Hi everyone, I am the courageous Kilo and here's some information about me. Some amazing people rescued me from a ranch in Guadalajara, Mexico, back in January when I was just 5 weeks old. The ranch owner explained that of the 20 or so dogs there, only a few were his. Most had wandered in from the nearby town. My parents were both merle Australian Shepherds, which unfortunately left me with blindness and deafness, making me vulnerable on the ranch. The workers feared I wouldn’t survive, but I was lucky enough to find a foster mom who took me in. Over the next month, I traveled with my foster mom across Mexico, and when I returned to Vancouver at 9 weeks old, I was adopted! Unfortunately, due to unforeseen family circumstances, I was returned to my foster. I was very loved by the family, and rehoming me was an incredibly difficult decision for them, but they wanted to ensure I was in the best possible situation moving forward.
I’m back at my foster and she would love to see me in a stable and loving environment. She says that I'm an incredibly adaptable and resilient dog, but because of my blindness and deafness, I would do best in a home where I can get used to the layout and settle into, and could benefit from a routine. Being a very smart girl, I know all the basic commands like “sit,” “shake,” and “lie down” through touch signals. I have been house-trained and will let my people know when I need to go outside.
Walks and car rides are my favourite thing! Leash walking is no problem and I sleep like a baby in the car. As a real Miss Congeniality, I get along with people, cats, and dogs of all sizes. Having another dog around, ideally one who could serve as a guide or companion to help me navigate the world, will be amazing. Despite my seeing and hearing limitations, I am an energetic girl who loves to play, so an active home is important, however I do enjoy cuddling and lounging around. I'm happiest when I get regular exercise and affection. My foster mom says I am a lot of work, but also a lot of love.
Due to my age, I am not yet spayed (the vet recommended waiting until my second heat). My foster mom says that I truly deserve the best, being a sweet, affectionate, and resilient girl who will bring joy to the right home!
My adoption fee is $100.
