Meet Kylo! He is a 2 year old black lab mix that was found stray in Kentucky. Kylo was brought into rescue as a medical case after he started to have seizures.

Despite his calm demeanor, Kylo has a playful side and shows excitement—especially when food is involved! Kylo is dog-friendly and enjoys the company of other canine friends. He occasionally gets excited around food and may jump, but his well-trained nature makes this manageable with gentle reminders.
Training: Kylo is well-trained, and he knows all of the basics. He is housetrained. He also knows several commands, including Sit, Stay, Paw, Down. Kylo is highly treat-motivated and eager to learn!
Updates
Kylo has the best personality—a perfect blend of playful and snuggly, friendly and curious. He forms quick bonds with “his” people and is a total joy to have around. Within 15 minutes of arriving at our home, he and our resident dog were fast friends, immediately diving into games of tug-of-war with whatever toy they could find. When playtime was over, Kylo would seek out the closest dog bed, pillow, or lap to rest his head—he’s a world-class cuddler.
One of Kylo’s most endearing qualities is his ability to match your energy throughout the day. Whether you’re up and active or taking it slow, he’s right there with you.
We’re thrilled to share that Kylo was in perfect health throughout his stay with us and had zero seizures. His medication routine couldn’t be easier—just a couple of pills with meals, and he’s good to go. A spoonful of peanut butter made it even easier and more fun for him.
Kylo adjusted well to our downtown lifestyle with no yard, though he clearly loved his daily long walks. We encountered lots of other dogs in close quarters, which sometimes made him barky or nervous, but we had great success redirecting him with training treats. With continued positive reinforcement, we’re confident he’ll keep improving. That said, he would absolutely thrive with a yard to explore—he’s a curious guy who enjoys having space to roam.
Bottom line—don’t overlook Kylo because of his medical history. He is an absolute gem of a family dog, and giving him his meds is a breeze. You’ll be gaining a loyal, loving, and joyful companion who brings heart and happiness to every da
Kylo Foster Update
We traveled for spring break and Kylo went to temporary foster. His temp foster said he did great! He was a perfect gentleman!
Kylo blended back in with our dogs immediately as he remembered us all. He found a new hang out place on our window bench. He is an A+ Napper.
He continues to be such a good boy. He loves to be outside and loves to go on walks. He does have a higher prey drive so we recommend a home with a physical fence. He likes to sniff around and explore!
He fully accepts any love and attention that comes his way, but is also content with laying by himself and looking out the window.
He is totally stable on his meds and that is the only way we have any indication of a condition.
He would make a great addition to any family!
Kylo came to us a week and a half ago so he could take advantage of a fenced in yard. He loves to go outside and roam around, investigating the area on his own.
He has blended in with our 2 dogs and all the boys get along very well. He was not sure of his situation initially, but now feels comfortable in his surroundings.
He is truly a gentle giant as he is closer to 80lbs now.
Since he came to visit us we have not witnessed any seizures and he has been stable on his medication. We put his meds in his food.
Kylo loves attention, but does not compete for it. He is also happy taking a nap on his own and laying around away from our dogs. He loves to go on walks and is happy to greet other dogs or people. At night he sleeps in a bed at the foot of our bed. He is food motivated and also likes to know what you are eating. He will crate, but has been left out with our boys, multiple times, when we are away from the house. He loves dog toys and has not chewed on anything he is not supposed to.
We believe that he will be a great addition to any household ready to love this big boy!
Kylo is such a good boy. He is doing very well in our home getting along with his foster canine sister. He enjoys chewing chew toys and ropes. He leaves our Christmas tree alone along with any of our decorations and personal items.
He is really good at reading the room. If his foster sibling wants to play, he engages. If she is content napping, so is he. He enjoys being around us and is usually not far from where we are. He is potty trained and as stated previously, he sits, shakes and lays down. Kylo is very food motivated. He does well in a crate. We crate him when we are gone and at night although, we may start leaving him out at night. I think he would prefer to be with us.
Kylo is a big boy, and strong. He is also a bit of a gentle giant so I think will make a great pet for most anyone. He really is a gem of a dog.
