Meet Kylo

Kylo is a 5-year old ~70 lb pittie mix overflowing with love and snuggles and looking for his forever family. This poor boy was taken into foster out of a NYC shelter skinny and dealing with bad skin and ear infections. He immediately settled into foster home life and has since flourished - his coat is as shiny as ever and his infections are long gone! This is truly a special dog. He wants nothing more than to sit on your feet or lie on the couch with his head on your lap and get scratches for as long as you will give them. If he is lucky enough to be allowed on the bed, he loves to snuggle up as close as he can possibly get and nuzzle his face into you. His absolute favorite things in the whole world are tennis balls. Give him 3 tennis balls and he will entertain himself for hours trying to fit them all in his mouth (he has done it!) and chasing them around the house. He also absolutely loves fetch and watching him gallop after a tennis ball and bring it back is as much fun for us as it is for him.

Kylo truly goes with the flow - he is great with anyone and everyone he meets, is good with dogs, walks well on the leash with a harness, can be left alone for long stretches without issue, and sleeps until 10am if you let him. He does not bark when left alone and does the cutest little groans when he is excited to be taken outside. He is house trained and pees and poops immediately when taken out. He knows sit, stay, come, wait, is excellent off-leash, and should be easy to train for other commands as well. He has shown no signs of resource guarding from humans or other dogs.

Kylo can can get very excited when playing with his tennis balls or playing tug and while not aggressive, he does not always realize quite how big he is. He is very responsive to verbal commands but will need someone who is confident telling him No when he gets too excited and knows how to handle a large, strong dog. He has been super gentle with all the children he’s met, but simply because of his size it might be best to have kids over 10. A confident dog owner will have absolutely no problems with this boy and will have the most amazing, fun-loving buddy to snuggle on the couch or go romping in the park with.
