Meet Kito, the wonderfully wiggly woof who puts the "squoosh" in Squishmallow! ✨ This charming Akita forgot he’s supposed to be all stoic and scary—no one gave him that memo! Instead, he prefers a life filled with giggles, wags, and smothering everyone with love! 😍 Kito is learning to embrace the big, wide world, one happy step at a time. Time was, he’d whirl around like a tornado during walks, but now he’s mastering the art of relaxation! You’ll spot him patiently plopping down on the grass at our Point Loma event or on a Pack Walk, soaking up the love like a pro. 🐾 And if you happen to be chilling on the grass? Guess what? Kito has you covered as the ultimate lap warmer—who needs a blanket when you have a Kito? This big bundle of joy adores hugs, gentle brushes, and anyone who’ll remind him just how extraordinarily handsome he is! 😉 However, he is massive, and for safety reasons, his new humans need to have a strong demeanor for those unexpected surprises in the world around him. While he’s never met a stranger he doesn’t love, Kito will need to be in a home without kids under the age of 15—let’s face it, he can be a bit too goofy and tall for the little ones! Due to his Flight Risk nature, Kito can’t be left unattended in a yard and requires crate training when you’re away. Hold tight to that leash during your exciting adventures, and keep an eye on open doors and windows—Kito’s safety is the priority! Remember, no off-leash activities in unfenced areas allowed. This loving animal is new to the rescue, but you can bookmark this pet in the Buddy App for updates! To welcome Kito into your life, don’t forget to *apply through the Buddy App*! 💖
