PENTICTON – Keeno, animal identification number 424981, is classified as a hidden gem and the employee pick for the South Okanagan/Similkameen Branch of the B.C. SPCA.

He is a seven-year-old Pit Bull Terrier that is sweet and excitable, according to the SPCA animal profile.

Keeno loves people and gets very excited because he wants to say hi to everyone he meets.

He is looking for a stable home where he will have lots of play time, however, he likes to nap and snuggle just as much. Keeno can not live with cats or small dogs because he thinks they are so much fun and wants to chase them.

He is handsome but doesn't know his own strength and may knock over an elderly person or child in his exuberance.

If Keeno seems like the right fit for your lifestyle and family you can inquire with staff to find out more about this lovely boy. You can come by the shelter 2200 Dartmouth Drive, call 250-493-0136 or send an adoption application to penticton@spca.bc.ca. For more information, visit the web page.
