Description
Kenji is one of those dogs who quietly steal your heartāand then stay there.
Born in March 2022, he is gentle, loving, and emotionally intelligent: a dog with a soul as soft as the look in his eyes.
Kenji arrived at a kill shelter together with his sister Yumi. Their future was heartbreakingly uncertain, until they were rescued just in time and brought to safety in a private shelter. And that is where Kenji truly showed who he is.
After their rescue, Kenji and Yumi were placed separately. Kenji was introduced to a mother dog and her puppiesādogs who desperately needed calm, reassurance, and emotional support. Without hesitation, Kenji stepped into that role. Naturally and instinctively, he became their quiet guardian: gentle, steady, endlessly patient. He comforted the mother with such tenderness and treated her puppies with infinite kindness.
What a boy.
What a heart. š¤
Kenji is wonderfully social and gets along beautifully with all dogs. Ever the gentleman, he has a particular soft spot for the ladies. He moves calmly and respectfully within a group, always seeking harmony and peace.
And nowāafter giving so much of himself to othersāit is finally Kenjiās turn.
His turn to be chosen.
His turn to be cherished.
His turn to receive the love he gives so freely.
š Size:
Kenji is a small-to-medium dog, with an estimated shoulder height of 38ā40 cm. He can look larger in photos, but in reality he is compact, perfectly proportioned, and very easy to live with.
āļø A little note:
At the moment, Kenji is carrying a few extra kilos. Sadly, life in a kennel means limited movement, and he hasnāt had the chance to exercise as he should. The good news? This will melt away quickly once heās in a home with regular walks, freedom, and normal daily activityāno doubt about it.
š¾ Appearance & possible mix:
Kenji has a warm reddish-brown coat, a sturdy yet elegant build, and the softest, most expressive eyes. Based on his looks, we believe he may be a Welsh Corgi Ć Shiba Inu mix, possibly with a hint of Chow Chow, visible in the gentle curl of his tail and the characteristic tongue colour. Like so many rescue dogs, his exact mix remains a mysteryābut whatever it is, Kenji is simply beautiful, inside and out.
⨠Personality:
Kenji has a pure, kind, and deeply caring nature. He is:
Exceptionally gentle and emotionally sensitive
Social and peaceful with all dogs
Loving without ever being demanding
Kenji never pushes himself forward. He waits quietly, patiently, offering his heart to the person who is ready to receive it.
š³ What kind of home does Kenji need?
Kenji would thrive in a calm, loving home where kindness, routine, and emotional connection matter. He would be happy as an only dog or sharing his life with a friendly canine companion. A secure garden would be lovely, but more than anything, Kenji needs a home where he is finally the one being seen, cared for, and truly loved.
š« Meaning of his name:
Kenji is a Japanese name associated with strength, intelligence, and kindnessāan absolutely perfect reflection of the gentle soul he carries.
