A volunteer writes: Get your wiggle on! This little guy knows how to shake his booty, and shake it he does! Look up wiggle butt in the dictionary and the definition is Kenzo! He loves meeting new people, never stops wagging his tail, his eyes twinkle with the fun of it all, he play bows to a dog in an adjoining pen, and in his first playgroup with a female, is social, playful and bouncy. He probably wiggled, too, but there’s only so much room to type on the form :). Kenzo sits when asked, side saddle–which always pings my heart–takes treats gently, and oh so politely spits it out when he decides he doesn’t like it. Draping himself in my lap for some kisses, this little guy is a nonstop love machine in a very polite way. Not overbearing, or puppy silly, he’s mature for his age, and he can’t help it that he loves everyone. What a fabulous trait! And the fact that he’s so handsome is simply an added bonus. Come meet our adorable booty wiggler today and make him yours. Get your wiggle on!

A volunteer updates: It’s been a few days since Kenzo and I have been together and I’m happy to report he hasn’t lost his wiggle! So excited to meet new people, be out for a walk, make new friends of both two and four legged variety, he just knows you’re special and wants to meet you. Kenzo is a helper dog in ACC playgroups, so he’s just a rockstar all around. Kenzo was with a friend of the former owner for a day or two, and we’re told he ignored the resident cat, is friendly and outgoing to all, is “very housetrained:, is well behaved when home alone and the list of positive attributes goes on and on. He’s adored by all, his sweet personality is winning hearts and accolades from staff… he’s compact, adorable, fun, and friendly, smart and ready to rock your world. Don’t pass him by!
