Kayo is a little boy with a big heart, currently hidden behind a layer of fear. He has had a start to life that no dog ever should. Found abandoned in remote bushland with his siblings, Kayo is understandably a very cautious and sensitive soul who is still learning that the world can be a safe and kind place.
Kayo is searching for a very special home—one filled with patience, love and understanding. He will need an owner who is home often and willing to move at Kayo’s pace as he learns to trust and feel secure. While he desperately wants affection and connection, his fear means that building that bond will take time. At first, Kayo may not want to be touched or approached, but with consistency and gentleness, he will slowly show you just how beautiful and gentle his soul truly is.
Kayo absolutely loves other dogs and would thrive in a home with a calm, confident canine companion to help guide him and build his confidence. Don’t be fooled by his quiet nature in the beginning—once he feels safe, his Kelpie personality begins to shine. He loves to run, play, and chase his furry friends and toys, and you may even hear the occasional joyful bark when he’s excited to play or eat.
With the right support, time and guidance, Kayo has incredible potential to become the most loyal and loving companion. For the right person or family willing to open their heart to him, Kayo will be a truly special and rewarding addition.
