Has your dog ever exhibited any challenging behaviors, such as biting a person or another pet? If so, could you please share some details about the situation?:
He has grown up with his brother, Bill, and recently he has started to become overwhelmed while playing with Bill, he hasn’t bit anybody or any other dog, but he had gotten into little tuffs with his brother. That is why we are trying to re home him into a home where he is preferably the only dog in the home, that way he can make sure he gets the activities that he needs and become less overwhelmed.
How does your dog react to being left alone for short periods?:
He does very well! He is crate trained during the night and while we are at work, he sometimes has accidents in the crate but does very well!
Are there any specific triggers that cause your dog anxiety or stress?:
He hasn’t really been socialized around other dogs that aren’t his siblings, so he can tend to get quite stressed/anxious when he sees or meets another dog that he doesn’t know. He is a big ball of sunshine but tends to have anxiety when it comes car rides and meeting new people; but he does great once you slowly introduce him to these new people and things.
Is there a particular routine that works best for your dog in terms of feeding, walking, and sleep?:
He gets fed twice a day, once in the morning and at night, we have a fenced in backyard that he has grown up with so he hasn’t mastered the art of walking on a leash yet, and he does super good about either sleeping in his kennel/crate when needed to, but also loves to cuddle and be with his people.

Neutral: Doesn't mind cats but doesn't interact much with them.
What's the most endearing thing about your dog?:
He is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet; he loves love and loves being loved. He is the best cuddle buddy to have and is the sweetest thing ever with our family.
What criteria are important to you when considering an adoptive family or home for your pet?:
I really think the only criteria Kilo needs is for his next home he should be the only dog in the household. He is amazing with kids and cats and new people, but he is really young and really needs to just have the sole focus be on him and helping him become the best version of himself. He needs a home where he can run and play and get the interaction and attention he needs to continue training him into his best self!
Is there anything else you'd like your pet's new family to know?:
He is crate trained, but does sometimes has accidents; he gets anxious easily and i really thinking just having someone who can work with him on these little things would be the best fit for him. He is so so smart and i know that he is capable of learning so many new things!
Why are you rehoming your pet (primary reason)?:
Incompatible with Other Pets
Rehoming reason details (if necessary):
We made the mistake of keeping two puppies from the same litter; they have been best buddies their whole lives but recently Bill (his brother) has been making Kilo anxious in situations like when they are outside together alone or when they are eating inside. I do not want anything to he to a point where either of them turn into have “littermate syndrome”, so I am trying to re home Kilo so that he can continue to grow and do amazing in a different household.
