: Our FFF pet is Kernal! Kernal is a bully mix, but he's so sleek and slender he looks a little like a small greyhound! He is such a gentle, loving soul that he is STRESSED OUT at the shelter and needs to find a home as soon as possible. He just spent the long weekend in a foster home where he took two days to fully decompress and then was ready to come out and be part of the family, which included two other young male dogs. He has been in playgroups at the shelter and can be a little pushy with other dogs but is easily corrected. He is the definition of a velcro dog - he wants to be with his people all the time, but can also just hang on his own in his crate. He seems to not care about cats at all, but we always recommend a slow introduction. He is also terrific with kids, but again, we always recommend respectful children. He is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative and microchipped. His adoption fee is sponsored as he needs to find a great home quickly. Come and scoop up this best boy today! Contact Berrien County Animal Control at 1400 S. Euclid in Benton Harbor, 269-927-5648, to learn even more about Kernal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
