Kenny is a senior dog that we took last year after he was seized by animal control in a dog-fighting raid. Never had I met such a broken, defeated and shut down dog before I met Kenny. We will never know how long he lived in that horrific environment, it's possible he was there all of his life. At 10-12 years old, Kenny bore many emotional and physical scars from years of abuse. I don't know how anyone could do this to such a kind dog, but Kenny has the most amazing spirit. We have never seen even a hint of aggression from him, Kenny was never a fighter by choice. It was something that was forced on him, or perhaps he was bait, we'll never know that either. What I can say is that Kenny's progress has been very inspirational to me and all of us here. We sent him to training to help him adjust to a "normal" life. A life where he doesn't have to live in fear everyday, where he can enjoy the company of other dogs and most important of all, not live shackled like a prisoner on a chain. His foster mom has continued to help Kenny let go of his painful past and he slowly has started to show us his personality. He loves other dogs, despite everything, and he always enjoys his Mellow Mushroom pizza crusts at adoption events. The days he spent too uncomfortable to take treats from people are far behind him :)  It's time for Kenny to spread his paws and fly. It's time for him to have a home of his own to live his golden years in comfort, feeling the love of a family. If anyone is looking for a laid back companion, Kenny is your guy. Trust me when I say that he will be forever grateful for your friendship.
