Meet Kibo. This very sweet boy came to us from a local hoarding situation in deplorable condition. After a sedation grooming and plenty of TLC he's looking and feeling 1000% better! We think he's around 8 years old and a Lhaso Apso or a Lhasa Apso mix.
When Kibo first came to his foster home he was understandably anxious! He didn't know how to do stairs, leash walking was a challenge, and he was fearful of walking on grass. Fast forward just a few weeks in foster care and Kibo has made amazing progress! He's great with other dogs and has used the other dogs in his foster home as role models, and he quickly was able to teach himself to go up and down a flight of stairs. He's getting used to enjoying the nice weather and time outside, and he's now walking beautifully on leash. And Kibo is very affectionate! He loves attention, snuggles, and cuddles, and he's also very food motivated which is certainly a plus in training. He's a smart boy and has quickly settled into the routine of life as a pampered pet and it's wonderful to see his tail held high and wagging.
Kibo has seen the vet and his neuter is scheduled for May 16, but it's going to be a little more complicated because he's cryptorchid, meaning that one of his testicles is not descended. Kibo is going to need to stay in foster care until his neuter surgery is complete and he's fully recovered. He does have dry eye and had a terrible eye infection when he came to us. His eye infection has cleared up very nicely is clearing up and he's responding well to the daily eyedrops that he's going to need for the rest of his life. He is visually impaired in his left eye but does have better vision in his right eye. His skin was in poor shape but with good nutrition, high-quality flea protection, and a lower stress routine we think within a month or two he's going to be a gorgeous boy!
Kibo has been through a lot! Conditions in his previous living situation were just horrific. It's great to see him relaxed and happy. He has made huge progress with house training, and we are confident that he will be house trained with patience and consistency. It's important that anyone who is interested in adopting Kibo be aware that he is going to need regular grooming and daily eyedrops. This sweet, smart boy has been through a lot and he deserves someone who is going to love and spoil him for the rest of his days.

Our Adoption Process:
Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in.
ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time.
Complete our online application
You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt.
If you feel comfortable that the animal is a good fit for your home, at this point, you would submit a sum of $200 as a partial payment of the adoption fee as we process your application. From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit. If you are not approved to adopt, any payment sent to us would be promptly returned in full.
At this point, we will remove the animal from our adoption sites and hold the animal for you while we check your references. If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer.
Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption.
Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc.
Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England.
Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent.
Our extensive approval process is intended to ensure the best fit between our animals and adopters. Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) reserves the right to deny any adoption application with or without disclosure of cause.
Your adoption fee helps to cover the cost of all age appropriate vetting and transportation. FOHARI.ORG makes no explicit or implicit guarantees in reference to the health, temperament and/or the breed of the animal. The animal is adopted ‘as is’, and the adopter assumes all responsibility for treatment of any and all existing conditions or any other conditions of physical or temperament changes that may occur. FOHARI.ORG will provide the animal with the basic vaccines, heart worm test and sterilization of dogs and cats before adoption if the age and current health of the animal permits. While FOHARI.ORG
makes every effort to place only healthy animals, FOHARI.ORG cannot guarantee the health of any animal, and shall not be held responsible for any medical expenses that may be incurred. Rescuer will provide information received from the veterinarian exam, observations on the temperament of the animal and a best guess of the breed.
