Sometimes we just don't have enough time...

Kilo was brought to a local shelter as an owner surrender after his family fell on hard times and could no longer keep him. Like many of our gentle giants, he did not due well in the shelter and became very nervous. Koch's stepped up for this boy during the winter break as did an amazing foster.

Kilo was thriving in his foster home and proved to be quite the gentleman, getting along with cats, dogs and humans alike. He went up for adoption and everyone quickly fell in love. Looks and manners! Win! Kilo quickly got applications and met his forever home! He was scheduled to go home this weekend.

Unfortunately, this morning, everything changed. Kilo was showing signs of distress and we suspected bloat. He was rushed to the emergency vet where they promptly ran blood tests. It was determined that a portion of his intestines were already dying and he was too far gone. We always heard bloat came on fast, but we didn't realize how fast. Our founder and Kilo's foster made the difficult decision to let Kilo go in peace.

Kilo, you were the best boy and we hope you are running free making all the friends over the rainbow bridge. You will not be forgotten.

Our hearts are shattered with this news. He almost made it to his forever home and many hearts are hurting with us. As we mourn this huge loss, we are also faced with an ER vet bill, which is never fun. We will continue our fight being a voice for our gentle giants, but ask that you consider helping us with this unexpected expense.

Fly free, sweet Kilo
