**This dog is in boarding in Saint Catherine, and badly needs a home! Apply to adopt at lastminutedogrescue.comKenji was a stray when he was picked up by animal control and taken to a high-kill shelter. Hes been learning to trust people and is doing amazing! It took the kennel staff where he was staying several weeks to convince him he was among friends, but once he realized he really was safe, his beautiful, bubbly nature came shining through. He loves people he knows and once he warms up to you, he will never forget your face! Throw a ball for him or let him grab the mitten off your hand for a game of keep-away, and you've got a friend for life. Kenji is still afraid of strangers, especially men. His character in the absence of his triggers is gentle and loving to the core, but if he thinks someone is a threat, he'll lunge and bark aggressively. He really and truly just needs time to get to know new people before he will accept them -- he hasn't met anyone yet who he didn't warm up to after a few happy meetings. He would do best with women, but a patient man with a soft approach could definitely work his way into Kenji's inner circle. We've watched Kenji open up from his feral state and bloom into one of the most joyful beings we've ever known, so we have total confidence in his potential to be the Bestest Boy for someone really special.He will need support and training to work on his fear of strangers, but his companionship and affection are worth the investment. Kenji has been waiting a long time to belong to someone and he's really, really ready to go home now.
