About Kiko

Meet Kiko, a fluffy Australian Shepherd and Pit Bull mix who’s looking for either a foster or a forever home. At around 7 years old and 50 pounds, Kiko is still full of life—curious, upbeat, and eager to be outdoors. He’s got plenty of energy and thrives when he can explore and stay active, so a home with a secure fenced yard away from city bustle suits him best. Kiko gets along well with other dogs and could be a solid companion for a resident pup, but he’d also enjoy being the center of attention as a solo dog. He’s very strong, so whoever takes him in should feel comfortable managing a powerful, athletic dog. Kiko is clever and responsive—a good match for someone who enjoys training and mental engagement. He’s up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered, but isn’t house trained yet. Kiko came from a crowded shelter but has adjusted quickly and is ready to find his next adventure.
