He was recently neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. A volunteer told us 'when we came to the kennel door he was the sweetest little angel , so gentle and calm '. However, because he has been growling at times, likely out of fear and trust, and or just not feeling well, a chow savvy home is requested. Kaval was also noted as having bloody diarrhea shortly after coming in, which has since resolved with medicine. While he is adoptable, due to his behavior with people, the shelter has now put him on the euthanasia list and needs out asap. Shelter notice just emailed state.
