Someone has already placed a deposit on me. I'm no longer available.

Kilo is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs. Kilo is on seizure watch and is also deteriorating in the shelter environment. He will benefit from placement out of the shelter as soon as possible. there are no behavior concerns for kilo as he got a level 1 on his behavior assessment.
