Story
UPDATE APRIL 25 — what a difference another few weeks has brought to Kiko. He is now neutered and has his umbilical hernia repaired and has all his shots and is HW NEGATIVE. He loves to play fetch and is playing tug of war with toys with his sibs. He loves his walks and he does them on a leash. If the walk is long I will carry him a ways here and there to relive his back legs. His legs have strengthen and stretched and he can now get up on his hind legs for short periods. He is running, playing, and remains my loyal shadow. He will need a mom that loves to have her boy close at all times. He gets upset if he cannot see me, though he does fine left in the house while I grocery shop and do errands. He loves to find and chew sticks and toys and my hand which I have been stopping him from doing but it’s his favorite thing so it’s a battle. Hide the hands and redirect him to stuffies. He has a consultation with Southeast veterinary specialists to look at his back knees on May 5. This is one of the smartest, sweetest, boy I have ever had live with me. He is a joy and he is a lot as he needs mom all the time. He sleeps with his head on my shoulder. He is not independent so be prepared for total love 100% of the time. UPDATE APRIL4 - Kiko weighed in at 7.3 lbs this morning after his second breakfast he came to us at 4.2 you can watch his first bath on FB post link below. Kiko has had his first groom which was mostly a shave to the skin due to his matting, however it is growing in quickly. He does not like to be groomed so I am using a soft brush on him daily and a face wash to get him used to being taken care of. Kiko loves his daily walk with the pack and does most of it in a sling however he does short stints on a leash and loves it. Kiko is potty trained but he has to go out every couple of hours. He will use a pee pad while kenneled in a penned in area with a bed, pee pad, water, and treats, when I have to leave for a few hours. He loves to play tug and fetch with toy stuffies. He yawns to release his stress/energy excitement and with every yawn he makes the cutest sound. Kiko will be neutered mid April and have his shots done now that he has recovered from his early life. His back legs have gotten stronger but will need knee surgery on his left hind leg. He is the most loving sweetest little man ever. He has a wonderful personality and is so smart. March 22 intake write up —— Sweet, loving, loyal shadow, lap dependent 3 year old Maltipoo needs a good home with a person who works from home or is retired. This young boy has not been treated kindly in his early years but is willing to forgive and forget for a loving home. He has come into his foster home eagerly accepting love, food, training, and lots of lap time. He would do well as the only dog or with others. He ignores the foster cats, and is respectful of the dogs in his foster home. Kiko has issues with his back legs in that they are weak and need physical training to make them stronger and stretch his tendons that are too short from being in a too small crate for too long. He is also severely underweight but eating well and gaining weight and strength every day. He still needs to be neutered and have his shots updated as he gains enough health to be ready for the procedures. He will be ready to be adopted once this happens in the near future.
