My Story
Meet Arrow (previously Kairo) !!
This beautiful guy was recently returned to us. He was originally saved from a shelter. He was terribly thin. He bounced back quickly and was adopted. Sadly he’s not been getting along with one dog in his new home.
Arrow is a 2 year old male pitbull type mix. He weighs 55 pounds. He has been neutered, microchipped and updated on vaccines. He is Heartworm negative. He is being treated for Lyme with antibiotics which he will come with.
He is very sweet and loyal. Loves any attention he can get. He’s a fun active and energetic dog that loves to run and is always happy to play fetch. He also has a cuddly side when he’s tired out. He clings to his people and wants to be with you as much as possible.
Arrow is great with potty training. He is crate and leash trained but does need some corrections while walking to not pull. He does good on car rides. He’s very fearful when corrected. We aren’t sure how he was corrected in his previous home. Positive reinforcement is helping him learn to not jump up and basic obedience he was missing when returned to us. He’s learning every day as he’s now able to gain some confidence and feel safe. He will occasionally submissive pee a small amount when corrected. We expect that to fade as his confidence grows.
His previous owner says he loves kids and does well with them. Due to the energy level and jumping up it would be better to have him in a home with bigger kids but he’s never been aggressive to anyone. He’s not been good with cats.
Arrow gets along fantastic with the dog in his foster home. They were instant friends and play, eat and sleep together without any issues. He also got along with several dogs in the previous home but couldn’t be around one of the dogs. We aren’t sure why they don’t get along but suspect it’s Arrows energy level. He’s very playful and active which likely agitated the senior dog and caused issues between them. He would do best with another active playmate or would also be fine in a home without dogs.
Arrow has not shown any food, toy or treat aggression with humans or other dogs. He’s extremely loving and sweet. He loves toys and any activities you will do with him.
If you’re looking for an extremely affectionate boy with lots of energy then Arrow may be the perfect pup for you.
