Kenai is our very best friend and we are looking for a good home for him. He is loyal, sweet, cuddly and hilarious. His favorite place to be is snuggled between his people (best paired with a heated blanket). He loves to go for car rides, chew on bully sticks and be included in whatever task you are doing. Kenai is always at your side ready for a good head scratch. Unfortunately, he does not do well with other pets and children, so we need to find him a new home.
