Oh, darling, let me introduce you to the extraordinary King James, affectionately known as KJ! 🎉 At just 7 years young, this fella has packed more life experience into his years than most—including a heart-wrenching journey that would leave many of us in tears. Imagine this: KJ bravely survived a gunshot wound to the face, a testament to his resilience and strength. After surgery in 2020, where he triumphed over adversity, he found a loving family. But life can be unpredictable, and through no fault of his own, KJ was returned to us when his family dynamics changed. Now, he’s ready to find his forever home once again! KJ is not just a survivor; he’s a medium-energy dog with a megawatt smile that can light up any room! 😄 Greet him with love, and you’ll see that toothy grin transform into a joyful welcome. KJ thrives on routine and will shine brightest in a quieter home where he can feel safe. He’s friendly with people, although he might take his time warming up—gentle patience is the key here, given all he’s been through. But oh, once he trusts you, he will be the goofball, loving companion you’ve always dreamed of, perfect for enjoying car rides and leisurely walks together! 🚗🐾 Now, let’s chat about KJ’s social needs: He’s not keen on feline friends, but he has done wonderfully with medium-sized female dogs and is likely to be good with easy-going males his size. However, he should ideally be placed in a home with older children, who can respect his cautious nature and give him the time he needs to adjust. King James comes with a royal adoption fee of $250, which covers his neutering, microchip, vaccinations, and even a complimentary obedience course at Cedar Run Company in Hiawatha! 🎓💕 Last Hope requires that all furry friends live as treasured indoor pets and maintain up-to-date vaccinations. Our detailed adoption process includes reference checks and a vet check, plus a home visit to make sure that KJ will thrive in his new environment. And if there are other pets at home? We will arrange a meet and greet to ensure everyone gets along famously! 💞 So, if your heart is ready to open up to this incredible boy, don’t hesitate! Apply to adopt KJ through the Buddy App today—your new best friend is waiting! 🥰
