All right ladies…. Here is your true King for Valentines Day! ❤️❤️❤️
This handsome guy is King, a boxer/mastiff mix around 2 years old. He and 7 other dogs (including Precious who is also up for adoption) were confiscated by animal control for cruelty and neglect. They were all living on short chains with no access to water or shelter and they were only being fed sporadically. We have "before" pictures of him -he was nothing but skin and bones, filthy dirty and full of hook worms and fleas. Despite this, his tail never stopped wagging -he seems to be very grateful to have been saved. After being treated for everything and being fed high quality food multiple times a day, King is now healthy and at a good weight and is down to just one meal a day. King is really a nice dog but at this time, we are going to recommend he be an only dog. Because he was bascially starved almost to death, he needs to be fed carefully and should be adopted by someone who can handle a strong dog. He is very friendly but we do not know how he would react if he felt threatned by another dog, especially if there was food around. For this reason, we are also not recommending him for a home with small children. This could easily change over time where he wouldn't feel the need to resource guard but there is also the chance he might always feel the need to do this. He suffered a trauma and is honesly, lucky to be alive. We really believe he will thrive in the right home. He is up to date with shots, neutered, negative for heartworms/on prevention, and crate trainefd. If you would like to adopt Kind, please submit an adoption application at www.myhstc.org
