Kenai

Fill out an adoption form

Sweet Kenai and her brother Kobuk were born while in foster care - their mom had been surrendered to CT Humane about to give birth and we found a wonderful foster family to take mom Harley in right before giving birth.

Kenai is a curious and very smart girl who’s already mastered sit. She would love a family who wants to keep working on her smarts and teach her all kinds of great things.

Kenai is a busy girl but not too busy to enjoy a cuddle in your lap. She is confident yet submissive to her adult furry foster siblings.

Ideal family for Kenai would be one who knows and loves the pitbull breed. Kenai would enjoy a family with kids over 5, another dog to play with or a family who wants an adventure buddy by day and cuddle buddy by night. Kenai is very sweet and loves to be with her people.

Kenai will be a pretty big girl and we expect her to weigh over 75 pounds when all grown up.

These puppies have been well cared for and kept with their mom, and socialized with humans and other dogs

ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS:  You must attend training/behavior classes with your new dog unless you are an experienced dog owner and your adoption coordinator is comfortable with your experience.  This requirement is for the benefit of you and your puppy, so if you experience behavior issues, you have a point of contact.  

PLEASE—Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours until he’s older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so important in this puppy’s life. Do you have the time?

Please consider purchasing this book before adopting.  Perfect Puppy in 7 Days - How to Start Your Puppy Off Right, Sophia Yin, DVM - it is an amazing book that we recommend very highly and have had amazing feedback on.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. Our dogs reside in various locations throughout the South and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
