About Kilon located in Maine
Adoption Fee: $550.00 - under 12 Months Old Fee (2023 fee)
“Hey Everyone! My name is Kilon, and I am listed with MAD as KILON! And everything out of my mouth gets an explanation point! Because I have a lot of energy, and am ready to go to work for you as soon as I roll out of my fluffy bed! Check out that cool lightning bolt marking on my tail! Gotta run now, I am going to give my Foster Dad the keyboard, and see if I can get the other Malinois here to play with me!”
So Kilon is just 5 months old and came into MAD from a shelter’s Death Row in NYC on Super Bowl Sunday. After a quick stop over in Boston, we picked Kilo up on Valentine’s Day and he is in Vermont now on 10 acres and pounding through the snow and frozen ground like a trooper. He racks up 6 to 7 hours of exercise a day on his activity Tracker.
Kilon answers to his name, is very alert and must go to a working home, where he has a job. He is very curious and if you talk to him while you are working he is very attentive to that, but he is not a ‘sit by your desk’ kind of dog.
Kilon weighed 37 pounds on the bathroom scale this morning, but he has paws larger than my 72 lbs. female. That is a significant indication that he will grow to be a full sized Belgian Malinois.
Kilon knows ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’ and ‘come’. He is struggling with ‘off’ and ‘no’ due to his high drive and puppy energy, but with a bond he will attain that as well. Uh oh, he’s back!
Kilon says “I would be a GREAT working dog! I longs to be outside, even in the rain or snow. Are you taking a shower? I will pop in for a splash! Going for a ride in the car? Put a body harness on me and hook me to the head rest; just leave me a little slack to lay down and leave the vents blowing on me so I can draw a sniff map of where we are going! Oh look! My Jolly Ball, gotta go!”
Kilon would make a great herding dog on a farm with the right training. He wants to meet every dog he sees and initiates play right away, often by ‘nosing’ a back leg of the other dog. He’s with an Alpha Senior Belgian Malinois and a Black Mouth Cur now that gets into play bow and takes off running with Kilo. He is wearing them out by noon daily!
Going from NYC life to the country he is gradually getting used to the quiet surroundings but is easily distracted by them, so we use the Calm App “Fly Fishing” soundtrack and then he settles in and sleeps all night. During the day, his high drive has him needing something in his mouth and wants others to engage him. Kilo is not an apartment dog or concrete jungle city dog. Due to his high energy, he needs to be on a natural surface. He had paw pad damage from his prior life but its healing up nicely. Uh oh, here he comes again!
Kilon says “So, I know I am a little busy body now, but I have NOT been neutered yet. The other male dog here says I will be more focused and concentrate better when that is done. I am really funny and kinda clumsy and goofy too! I like take off passed my foster Dad by running between his legs, going under the truck on my belly instead of around it; I go upstairs by jumping two or three at a time! Everybody makes this high pitched chuckle whenever I do those things, so they must like it, right?! Uh oh, Foster Mom is home and she might have that pumpkin bread from the bakery again!”
Kilon loves to snuggle up with the female human in the house. He has a bit gentler demeanor with her, and will snuggle up and make the cutest ‘comfort sounds’ at night while watching TV. He is very verbal with his emotions. While he bonded quickly with me, he is attracted to females first when we are out and about.
