Meet King!
King (A562081) is a sweet 3-year-old boy who suffered from barrier reactivity. King has been at our shelter since December, and is one of our unofficial longest residents. He recently spent some time in foster care, and this is what his foster had to say about this sweet boy: “King was excellent in the home! Very well potty-trained, able to hold it overnight and for extended periods of time with us out of the house. He was very kind and gentle with small children, letting them pet him all over. They were small children, so they did pull on his ears and lips, but he didn’t show any signs of aggression despite rough play with the kids! Extremely cuddly; listened well to sit, stay and come commands; very rarely barked. Overall, he is an incredibly sweet and calm dog with so much love to give.”
In the months that he’s been with us, his barrier reactivity has improved, but sadly, he continues to be overlooked. So day after day, King sits here waiting to be given that second chance. The chance to prove that he is a good dog. That he has a big heart to give. That all he wants is the love of a good owner. King doesn’t need a castle or a huge yard. All he needs is a little attention and a little love. All he wants is to be a part of your life.
