Khonshu: The ancient Egyptian God of the moon

Are you ready for a dog who's as playful as a puppy but as wise as an old soul? Well, look no further-meet Khonshu! This black-and-white ball of energy is equal parts silly and lovable, and he's searching for a home where he can be your one and only! And we do mean, one and only - he’s fiercely loyal to his human! Khonshu is a unique kind of pup, like a UNICORN, therefore he needs a unique UNICORN adopter that is willing to share and safely guide him thru life. Are you the UNICORN he’s been waiting for??

Khonshu is a quick learner-treats and affection are his secret motivation. He already knows sit, down, stay, place, roll, paw, and recall-pretty impressive, right?

He's crate-trained, house-trained and is so well-behaved when left alone. Seriously, he just quietly hangs out or naps like the well-mannered gentleman he is. No chewed shoes, no knocked-over trash cans, just a dog living his best life in a crate or lounging around, waiting for his next playtime!

Khonshu has a heart of gold. He's playful, loving, and just a little bit quirky. He's not the type to invade your space or demand constant attention, but when he's in the mood to play, His silliness is infectious, and we guarantee that no one will ever stop laughing at his antics.

What Khonshu truly needs help with the most, is building his confidence and helping him feel safe. His ideal home has a very tall secure fence, no other pets and with one or two humans he can pour all of his love into.

Could Khonshu Be Your New One True Love?

If you're looking for a fun, energetic, and ridiculously cute dog to keep you on your toes, Khonshu might just be your perfect match. He's got tons of love to give, fun energy and a knack for turning every day into a fun adventure. Come meet Khonshu today!

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
