BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. — A shy but sweet puppy is looking for a new home in South Florida.
Kendra, an 8-month-old dog, is the latest featured pet from the Humane Society of Broward County. Shelter staff say she recently arrived from a partner rescue in Puerto Rico and has been adjusting to her new surroundings over the past two weeks.
Kendra is still a bit timid, but she’s beginning to open up. Staff say she did well during a recent car ride and has been friendly with people she meets, making her way around to greet visitors.
Because of her background, Kendra may do best in a home with another dog. Matthew from the Humane Society says dogs from the islands are often well-socialized with other animals, and having a companion could help her feel more comfortable and settle in faster. Another dog could also help guide her through basic training.
The shelter is open seven days a week, starting at 11 a.m., with animal visits available until late afternoon. Anyone interested in adopting Kendra -- or meeting other available pets including cats, rabbits and guinea pigs -- can visit in person or apply online.
