About Little John
Introducing Little John, a lovable Kelpie mix with a heart of gold and a spirit that shines bright despite his rough start in life. Despite his petite size, Little John's personality is anything but small—he's bursting with happiness and affection, ready to steal your heart with his charming demeanor.
This pint-sized pup may still have a bit of growing to do, but his joyful outlook on life is already fully developed. Whether he's lounging in his pen or cuddled up in your lap, Little John's relaxed nature and affectionate personality make him an instant favorite among shelter visitors.
While he may have arrived at the shelter a bit underweight, Little John is on the mend and quickly gaining the healthy weight he deserves. His resilient spirit and positive attitude are truly admirable, and he's eager to find a forever home where he can continue to thrive.
Little John's friendly disposition extends to his interactions with other dogs, as he enjoys romping and playing with his canine companions. While he may take a moment to warm up to higher-energy pups, Little John is happiest engaging in mutual play sessions where he can run, chase, and enjoy a light wrestle with his furry friends.
To ensure Little John's safety and security, he will require secure six-foot fencing and at least one daily walk to help burn off his youthful energy. With his adorable appearance and endearing personality, Little John is sure to capture the hearts of all who meet him. If you're ready to welcome a bundle of joy into your home, consider making Little John a cherished member of your family—he's waiting to bring endless love and happiness into your life.
