Kibo

Kibo (key-bow)

Due to unprecedented circumstances, our family needs to rehome Kibo.

Kibo is a 8 yr old bully breed that is sweet & docile. He enjoys cuddling with adults, kids, other dogs, & cats, alike. He believes he’s a small lap dog, but his size and stance say otherwise.

Kibo was rescued in 2018, after he was used as a bait dog in a dog fighting ring down south. He has filled our home with love & laughs for many years and we’re hoping he can have that same love with another family.

He’s a polite, easy-going fellow, who rarely barks or makes noise—- except for a sweet, pathetic whine when he wants to be loved on. He’s a gentle protector whom we’ve seen watch guys who were up to no good and stand guard to protect our kids. He didn’t growl—- he stood between the bad guy and us; watching the bad guy’s every move.

He is family and we want the best for our family. Our situation was dire & we had to make choices to protect ourselves and children—- now, it’s time to do what’s best for our sweet guy.

He’s also very good at cleaning cats with his tongue, as well as any plate of leftovers. They’ll smell like dog breath after, but that’s his love language.

If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet family dog, Kibo is a gentle giant who will melt your heart.
