What I'm like
John is an energetic, curious boy who loves running, following new scents and playing in water. He is always ready for a walk, a beach trip or a new outdoor adventure with his favourite people. He would thrive with an active family that can give him regular exercise, guidance and plenty of experiences to share.
My story
“Hi, I'm John!
I was rescued from a mountain trail lined with wire snares when I was just one month old. Since then, I've grown up surrounded by kind people at StrayKind.
As I got older, I discovered just how much I love exploring the world. New scents to sniff, grassy paths to run along and new places to discover always make me happy. But my favourite adventures happen in the summer, when the volunteers take us to the beach. Splashing through the waves, feeling the sea breeze and racing along the shoreline are some of my happiest moments.
Sometimes I find myself wondering what life in a home might be like. Would we go for walks together every day? Visit the park, head to the beach or set off on little weekend adventures? Would someone remember how much I love the water and be just as excited as I am to discover new places?
If you love the outdoors and enjoy exploring life, I'd love to be your adventure buddy. For me, the best journeys aren't about where we go. They're about having you by my side every step of the way.”
