My story

This absolutely gorgeous, brilliant, devoted wonderful boy is Kairo! He came into the pound when a person found him roaming through the neighborhood. He called him over and sweet Kairo came trotting over, happy to make a friend. The gentleman’s heart broke for this guy as he was so skinny and you could tell either homeless or poorly cared for. Animal control came to get him and this guy loaded right up, friendly and grateful to everyone from day one. He did great with everyone at the pound and thankfully a fabulous couple agreed to take this sweet guy in and give him lots of love until he finds his forever home! Kairo is about 2-3 years old, and currently weighs 54 lbs. he’s gained weight nicely and may gain a couple more pounds as he’s now getting great nutrition and care! He’s been to the vets and now had all medical work completed! He’s now current on vaccines, deworming, microchipping, heartworm test, preventative, and he’s been neutered! This amazing guy is officially ready for adoption! Upon entering foster care everyone really fell for what a wonderfully good boy he is. He’s extremely intelligent and always wants to do the right thing. He’s been fantastic reliably going potty outside, he’s great on leash, and he loves to go for rides in the car! His favorite things are activities with his favorite people, and he looooves to run and play hard with his foster sister (also available for adoption!) name Makayla! He would do great with an active female dog to exercise, race, play with and snuggle! That said he’s a confident guy and doesn’t need another dog in the household. This guy is a higher energy/active guy! As you’d expect from his breed, he’s brilliant and loves to stay active. Whether it’s hiking, racing around with his dog friends, going on adventures with you, or playing incredible games of fetch, this guy loves an active lifestyle and it’s truly wonderful to have the companionship of such an incredibly intelligent, loyal, devoted dog. He is a confident, courageous pup, who has been social and fabulous. He is super eager to please and is longing for the deep relationship that shepherds are known for. This guy will thrive in a home where he has room to play and with parents who are longing for a truly devoted, intelligent, incredible companion to have by their side for many years to come! He has such a heart of gold, and he’s surely sad to not have the deep bond that he lives for. If you’d love to make his dreams of a bright future come true, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org and submit an application for adoption today!!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Brilliant Kairo, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
