KING - SHEPHERD / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (short coat). This sweet boy hasn't had the best luck- he's been adopted and returned to the shelter twice now over the course of a year. The first was due to aggression towards the cats in the home and not liking the kids, and second because of housetraining issues that the adopter wasn't willing to work on. King came to us as a transfer from another over populated rescue. He is an approximately 4 year old, almost 55 pound, Shepherd mix, so he is the perfect combo of loyalty, and security! He is one of the most quiet, and mellowed mannered young gentlemen we have here! He is very friendly and really strives for love and affection. He needs a little bit of work on manners, as he sometimes likes to jump on you and give you a few smooches. He loves going on walks and walks nicely on a leash, rides nicely in the car and absolutely adores sitting with his humans. Really Young kids make him a little uneasy and nervous, so older kids 10 plus would make him feel more comfortable. He gets along great with submissive male dogs, and any female dog we've introduced him to, though he can be a bit nosey (pun intended) with the ladies. Like all new pets, he will need time and patience to help acclimate to a new home setting and he also needs some boundaries established. His previous Foster Home said he settled in nicely after about a week, and then starts following you around! He is looking for a home where he could be "King" of the castle. He is quite the diamond in the rough. He is a loyal sweet dog, and would make a great couch potato, and Velcro dog! His random zoomies are fun entertainment, and it’s almost like he is playing ”ring around the rosie” or “duck duck goose”. He has been in our care for just over a year. 365 days. He needs his hero to come save him! You want loyalty? ✅ Protection- he’s got you! Derpy-ness ✅ His goofiness really shines through out and about! *Reasons to adopt a black dog 1) Hair doesn't show up on dark clothes 2) Black is slimming 3) Black is chic and always in fashion 4) They're always ready for a formal occasion 5) They're easy to accessorize If you would like to meet me, please visit our website and complete the pre-adoption application.
