Terriers are known for their spunky personalities, sharp intelligence, and lively, curious nature. They’re often bold, affectionate, and full of character—small to medium dogs with big attitudes and even bigger hearts. Terriers love mental stimulation, playtime, and being part of the action, and they tend to bond closely with their people. An ideal home for a terrier is one that offers structure, engagement, and plenty of companionship. They thrive with families who enjoy interactive play, regular walks, and positive training. Whether in an apartment or a house, terriers do best in homes where they can stay active, feel included, and have their bright little minds kept busy. What to Love about Kristoff: Kristoff is making wonderful progress with his potty training and is already crate trained, though he’s so respectful in the house that he often doesn’t need one. He’s incredibly affectionate and adores being the center of attention—he’ll happily soak up every bit of love you offer! He currently lives with three dogs, two adults, and an infant, and he’s been gentle, patient, and sweet with everyone. He especially loves kids and would be thrilled to have little playmates in his forever home. He’d do great as an only dog or with doggie siblings—he’s easygoing either way! Kristoff tends to be a bit of a “guy’s guy,” often bonding quickly with men, but he truly loves everyone he meets. This boy has a wonderful balance of energy and chill. He loves walks, exploring the yard, and running around outside, but he’s just as happy curling up beside you for a cozy lounge session. He’s great on a leash and would be a fantastic match for first‑time dog owners or experienced ones alike! Kristoff is the kind of dog who fits into almost any home—young families, retirees, singles, or couples. All he needs is consistency with potty breaks, some outdoor time (a fenced yard is a bonus but not required), and a family who will adore him as much as he adores them. Kristoff’s Highlights: 5‑year‑old, 13 lb Terrier mix with a sweet, affectionate personality Crate trained and making great progress with potty training Loves kids and is gentle with infants — an amazing family dog Gets along well with dogs of all sizes; can be solo or have doggie siblings Energetic and playful, but also a wonderful lounging buddy Great on a leash and loves walks, exploring, and outdoor time Very loving, cuddly, and attention‑seeking — a true companion dog Ideal for first‑time or experienced owners, young families or seniors Respectful in the home and can be left uncrated Full of love and ready to be someone’s loyal best friend Kristoff is full of love, full of life, and ready to bring joy, companionship, and endless sweetness to his forever family!
