Notes from A Doggie 4 You

Meet Christian – Playful, Sweet, and Ready for His First Real Home!

Currently in Texas | Transport Available Born: ~May 2022 | ⚖️ Weight: 39.4 lbs Adoption Fee: $200 Apply: www.adoggie4you.org

Christian's story is one of resilience, love, and second chances. Born under the porch of a condemned house, Christian and his family were abandoned when their owners moved away. Left to survive on their own, this brave boy was eventually rescued by a team of determined trappers who spent over two weeks bringing his whole family to safety.

Despite his rough start, Christian is full of joy. He’s a lovable pup who adores treats, toys, and pets, and has a special bond with his doggie friends. He’s also known for playing goofy games with the kennel staff—his silly side shines when he feels safe!

Christian has never had a home of his own, but he’s more than ready for one. He’s playful, affectionate, and would thrive with a family that can offer him patience, love, and a yard to explore.
