  — Kathleen S.

• “Kevin a fun, loving, sweet, affectionate. And energetic guy that LOVES to play and meet new dogs (and cats too!). He can be a little shy around new people at first. He’s a rescue pup and was originally part of a pack of 12 dogs. Which helps him get along with practically every other dog he’s ever met. He does love to play and he plays rough and loud.“

  — Courtney T.

• “Young at heart, Kevin turned 12 this year! He is a friendly guy, but nervous with large dogs. Does best around 30lbs and under.“

  — Jasmine H.

• “My name is Kevin and I love to play! I can get rough but it is all in good fun. I especially like big dogs like me. I don’t bark or bite.“

  — Allison A.

• “I am the youngest of our family and the most gentle giant you could ever meet. I love exploring new places and sniffing all the new smells. I love getting the zoomies but im not interested in playing fetch or games.“

  — Alysha M.

• “I am a rascal and a half. I like to steal stuff and run so mommy chases me. I love my auntie Grace so much, and I irritate her by making her play with me all the time. And I love all people, but meeting other dogs makes me nervous and I’m not very nice.“

  — Margaret W.

• “Kevin came from New Orleans; my daughter got him from a rescue group. After she moved back to Oregon, she wasn't able to keep him so I took him in. He has a dark past of some sort since he is extra-sensitive to loud voices, seems fearful of being hit or yelled at, etc. Still a work in progress although very loving, seeks attention & pets.“

  — Natalie H.

• “My name is Kevin and I have cerebellar hypoplasia. I fall, A LOT! I have taken out cabinets, fence sections, doors, you name it and I have run into it! But I am good with it! I am so happy and my tail is always wagging. I am a great listener but cannot do many tricks because of my disability. But I am a people pleaser through and through! Everybody loves to meet me! I was in a kill shelter in Quebec when I was rescued. I found up at Perfect Imperfections in Connecticut where a women with a heart of gold takes in many dogs with disabilities. Mom was looking for a dog after losing another. Since she was looking at possibly a Great Dane, and I am a Great Dane mix, she came across my video. It made her both laugh and cry. When she came to visit me, the house was a little chaotic, and I was a little insecure. She swooped me out of there. She even took the brother I made while I was there!!!“

  — Jessica R.

  — Amy P.

• “Hey guys, I’m Kevin! I’m a young boy, I just turned one year old in September but my humans say I’m still going to be even bigger. I was rescued by these nice ladies with my three brothers just before Christmas so apparently that’s how I got my name because I’m Kevin from some movie called Home Alone!“

  — Chloe L.

  — Rhiannon C.

• “I like to roam around and pretend I’m wild, even though I quite enjoy the comforts of home. I look forward to finding new smells and tiring myself out with my mom!“

  — Lisa W.

• “Kevin is a special boy, he is very loving and playful! He likes to mouth open greet humans, he does not bite or nip! Just loves having his mouth open around your hand or arm lol He loves to play fetch if his brother and sister allow him to, hes low man in the pecking order of our pack! But he sure is just a happy camper“
