mild separation anxiety but has improved after adjusting to the routine of his current foster. KEENO has a tendency to become overprotective of his primary caretaker, so a thoughtful introduction to new people or abrupt visitors must be done on a walk outside the home first, which will allow for a warm welcome once he quickly learns to trust them. KEENO would do best in a predictable routine in a low traffic, peaceful home with no kids. While KEENO is somewhat timid when adjusting to new situations/environments, he absolutely loves life and enjoys long exploratory walks and car rides. KEENO knows basic commands: 'Sit,' 'Speak,' 'Paw,' 'Touch,' 'Yes,' and 'Give Me Kiss'! Cuddly, lovable and bright, KEENO has no resource guarding and is house trained. KEENO is a medium to low energy couch potato at heart. KEENO has a tendency to chase cats and critters, however he likes other dogs, especially females, but would be best as the only dog or with a dog smaller/younger than him. KEENO is fully vetted, vaccinated, neutered, and heart-worm negative. KEENO longs for the forever home he has never known so we are urgently appealing for a rescue-oriented volunteer to adopt KEENO and become a part of this rescue dog's happily ever after, for which KEENO will repay you with loyal and loving companionship for the rest of his life.
