Meet King, a gallant blue merle fellow who’s just shy of three fabulous years young! 🌟 After enduring a rough patch—yes, he was left in a hot car and suffered from heat exhaustion, along with collar wounds—this resilient spirit has found his way to a brighter future. Now, at about 80 lbs and on a journey to shed a perfect 10, he’s ready to rule your heart. And oh, that fluffy tail? It’s almost as big as the love he gives! 💙 King has been soaking up love and lessons from his amazing foster family, who’ve discovered what he truly needs for happiness. Picture this: a snuggly love bug who adores cuddles and is a superstar with older kiddos! 🎉 He's all about those cozy, intimate evenings on the couch, binge-watching your all-time favorite series. He yearns for a quiet space where he can shine as the solo star of the household, free from the hustle and bustle of a busy social scene. While he can be a tad skeptical of newcomers, King has a heart of gold, especially toward the lovely ladies! 💖 Slow introductions are the key, and he would thrive with a patient adopter who understands he’s still learning to feel secure in his surroundings. Now, let’s talk dog dynamics—King prefers to be the only canine companion in the home. He has shown some not-so-polite behaviors when it comes to meeting other dogs, so a no-dog policy would be ideal. He’s captured plenty of laughter, likely from his indifferent reactions to cats—though be careful; if they run, he might just give them a playful chase! 🐾 King absolutely adores the great outdoors and is eager for walks, though leash manners are still a work in progress—he wants to learn and impress! 🌳 With his herding instincts kicking in, he might try to herd running kiddos, so children aged 10 or older would be a better fit for him. King is housebroken and crate trained but has a bit of separation anxiety, so he’ll need a safe crate when left alone or someone around quite a bit to keep his spirits high. 💕 This darling is being fostered in northern MN, just north of Duluth. Could your home be the perfect haven for this lovely boy? Remember, King thrives on love and tranquility, so if you're someone who avoids large gatherings but craves quality cuddle time, King might just be your soulmate! ❤️ If King has captured your heart, don’t wait!
