I rescued my German Shepherd/ Beagle mix on July 20, 2010.  He was rescued from a kill shelter in Kentucky who didnt have room for him anymore.  He was definitely going to be put to sleep if not rescued immediately.  When he was brought to the shelter his back leg was barely hanging on.  My assumption is his current owners did not want to pay the vet bills after he was hit by a car.  When I heard about his story, I knew I had to meet him.  He was the sweetest dog and the most beautiful one as well. I couldn't believe he was so young.  They guessed under a year. He was so kind and gentle.  I fell in love instantly.  He had his leg amputated two days before his adventure to NJ.   I couldnt believe how well he had adapted to life with out his leg in just two  days.  Amazing!  I had to have him. I am a sucker for rescue dogs.  I also have a Boston Terrier who was abandoned as well. 

Kilo has adjusted nicely to his new home with my fiancé and I. Kilo and his sister Obie (Boston) are the best of friends.  He loves going for long walks and playing around the house.  He is extremely energetic!!  On October 9th, Kilo and I are doing the Hounds and Harriers 5k in Morristown to raise money for St. Huberts Animal Welfare Center.  I have been raising money and other donations at my work.  I can not wait to wear our tripawds bandana and represent all of the other tripawds out there!!
