A heroic bull who saved his owner's life and then became homeless has finally gotten his second chance in the form of a new home of his own.woof black dog balto nom nom dog food wet dog food sniffspot dog food doga
Kiko, now 14, was shot by his owner during a home invasion in 2012 and became homeless shortly after his owner had to move and was unable to take Kiko with him. Mighty Mutts, a rescue organization based in New York City, took in Kiko in 2014 and has been tirelessly searching for the right home for him ever since.
“We've all been very involved with Kiko over the past year and a half, and it's so exciting to see him find his home,” Mighty Mutts' Jill Hines told The Dodo. Kiko is older and also deaf, so the house had to be very special for him to meet his needs.
The couple who knew they were definitely the right family for Kiko saw his story on The Dodo and contacted the Mighty Mutts about him. On Thursday evening, the couple came to pick up Kiko and finally take him to his long-awaited home. Needless to say, Kiko looks very happy.woof black dog balto nom nom dog food wet dog food sniffspot dog food doga
On the Mighty Mutts Facebook page, Kiko's new home was celebrated with these words, "He went to a lovely couple on Thursday night and they were totally focused on him. They saw the article about him in The Dodo, which has been shared thousands of times." “And they knew he was the dog for them.”woof black dog balto nom nom dog food wet dog food sniffspot dog food doga
Mighty Mutts relies on foster families to care for their rescued dogs, and Kiko's foster mother Casey Ryan was a true hero to him while he waited to find his forever home. “He is a great, older, champion dog and deserves a forever home where he will be pampered and loved unconditionally,” Casey told The Dodo before finally adopting Kiko.woof black dog balto nom nom dog food wet dog food sniffspot dog food doga
Mighty Mutts are always looking for foster homes in New York City to help them care for their beloved dogs before they find their new homes.
