Sweet, loving, loyal shadow, lap dependent 3 year old Maltipoo needs a good home with a person who works from home or is retired. This young boy has not been treated kindly in his early years but is willing to forgive and forget for a loving home. He has come into his foster home eagerly accepting love, food, training, and lots of lap time. He would do well as the only dog or with others. He ignores the foster cats, and is respectful of the dogs in his foster home. Kiko has issues with his back legs in that they are weak and need physical training to make them stronger and stretch his tendons that are too short from being in a too small crate for too long. He is also severely underweight but eating well and gaining weight and strength every day. He still needs to be neutered and have his shots updated as he gains enough health to be ready for the procedures. He will be ready to be adopted once this happens in the near future. His full story can be seen on Facebook StreetPaws.org page. You can fill out an adoption form by going to StreetPaws.org.
