About this Dog
To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: 1 year (as of 12/1/23) Weight: 82.4 (as of 1/31/24) Location: RI Kord is available for adoption to Massachusetts residents, as well as those in the other New England states. This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet Kord, a young, intelligent, and gentle boy. We are thinking he is a Great Pyrenees mix. He's got a heart as big as his size, and he loves nothing more than to share his affection with everyone he meets. He thrives on being close to his people, and especially adores children. Known for his amiable nature, Kord easily gets along with other dogs and generously shares his space with cats during mealtime and bedtime. Despite his general calmness, Kord expresses discomfort during storms and occasionally exhibits anxiety when in the car or left alone. It's worth noting that he's making progress in overcoming these challenges, showcasing his adaptability and resilience. Kord is housetrained but does not enjoy the crate. He has been left alone for up to four hours without destruction. He walks pretty good on the leash but may pull. He loves long walks & exploring and would enjoy a family who likes to spend time doing activities outdoors. A fenced yard would be great so Kord can run and play safely, but if that's not available he will likely do just fine with daily leash walks and some opportunities for off-leash play in a fenced yard or long-lead sniff time. We recommend that you and Kord sign up for some dog training classes together, ideally in the first 60 days or so of bringing him home. Group training classes are a great way to reinforce important skills, learn some new tricks, and get some quality socialization time with other furry friends. Kord is not just a pet, he's a friend, a companion, and a source of unconditional love. He's ready to find a home where he can share his love and joy. Adopt Kord, and let him fill your life with laughter, fun, and companionship. Kord’s story: He was stray who hung out at local rural convenience store for several weeks prior to being dumped along highway in front of vet’s office. He was social and friendly but submissive to the customers who were feeding him lots of people food. He has transitioned to a proper dog food diet and is doing great with his foster family! Medical Note: The dog has had seizure activity while in foster care. He has responded well to anti-seizure medication; the working diagnosis is idiopathic epilepsy and we expect that he will need to remain on anti-seizure medications indefinitely. This medication costs about $1.5-2/day and bloodwork is recommended every six months. Seizure disorders are considered well managed if the dog has fewer than 2 seizures per month.

This does not mean that this dog had/has an active infection of ehrlichiosis, only that the dog was exposed or infected in the past. This dog is/has been asymptomatic while in SOS care and is being treated/has been treated preventatively with a 28-day course of doxycycline. This dog is ready for adoption, though may continue to test positive for exposure to ehrlichia for some time.

Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.

Adopt Kord *LOCAL* and Receive Dogecoin
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, Kord *LOCAL*'s new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Kord *LOCAL*'s current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Kord *LOCAL*, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Kord *LOCAL*'s Dogecoin 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 Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. 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 Kord *LOCAL* was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Kord *LOCAL*’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Kord *LOCAL*’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, Kord *LOCAL*’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin 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!
