My story

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

PLEASE READ KINO’S BIO IN DETAIL TO ENSURE THAT HE WILL BE A GOOD FIT FOR YOU AND YOUR LIFESTYLE BEORE APPLYING. PEASE NOTE: KINO IS BEING FOSTERED IN THE OTTAWA AREA

We at All Paws Matter believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. This is now a requirement in our adoption process. Proof of training classes for puppies specifically is required before adoption.

Kino was abandoned on the streets of Mexico and was brought to our sister rescue SOS el Arca. He was vetted and taken care of in the shelter and brought to us here in Ontario. Through all of the trauma in his young life, Kino is a well adjusted gentle, affectionate loving little dog. He loves snuggling and curling up in your lap. He is a little shy with people at first, but with some gentle and calm attention he overcomes it quickly. Once he gets that trust with people he is very social and will cover them with kisses.

Kino is fully house trained and crate trained. He likes his crate and goes in freely during the day for his little rests and is happy and calm there. He gets along well with the foster’s two dogs, a male and female with no issue. His foster feels kino should be an only dog because we feel he deserves all the attention he can get. He does live currently with two dog savvy cats and, on occasion he does chase them to play not hurt, so it would be at the discretion of the owner to work on proper introductions in the home.

His ideal home would be one with a fully fenced secured yard where he could just have some running space to expend his energy. He could also live in apartment or condo, since he is very quiet. An adopter, who works from home or is home part of the day is important for Kino and someone who would spend time with him and take him with them whenever they could. He can live in a home with respectful children 6+ and he is happiest whenever he is near his people are and his desire to please you, makes him an ideal companion for anyone who understands and appreciates these wonderful attributes.

If you feel you would be the right fit for Kino, please fill out an adoption application at https://www.allpawsmatter.ca/apply-to-adopt/

All APM dogs are UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, spayed or neutered, dewormed, Heart worm (4dx snap) tested and arrive with a health certificate. They come to adopter with a harness, a collar and two leashes for safety.

NOTE: The above description is relevant to this dog in its current and previous setting. Home changes and adopter personalities can bring out different behaviours not previously seen. We also do not claim or suggest that our dogs are hypo-allergenic or that they shed/do not shed.

BREED DISCLAIMER: We are never sure of the breed of our dogs since they arrive off the streets or shelters. It is a guess only!
