About ketem

Ketem is a charismatic boy with two distinct moods that keep life interesting. One moment he's calm and cuddly, the next he's hyper and excited, bringing dynamic energy to every day. Previously adopted for many years but returned due to his mouthy nature, Ketem is looking for a family who appreciates his unique personality and communication style.

Ketem has amazing house manners and takes pride in being clean, never messing up his dog bed. He's also a great passenger in the car, making him an excellent adventure companion. He's undergone a remarkable transformation over the past few years, especially regarding his reactivity toward other dogs. While he was once highly reactive, dedicated work has helped him make significant progress, and he could potentially live with another dog given the right introduction and slow integration process.

Treats and stuffed toys are Ketem's secret for staying engaged and focused during walks. He would thrive in a quiet neighborhood where he can have space from other dogs while continuing to build his confidence. His ideal home would be with teens or adults, as he doesn't appreciate the high energy of small children running around his bed or near his toys.

Ketem is wonderfully friendly with all people and absolutely loves when volunteers visit his room to give him treats and brush him out. He's looking for a family who understands that his mouthy nature is simply his way of communicating and who can provide the structure and patience he needs to continue his impressive progress. With the right adopter, Ketem will bring years of love, entertainment, and devoted companionship.
