Be Kovu's forever home
Kovu is a sweet, lovable baby. He loves to snuggle up on the couch or in bed with you. He's a chill and laid back dude. Kovu loves fetch, tug and rolling around in the grass. He loves walks at the park. Kovu loves to cuddle up in a blanket or on a bed. He's fully house broken and crate trained. He will go out for potty breaks and play with you any time! Kovu is good with people and children, but he needs to be in a single dog home as he does not get along with other dogs. He also can't live with cats or other small animals. He's house broken and knows basic commands like sit, lay down, shake. He's crate trained. He needs help with some anxiety and impulse control. Neutered and up to date on shots.
