His soulful, golden eyes look into you the second you meet. You can tell Kai is more interested in establishing a connection with you than anything else. Our staff feel terrible whenever they have to place Kai back in his shelter kennel; he gets so lonely inside of it.More than anything, Kai wants to be in the company of humans, and he’ll make quite a fuss to let everyone know he’s unhappy. That’s why Kai is usually the dog you’ll first meet when you come to the shelter these days. Our staff place him in the lobby, where Kai becomes an entirely different dog as long as a human is in his line of sight. As calm as can be, he’ll curl up in a nearby bed (or chair!) and take a nap.
Kai is happiest on a high perch—he enjoys watching the coming and goings from the highest spot in the room, be it a file cabinet, box or desk. When HSKC staff members take Kai out to the play yard to throw a ball around, he doesn’t chase it, preferring instead to sit next against someone and kiss their hands. Companionship and affection mean much more to Kai than play time.
This good-natured Staffordshire Terrier mix was surrendered by his former owners who could no longer care for him. Having come into the shelter housebroken, the HSKC staff members know how smart he is. Kai would thrive in a home surrounded by people who are around most of the time.
Day after day, Kai sits and waits and hopes his forever family appears at the shelter soon, so he doesn’t have to go through another night in the kennel by himself. Stop in and share a few moments with Kai at the shelter soon—it will surely brighten your day!
