Bio:
Meet Kiko — the handsome blockhead with a big heart, big smile, and even bigger enthusiasm for life.
Kiko is a 63-pound grey goofball who brings joy everywhere he goes. On his recent field trip, he proved himself to be an affectionate, social boy who loves riding in the car, entertaining himself with stuffies, and soaking up attention from his people. He’s easy on leash, enjoys long grass snacks, and surprised everyone by happily wading into the water — he might be a future water dog with a little confidence. Treats are a big motivator for Kiko, and he already knows “sit.” He takes regular treats politely, though his manners get adorably wiggly when high-value snacks like cheeseburgers appear. With consistent reinforcement, he’ll quickly catch on that “good things are worth the wait.”
Kiko is the perfect blend of fun and chill: ready for power walks, car rides, and adventures… but also fully capable of being the resident couch potato once his energy is spent. He’s affectionate, friendly with volunteers and staff, and delighted to meet new people.
If you’re looking for a lovable, outgoing companion who will brighten your days and keep you smiling, Kiko is ready to be your joyful, wiggly best friend.
