Keanu

Meet Keanu

Keanu is a laid back 10 week old terrier mix that currently weighs 10 pounds. He is expected to be around 40 pounds full grown. He is an absolute sweetheart that is gentle and lovable. He is more reserved than his siblings when he is meeting new people, but it doesn't take long for this sweet boy to be in your lap cuddling or bringing you toys to play with. He loves his stuffed animals and play time with his puppy friends. He is very observant and loves to relax and take in his surroundings when he is outside in the backyard. He pretends to be shy, but don't let that fool you - this sweet boy loves human attention. Once you start scratching on his ears or rubbing his belly, he is happier than ever. He loves to be cuddled, held, and pet on. His ideal family would be laid back and low energy, and who will continue working with him to improve his confidence with short walks around the neighborhood and outings with the family.

Keanu is lower energy than his siblings, and he will require some daily exercise such as playtime in the backyard, with toys inside, or walks around the neighborhood. He is very laid back and really enjoys just hanging out with his human, so if you enjoy sitting on the porch in the mornings and enjoying a cup of coffee, Keanu will be happy to join you as he watches the birds and squirrels. He is a quieter pup who can easily entertain himself with his favorite toy or chew bone. He is always up for a nice nap after he's done playing as well. He especially loves nice comfy beds with a couple of soft blankets but would also love nothing more than to snuggle in your arms. He enjoys his human companions very much and loves to be held in your lap.

Keanu is dog, cat, and kid friendly. He is overall friendly guy who gets along well with other dogs and even cats once he has some time to gain the confidence to go up and say hello to them. He would do well with having a confident furry companion in the home that he can learn from and play with. He loves to interact with the foster family's dogs. He loves them all, both big and small. He even loves the dog-friendly cat in the home and is very gentle with the cats in general. Because of his laid back, calm energy, we know this fun pup would be a great fit for a family with children of all ages, and he would love to have some kids in his forever home to cuddle and love on.

Keanu is kennel and playpen trained. He is potty pad trained and is doing great with learning his potty schedule now that he has transitioned to going outside. He will need to have a structured schedule in his forever home to help him continue to excel in him outside potty training. He will still need work on leash training once he goes to his forever home. He would love to have a family that is laid back and enjoys leisurely activities like walks in the neighborhood or just hanging out in the backyard watching the sunset. His ideal home environment would be a house with a fenced in backyard that he can run around and play in. He would do well in an apartment, townhouse or condo as long as he gets a couple of walks or exercise sessions each day as he grows. He would not do well with crowded dog parks, so we do not recommend taking him to a dog park, but instead take him on short walks for potty breaks and longer walks for exercise.

If you are interested in adopting Keanu, please fill out an application.

Keanu is in a foster home in South Texas and will be transported once adopted. He cannot be adopted in Canada at this time due to his age. He will have a $200 REFUNDABLE neuter deposit on top of his adoption and transport fee that will be either paid directly to your vet at the time of his procedure or refunded back to you once the procedure is complete.

TRANSPORT: Currently we have monthly transports. It will be up to the adoptive family to meet the transport to pick up your new family member. Please be advised that our dogs are adopted to their forever families prior to being transported. Unfortunately at this time, we cannot bring dogs for a typical meet and greet situation, due to the extensiveness of the transport distance and it being unfair for the dogs who are not adopted to have to make the trip back.

Please be advised that applications are reviewed in the order that they are received. To ensure we are honoring the dogs that we have committed to helping, we do have policies and procedures in place that we follow when reviewing adoption applications. LAPP Dog Rescue is ran 100% by volunteers, so please be mindful that when you submit an application that it can take a few days to be reviewed. Submitting an application is not a confirmation that the adoption will be approved/completed. Before submitting the application, please read the FULL description describing the dog's personality, energy level, housing requirements and our policy on meet and greets.

The total cost to adopt is $830, which includes a $400 adoption fee, a $230 transport fee, and a $200 REFUNDABLE neuter deposit. The adoption fee includes all age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, dewormer, and health certificate from a licensed veterinarian.
