About Kairo

Kairo is an eight-month-old boxer mix who has a sweet and curious demeanor. With a tan coat complemented by a distinctive black mask, a white stripe on his face, and a white chest, he’s a charming sight. His playful spirit shines through in how he tilts his head while waiting attentively for direction. As a young dog, Kairo benefits greatly from socialization. He gets along well with confident dogs, so a home with a friendly, self-assured canine companion would be ideal. He’s already leash and crate trained, and with consistent guidance, he should maintain his house training. Kairo hasn’t been around children or cats yet, but he’s eager to meet new friends. We recommend scheduling a meet and greet to see how Kairo fits with your family. The shelter is open Monday through Friday from 12 pm to 4 pm, with possible appointments outside those hours. Reach out today to set up a visit and learn more about him!
