15. King
Adult · Male · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 23 mi from West Allis




Updated: 11/1/26
Dog Name: King
Sex: Male
Estimated Breed: Pit Bull Mix
Approximate Age: 2 years
Approximate Weight: 58 lbs
Spay/Neuter Status: Neutered
Adoption Fee: $450
Description:
Meet King!
King was left behind all alone after his owner moved away, but this sweet boy hasn’t let that stop him from loving with his whole heart. Now, he’s looking for a family who will never leave him behind again! King is a total love bug with the sweetest smile that will melt your heart! He absolutely adores people, and all he really wants is to be loved right back. He already knows how to sit, is housebroken, and crate trained. He is eager to keep learning with someone willing to help him become the best boy he can be!
Read more about King
King isn’t shy about showing affection. His favorite way to say “I love you” is by jumping up to give you a big hug! He’s still working on his manners as he’s used to a shelter setting, so he would thrive with an adopter committed to continuing his training and helping him learn. We have learned that King makes great progress all on his own when he feels safe and loved. When he’s not busy getting love, King loves spending time with other dogs and running around in a fenced-in yard. He would love a family who can keep up with his playful side while giving him all the love, patience, and guidance he deserves.
King has so much love to give and the sweetest smile to share. All he needs now is someone to show him what it means to be part of a family forever!

Adopting a large dog in West Allis
Large dogs need room to stretch out and plenty of exercise: at least one good walk a day, and a secure yard is a bonus. Check your lease too, as some landlords limit the size or breed of dog.
Start training from day one. A big dog who walks nicely on a leash and doesn't jump up is a pleasure to live with, and many rescues can recommend a local trainer.
