![Image for display with article titled Shelter Pet Spotlight: Kiyojin Wants to Be You Best Buddy](<p>This week’s <em>Folsom Times</em> Shelter Pet Spotlight, presented by <a href="https://www.symmetryforhealth.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Symmetry for Health of Folsom</a>, features an energetic and affectionate Pit Bull Terrier named Kiyojin. Currently residing at <a>Sacramento County Animal Care Services</a>, Kiyojin is a neutered male with a tan and white coat. Shelter staff estimate he is about 2 years and 3 months old, weighing in at approximately 71.6 pounds.</p>
<p>Kiyojin has been at the shelter since Oct. 2, and <a>his adoption fee is waived</a>. This friendly pup recently enjoyed a field trip, where he impressed his human companion with his well-behaved nature, car-riding skills, and calm demeanor at a local dog-friendly eatery.</p>
<p>Described as vibrant and playful, Kiyojin loves basking in the sun, rolling in the grass, and showcasing tricks like “sit” and “shake.” He is also potty-trained and enjoys outdoor adventures, making him an excellent jogging partner or companion for an active family. After a day of fun, he’s happy to cuddle and shower you with affection.</p>
<p>Kiyojin has participated in shelter playgroups and may thrive with a compatible canine friend in his new home. If you already have a dog, bring them along to the shelter for a <a>meet-and-greet</a> to see if it’s a match.</p>
<p>To meet Kiyojin in person, visit <a>Sacramento County Animal Care Services</a> at 3839 Bradshaw Road, Sacramento. The shelter is open for adoptions Tuesday through Sunday from noon to 5 p.m., with extended hours until 6 p.m. on Wednesdays. Adoptions are first-come, first-served, so bring a valid ID and plan your visit soon.</p>
<p>By adopting Kiyojin—or one of his shelter friends—you’ll not only gain a loyal companion but also help free up space for another animal in need.</p>
