Nilo

MEET NILO — blue eyes, satellite ears and absolutely ZERO volume control required.

Nilo found himself on the OKC shelter euthanasia list after being hit by a car.

Thankfully, what this sweet boy really needed was time.

Time to rest. Time for the road rash to heal. Time for the limp to disappear. And once he felt better, we got to meet the REAL Nilo...

And apparently the real Nilo is part dog, part bucking bronco.

He comes out READY TO GO — zoomies first, questions later. He runs, plays and has the funniest little cross-legged prance when he jogs around the yard.

Then he gets those initial zoomies out of his system and suddenly...

Baby.

From day one, Nilo has let me scoop him up and hold him in my arms like one. He'll settle right in and soak up every chest rub you'll give him like that's exactly where he was supposed to be all along.

Nilo is deaf, but that really isn't the headline of who he is. He's smart and does well learning hand signs. H
