Meet Kevin

Location: VA. Meet Kevin – A Gentle Soul Looking for a Special Home  Kevin is an approximate 4-year-old, 40lb, sweetheart with the most soulful eyes and a heart full of love. He’s a loyal, sensitive boy who just wants to feel safe and cherished. While Kevin has made great strides, he can still be nervous in new situations and needs a home that understands the needs of shy or anxious dogs. Kevin is dog-selective—he gets along with some dogs, but not all—so he'd do best as the only dog in the home or with very slow, careful introductions to the right canine companion. Kevin thrives in a calm, structured environment with patient people who can help build his confidence at his own pace. Once he trusts you, he’s affectionate, goofy, and always close by—and he just might be the best cuddler you’ll ever meet. Whether it’s curling up next to you on the couch or tucking in for the night, Kevin knows how to snuggle like a pro. Kevin is high energy but aims to please! He loves playing with his humans and his ball but also likes quiet dinners out with his family at their favorite dog-friendly restaurant! Though Kevin is dog-selective, he behaves well in public and walks very well on the leash.  Kevin’s perfect match: An experienced, adult-only home (or older teens), no cats, and a quiet setting where he can truly relax. A fenced yard would be a bonus! Kevin is up to date on all vaccinations and preventatives; he is housebroken but does occasionally mark from anxiety.  Kevin has so much love to give—he just needs someone who understands that trust takes time. If you're ready to open your heart and your couch to a truly special dog, Kevin is waiting for you.  If you have any questions please email [email protected].  Complete an Application: https://www.acdra.org/adoption-application
