Kilo entered RAGOM care in July. The surrendering family was moving and could not take him with them.
He was with a loving family who had him as a farm dog. He lived in a barn with another dog and cats. He was never in the house.
He is totally deaf, but his vision seems good. He is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations, and now has a RAGOM microchip.
His hips seem to hurt him some when he walks, but he does stairs fine and will occasionally run through the yard. There are no other known medical concerns.
He is getting used to inside living and has only had a few inside accidents, but none lately. He will bark randomly into the air (not sure what that's about), but stops when you approach him. He will do this sometimes in the middle of the night.
It is apparent that he was never on a leash and is learning how to do this. He gets easily distracted with smells and the excitement of being in a new place on a walk. He rides well in the car.
Kilo is a very happy old guy who lived his life completely outside and is now enjoying indoor living. He loves attention and will nudge into you frequently to get it. He wants a quiet house where he can sleep most of the day in the luxury of being in air conditioning and/or heat.
He loves food and will seek it out constantly, especially any kind of treat or any low-lying ripe tomatoes on your plants!
He does great with other dogs or cats, but would not mind being an only dog, as long as he gets plenty of your love. However, he would not like to be with a younger dog that wants to tear around and bug him; none of that nonsense!
Younger children may be bothersome to him also. What Kilo wants most is a laid-back family who thinks the world revolves around him and wants to give him comfort and safety for his last years. He will repay you with tons of love!
