Kuddles
Kuddles the Kind-Hearted Clown is Ready for Her Happy Ever After
Kuddles is a 6-year-old Boxer cross who came to us from a breeder, and while she may look a little older, she’s proving there’s still plenty of sparkle in her step. This sweet girl had never lived in a home before arriving at Many Tears, so everything about life outside kennels was brand new to her. With each passing day in foster care, Kuddles is learning, growing, and showing more of her wonderfully quirky personality.
When she first arrived, Kuddles was scared, unsure, and overwhelmed by the noise and confusion of kennel life. But slowly, with the help of her foster family and the companionship of her doggy friends, she’s begun to open up. Now, Kuddles enjoys gentle fuss, loves a soft towel rub, and even gets cheeky, trotting off with her foster mum’s shoes (though never chewing them!). She’s discovering what it means to be safe, loved, and a little bit silly.
Kuddles sleeps soundly through the night, is fully house trained, and has a good recall in secure fields. She’s gaining confidence on the lead and is happy to walk with another dog, or on her own with a bit of encouragement. She’s still startled by some things, like sudden noises or gates, but recovers quickly and continues to make progress each week.
Kuddles is looking for a calm, understanding adult-only home with at least one kind, confident male dog to be her friend and guide. She’s not comfortable around female dogs, so her canine companions will need to be boys. She can be left for a few hours with a doggy friend and will patiently wait by the window for your return. She has now met a cat and was fine with her, so could be homed with dog savvy cats.
She has been treated for a sore, ulcerated ear canal, which has now healed well, but this would likely be considered a pre-existing condition by most pet insurance providers. While she may have the face of a wise old soul, she still plays, runs, and follows the fun, especially when one of her foster siblings leads the way.
Kuddles has come such a long way, from a shut-down, frightened girl to a curious, cheeky companion who is finally discovering the joy of life. She’s still on her journey, but with the right home, she will blossom into the most loyal and loving friend you could wish for.
If you’ve got room in your heart for a gentle, funny, deeply deserving girl who just needs time, kindness, and a canine pal to help her feel safe, please consider giving Kuddles the forever home she’s been waiting for.
She really is one of a kind.
To help Kuddles find her perfect forever home, we will waive her adoption fee and so she is available for adoption by a donation fee of your choosing.
