Kyro

My story

Kyro, our 18 month old Akita is searching for his forever home! Now is the perfect time to get him into a family that we know he will be so loyal to. He’s a neutered male who weighed 74lbs a couple weeks ago but has some room to grow still. He is vaccinated, microchipped, negative for heart worm and tick borne diseases. Now that we have his basic facts out of the way, let’s get to what his perfect home looks like! The best home for Kyro is one who is familiar with or at minimum, does research and gets to know the breed. Maybe you’re someone who is allergic to cats and could never have one, but could go for a cat-like dog in a larger body? That’s Kyro for you! While he can’t live with cats (or squirrels!), he will play and act like one. He’s good for some drive by attention. Give him some pets and he’ll be off on his way to continue exploring. He may even entertain himself with his toys while you’re doing stuff around the house. He super loves balls so bonus points for keeping those in the house! Later on he’ll lovingly watch you from the window if you dared to go outside without him. Big perk of him not actually being a cat? He goes to the bathroom outside! 100% of the time as he loves having a clean and tidy kennel. There’s also no risk of him scratching up your favorite ottoman or walking on your kitchen table since again he’s an Akita, not A-Kitty. The dog part of his personality does have a request. It’s quite simple though, in that he’d prefer a dog friend to be of the lady variety. He can be a bit of the rough and tumble type when it comes to playtime with dogs, so just make note of that! There’s nothing dainty about this handsome boy. If Kyro sounds like the dog you’ve been looking for, let us know! Submit your application at www.mercysdoorpetrescue.org so he can interview you. He’ll even show off his sit and down, and may even have new tricks to show you by then too as he is one smart cookie!
