Story
Përshëndetje! Which means greetings in Albania where our free-spirited survivor, Kuqo, is from. Kuqo is 8 years old and 45 lbs of pure charm. While some dogs spend their lives waiting for a family, Kuqo spent many years of his life focused on surviving the harsh streets of Albania where there are countless dangers. His resiliency paved a road to rescue when he was eventually taken into a shelter there. Then came the waiting... for three years he waited patiently in that shelter for someone to choose him. But sadly, nobody did. That is until we came along. Kuqo has now made the incredible journey from Albania to NJ for one reason: to find the family he was meant to have all along. Despite everything he's endured, Kuqo has remained one of the sweetest, gentlest souls you'll ever meet. His favorite way to ask for affection is by softly placing his paw on your leg, as if to say, "Will you pet me?" It's impossible not to fall in love with him. Kuqo absolutely loves people and is wonderful with adults and children alike. He's also fantastic with other dogs and has even discovered the joy of playing with his canine foster siblings. (Cats, however, are not his thing, so he'll need a cat-free home.) Named Kuqo, which means "Red" in Albanian, this handsome boy is as smart as he is beautiful. He learns quickly and has been thriving in foster care. He is fully house-trained, has settled beautifully into a home routine, and has overcome the separation anxiety he initially experienced after leaving the shelter. Kuqo is also wonderful on a leash and would happily join you for long daily walks and outdoor adventures. Understandably, Kuqo does have some other lingering anxiety because he has experienced massive transitions for a dog his age, so a patient family adept to understanding his needs would benefit him greatly. His foster family has been working hard with him, and Kuqo now proudly knows sit, down, stay, paw, touch, and up on command. He's eager to learn and genuinely enjoys working with his people. Because he's such an intelligent dog, he'll do best with a family that enjoys keeping him active through long walks, enrichment, and continued training. A tired Kuqo is a happy Kuqo! Kuqo is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. His adoption fee is $205. Kuqo has already overcome more than most dogs ever should so could you be his hero and provide the comfort, safety, and love in his senior years he has searched far and wide for?
