KING (FROM NYC) - AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER / STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier / Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Mixed. *Name: King *Age: 8 years *Current Weight: 65lbs *Rescued from: New York City, fostered in CT *Adoption fee: $300 Sweet King recently found himself out of time at an overcrowded shelter in NYC with his hope just about to run out. After spending 8 years living with a family, one day they decided they could no longer care for him, due to no fault of his own, and surrendered him... then they just walked away. Heartbroken and confused, King's world was turned upside down. As his time counted down day by day, he won over all the staff and volunteers who described him as their favorite, a real peach, who is sweet, wiggly, friendly and happy. And because he was so friendly, King was a "greeter" dog, helping to test the constant influx of new dogs coming in to see if they were friendly too. Still, this poor boy didn't deserve what was about to happen, so SNARR decided to take him in and give him the second chance he deserved. Now safe in a loving foster home, we have to tell you, King is such an amazing boy! You would never know he is 8 years old, he has so much life to share and love to give. King is a friendly social dog, he's always excited to meet someone new and loves to be with his people. He's a fantastic companion dog, so loving and just the most amazing cuddler. He finds comfort laying next to or on you, a typical pittie, he doesn't believe in personal space and prefers to be touching at all time. King enjoys going for walks (and walks well on the leash), sunbathing in the backyard, and chewing on squeaky toys and bones. He's very food motivated and has yet to try a food he doesn't like. King gets along amazingly with everyone he meets -- dogs, cats, adults and kids. He's gentle and sweet with a big block head, and an even bigger heart. King listens well, is smart, and is eager to please. King is truly a good boy who deserves to know the comfort of a home to call his own.
