WI DATCP license number 468162

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!
