Staff at the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society have said Kayden is one of the most polite dogs you'll ever meet. He responds to commands, remains calm around other dogs, and works through distractions. Kayden also just passed his Canine Good Citizen test. He's the complete opposite of a bad dog!

Such a nice looking pup, look at that face!

Kayden is currently with the Paroled Pups program, going through additional training.
