Kiko's Story

Meet Kiko, the 63-pound grey goofball doggy who’s sure to keep you smiling. Kiko is an engaging, outgoing boy who thinks every day is a party and every person is a new best friend! He’s been friendly with staff and volunteers, and he lights up when someone comes to spend time with him. This enthusiastic guy has plenty of pep in his step and loves getting out for long walks or runs to channel his zest for life. After a good outing, he’s happy to settle in with a favorite chew toy or a Kong toy stuffed with cheese whiz, his idea of five-star dining. <br/><br/>Kiko is already working on his manners and responds to the command "sit," especially when treats are involved. He’s highly food-motivated, which makes training both fun and rewarding for everyone. With consistent guidance and positive reinforcement, he’s the kind of dog who will proudly show off all the new skills he learns. Because he’s a strong, bouncy pup, Kiko will do best with adopters who are ready for an active companion and excited to continue his training and leash skills. If you’re looking for a fun-loving dog who will enthusiastically join you in both adventures and training, Kiko is ready to be your joyful, wiggly sidekick!<br/><br/>This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 5-day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period. You can take this pet home to try it out! Interested? Come to the shelter any time during open hours and talk to one of our Customer Care staff!<br/><br/>Be sure to check the "shelter information" box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Michael R. Frey Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours! Both of our locations are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 12-5 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays 12-7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information on our adoption process, including requirements and fees, visit: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalservices/adopt
