Meet Kernel, a 5-year-old terrier with a big personality who’s ready to command your heart! Don’t let his size fool you—Kernel likes to run the show, keeping the backyard secure and making sure everyone knows when someone is near. Though he has a bit of an aloof side, he enjoys being carried and will happily let you treat him like the little king he is.

Kernel’s dominant nature means he prefers to be the only dog in the house, and he’s not too keen on children—they might just cramp his style! If you’re looking for a loyal companion who loves to be in charge (like a true Colonel!), Kernel is ready to make your home his new headquarters.

Kernel is available to adopt in the Greater Los Angeles area.
