Name: King Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd/Rottweiler mix Best Guess for Age: 1.5 years as of February 2025 Gender: Male Approximate Weight: 76 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with kids or cats but he can be tested if you have them. Currently Living At: DC area foster home King is Looking For: His forever home! Through no fault of his own, this sweetie landed in the shelter. He's eager to once again have his own humans for long sniffy walks, romps in parks, and all the adventures they can dream up - gotta burn off all that awesome young-dog energy! He'd love to make pup and people pals along the way. Quality kibble, cushy dog bed, chew dog toys - yes, please, to all those. But above all he wants to be safe and loved, to know where he belongs - and upon whom to bestow all those happy tail wags, to whom to pledge loyal companionship. Is that going to be you? Is he the one you see by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: King spent some time in a boarding facility in the DC area after his arrival. Staff at his boarding spot said he loved the staff there, was good with other dogs, and loved playtime. His foster says he is a great dog! He loves people and has been gentle with the children he's met. He's responsive to leash training. He sleeps quietly overnight in his crate. He's been good with dogs of all sizes, and does great at the dog park. AND - he can be super chill indoors - his foster brings him to church with her, and he sits quietly in a pew! Medical: King is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs. All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care. After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. King has completed the treatment and exercise restriction phase, and is now awaiting his six month follow-up test. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.
