Assistance Dogs

Kiko

Meet Kiko!

**We adopt our dogs to families within 50 miles of Grants Pass, Oregon.  All applications are screened for compatibility with the dog of interest. We will ask for pictures of your home and yard.  If you are interested in being considered as a potential adopter, please fill out our online application at:   www.samsimonfoundation.org.  Follow the tabs to ‘dogs for adoption’. 

Kiko is a 17 pound, neutered male Shih Tzu, approximately 5 years old.  We are looking for an adopter that has experience with his breed and needs. He can be feisty but he is ultimately very sweet.  He needs the right home where he feels safe and understood. 

Kiko is very sweet and loyal and loves all people.  He’s confident in public places and loves going for car rides. He will bark excitedly at other dogs but we have worked on this and he is improving. He will need continued training to maintain these improvements. 

He doesn’t like being left home alone so an adopter that is home most of the time would be best. 

He is selfish about his resources around other dogs and cats, especially when it comes to squeaky toys and other items that he cherishes.  For that reason, we are not going to place him in a home with other dogs, cats, nor children under age 10.  He does share his toys well with adult humans. 

He will need  someone that can afford the extra expense of his dog food and grooming.  He doesn’t like being groomed or handled in that way.  

As a healthy, housebroken and well-mannered indoor companion, Kiko is ready to bring joy and companionship to his forever home. Because of how he reacts to the sight of other dogs, he’s not suited for apartment or condo living.
