Product placement

Fox Valley Humane Association: ACTS - it is the place where the dog is being adopted from. Removing it would change the context of the video. Wilsonhaus: APPEARS - it is a logo on the creator's hoodie. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

🐾 Meet Kade 🐾 If you've been following along for a while, you've probably seen me talk about Kade before. Every week when we visit the shelter, I make a point to stop and see him, and every week I wonder how he's still waiting. Kade is a 9-year-old mixed-breed boy who proves that age is truly just a number. Despite being considered a senior, he's playful, energetic, goofy, and always ready for an adventure. Honestly, one of my favorite things about Kade is that he looks like he was assembled from about 10 different dogs-and somehow it works perfectly. ✨ Age: 9 years old ✨ Size: Large breed ✨ Gender: Male ✨ Neutered ✨ Microchipped ✨ Fully vaccinated ✨ Playful, active, and full of personality Kade loves people and would thrive with someone looking for a fun companion to share walks, adventures, and lazy evenings at home. Because of his enthusiasm and bouncy personality, he would do best with older children. 🐾 Dog Friendly? Kade would prefer to be the only dog in the home. 🐾 Small Animals? Not recommended. 🐾 Couch Potato? This guy still has plenty of pep in his step. The thing that breaks my heart is that Kade is spending what should be some of his golden years in a shelter kennel instead of in a home. He has so much life, love, and character left to give. 📍 Kade is available for adoption through Fox Valley Humane Association in Appleton, Wisconsin. 📞 920-733-1717 📧 adopt@foxvalleypets.org You can also learn more about Kade and the adoption process directly through @Fox Valley Humane Association Let's help this incredible guy find the home he's been waiting for. ❤️

Transcript

Every week our rescue makes it a point to visit our local shelter to help walk dogs and hand out pup cups. And week after week, we see Kade. One of my favorite things about Kade besides the fact that he's available for adoption is the fact that he looks like he was glued together from about three different dogs. I don't know what breeds are in there, but whatever the recipe was, it worked. What Kade lacks in height, he more than makes up for in character. He's hilarious. At nine years old, Kade somehow missed the memo that he's supposed to be slowing down. I wouldn't describe him as clingy. In fact, Kade is actually a pretty independent guy. But once he gets to know you, you'll notice him gravitating towards you for a scratch behind the ears or a few pets. There's something really endearing about that. His affection feels earned. The truth is, every time I see a senior dog in shelter care, it hits me a little differently. And not because Kade is sad. He isn't. But because time is one of the things that none of us get more of. And with the years Kade has left, I can't help but think that they should be spent in a home. On a couch, exploring with his person. If you've been thinking about adding a dog to your family, maybe the dog you've been looking for is this funny little riding guy who's been patiently waiting for his turn. His name is Kade, and I think he's more than ready. He's hilarious. At nine years old, Kade somehow missed the memo that he's supposed to be slowing down. I wouldn't describe him as clingy.
