Who doesn't love free fluffing? I like to play with tennis balls, bones, kongs, squeaky toys and rope toys! Anyways, I know how to sit, leave it, off and come, but I can pull quite hard on the leash so a fenced in yard would be recommended for me unless you're up for some leash training!

15. Kilo

Adult · Male · American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed · 57 mi from Kokomo

Hi there! I'm Kilo and I am 5 years old. I am a good boy that was recently surrendered to the shelter due to no fault of my own. My mom loved me very, very much and giving up my fur sister and I was very hard on her. She gave the shelter all kinds of information on me, so lets talk about it! I have successfully lived with Maelin (my fur sister who is also available for adoption), cats and kittens and an infant and I have done amazing with them. I cuddle with all of them! I am a good boy that listens very well and I know how to sit, stay, come and shake. I am loyal and protective and sometimes that means that I am weary of strange men.

Read more about Kilo

I can be a little shy when meeting new people, but throw a ball for me and I'll warm right up! I am housetrained and I ring the potty bells when I have to go potty! I was not crated when my mom left the house, and I did very well left alone by myself. I love toys of all kinds: balls, squeaky toys, stuffed toys and even a basketball that I deflated and love to carry around like its my personal emotional support friend. I may pull on the leash a bit so keep a tight hold on me for walks because I do have a prey drive for little critters, including cats, that are not my friends. For my future owner, I do not enjoy the vet or my nails being trimmed, so I am used to taking trazadone and sedatives for my anxiety when it comes to medical things; this is an extra expense whenever it is vet time so please keep that in mind! I am used to eating Iams large breed dog food (chicken and whole grain) and have done very well on that brand! If you have read this far and are looking for a cuddle bug to lay under the blankets with you, cuddle in bed and greet you warmly when you come home, I am the perfect guy for you!Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at info@awlwarsaw.com if you have any questions about me!

I don't like going back in my kennel because I would really just love to stay with my people. In a home I should be crate trained to keep me safe while you are away but I will need lots of positive reinforcement and to learn that you will come back and I will get to go out again! I want to be good but all this energy keeps me moving. I was in a home with young children and was good with them but anyone considering taking me home should know I may knock little ones over when I get to running through the house.

Here at the shelter I ignored the cats but have also barked at them. I have never tried to chase them but being part husky there is a good chance that I would like to play a game of catch the cat! Caution should be used if bringing me into a home with cats to make sure I get along with them! I tend to be to much for most dogs and have a very dominant personality.

Adopting a large dog in Kokomo

Large dogs need room to stretch out and plenty of exercise: at least one good walk a day, and a secure yard is a bonus. Check your lease too, as some landlords limit the size or breed of dog.

Start training from day one. A big dog who walks nicely on a leash and doesn't jump up is a pleasure to live with, and many rescues can recommend a local trainer.
