About this Dog
Sumo has been a wonderful companion since we got him from a breeder at 8 weeks old in 2021. He will be 4 this year (2025) and his neuter is scheduled. Unfortunately he is not adjusting well to our infant daughter. This manifested itself in aggression towards my senior Pomeranian which led to us rehoming her. For this reason, we are keeping him and my daughter completely separate which means he can no longer snuggle with his humans on the couch or sleep in our room. Sumo has no bite history towards humans or dogs, but I would recommend he be the only dog in a home with older children (10 and up). He has a history of reactivity towards other dogs. He is a true couch potato and is fine up to 10 hours a day alone. No counter surfing or jumping up of any kind. He walks decently on a leash. Fenced in backyard preferred. We just want to find our buddy a calm and loving home where he can get all the snuggles and attention he deserves. I can provide more details as requested.

Adopt Sumo and Receive Sumo's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Sumo's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$7 is Sumo's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Sumo, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Sumo's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Sumo was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Sumo’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Sumo’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Sumo’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
