He is roughly 14 years old and housebroken. He also happens to be deaf, but don’t let that stop you – the rescues says he is loyal and well-mannered.

The perfect home for Kiko would be one without cats or children. He should be fine with a female dog as a companion. He is slow to warm up to strangers, so a patient owner who understands shy dogs would be the best fit.

“Hi guys! Thanks to everyone who has heard about my incredible journey and for everyone supporting me and helping me look for my forever home. In case anyone is looking to adopt me here’s a couple things you should know: 1⃣I’m looking for a home without cats, children or other dogs (one older, calmer dog might be ok but I prefer to be the center of attention at home). 2⃣I’m looking for a home that’s at the most 3 hours away from NYC so the organization that took me in can do a home visit to make sure I’ll adjust well. 3⃣If you’re interested please fill out an application with @mightymutts. 4⃣ I am currently in a loving foster home where I am being spoiled with belly rubs and treats and hugs and kisses and I can stay there until I finally meet the right humans to adopt me” – ❤️love Kiko #pitbullsofinstagram #pittylove #showusyourpitties #pitbullsofIG #Deafdogsrock #adoptme #adoptabledog #adoptdontshop #pittbulllife #welovepitbulls #recscuedogs #rescue #bullybreed A photo posted by KingKiko (@king__kiko) on
