Khushi, a Hindi word for "happiness," perfectly embodies the joy this little guy brings to those who know him.
Khushi came from the Alabama Hurricanes in a poor state. With dedicated training, he has blossomed into a well-behaved and loving boy, always eliciting "oooos" and "awwws" wherever he goes. He is a low energy couch potato, gentle with cats, adores dogs, and remains quiet in apartment living. Incredibly motivated to please his humans, he quickly learns tricks and commands within 3-4 repetitions. While initially shy, he forms lasting bonds and greets familiar faces like cherished celebrities. Morning snuggles, hugs, and belly rubs are non-negotiable for him. Khushi's anxiety is triggered by unpredictable city sounds and is managed with fluoxetine. Aside from that, he's in perfect health and up to date on vaccinations.
An ideal match would be with experienced dog owners in a quieter neighborhood with a well-behaved brother or sister ready to make him a part of their pack, because he is most confident and secure when the dogs around him are. He would thrive with someone who has a yard or access to a quieter park; he is so happy when he can sprint one or two laps at full speed on grass (and then go straight to bed for a nap). No small kids (so, not a good fit for folks family planning/expecting grandchildren), as he can be fear-reactive to them.
This little guy seriously has a heart full of love and adoration for his people, and he deserves nothing but the absolute best.
