Meet Kato!

Kato is a 10 month old Lab mix.

He was rescued from a local shelter, where he was underweight and had a collar embedded in the skin around his neck.

This happens when a collar is placed on a dog and not adjusted as they grow.

Over time, the skin starts growing over the collar, which is very painful, causes severe infection, and can lead to death when the dog is no longer able to swallow food or water, and eventually chokes.

It is obviously very preventable.

But Kato is safe in rescue now.

The collar was surgically removed and he has completely healed from his injuries.

Kato is an amazingly sweet boy!

All during his treatment and recovery (which involved daily flushing and medicating of his wounds) he wagged

his tail and gave us kisses.

Never even so much as a growl, and it was certainly painful having his wounds treated.

His hair is still growing back (it had to be shaved), but his wounds are completely closed and the infection is long gone.

Kato LOVES to play with other dogs (one of his picutres is of him and his buddy Gemma - also available for adoption - running around the yard together).

He's a little bouncy, but takes corrections very well when his playmate has had enough.

He ignores cats, and also loves children (he was tested with an 18 month old).

He is currently around 40 pounds and we expect him to reach 45-50 fully grown, so he won't be huge.

As with all of our dogs, we recommend a basic obedience class to help him understand what is expected of him, and this also helps with the bonding process.

Kato's adoption fee is $475, which covers all his vetting, preventatives, fostering costs and other associated expenses.

We do not adopt to anyone under the age of 21.

***We are unable to adopt to residents in the state(s) of Rhode Island and Massachusetts due to the regulations within the state.
