My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sumo was found by a Good Samaritan. He had a terrible, bulging eye that had to be removed almost immediately by the vet. Sumo might be the heaviest blue heeler we've ever seen. He is still a very happy boy that often wags & wags his tail. He walks well on a leash despite his size, likes the other dogs, & is super friendly. Sumo is also very attentive to his humans. We hope that his foster can continue to walk him & control his diet to help him lose weight. We know he will feel better in no time at all. Meet this hunk today!

If you have any questions or are interested in fostering please email animalbehavior@kokomohumane.org. You can submit our adoption application on our website. The adoption fee is $150 which includes the spay/neuter, microchip, vaccines, & goodie bag to go home.
