Introducing the magnificent Kong! This 5-year-old, 65-pound Lab/Pit mix is a gentle giant with a heart as big as his body! 🖤 This handsome fella sports a sleek black coat, requiring minimal grooming, much like his laid-back attitude. You see, Kong’s journey is a tale of love and resilience. He was once welcomed into a loving home, but due to his owner's unexpected medical challenges, he found himself back at the shelter. It’s truly a heartbreaking twist in his story, yet he’s ready to turn the page and start a new chapter with a forever family! 📖✨ Kong is the kind of dog that meets you with a wagging tail and a smile that lights up the room. He adores people and effortlessly wins hearts with his sweet soul. Whether it's taking leisurely walks, going on car rides, or diving into playtime with his furry pals, he’s always up for it! But don’t be surprised if he decides to settle down beside you on the couch—he is quite the cuddler, often acting like a dog-sized weighted blanket! Just a friendly heads-up: this charming snorer loves to let out some adorable snores while he sleeps! 💤💖 Oh, and did I mention? Kong is smart! He knows basic commands like sit and stay, is crate trained, leash trained, and mostly potty trained, with only the rare accident. He’s responsive to verbal correction, though he might give a little sulk—aren’t we all a bit dramatic sometimes? 😄 This lovable guy enjoys balls, tug-of-war, and oh, mealtime? It’s the highlight of his day! 🍽️ Kong gets along well with both other dogs and cats, but he’ll need a fully fenced yard to keep him safe and sound; this adventurous dog might try to run off if given the chance! His ideal home would be a bit active, with respectful older children who can appreciate and understand larger dogs. Now, let’s make sure we mention that this darling boy is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $350, and it includes a lifetime of love and companionship. 💕🐾 So, if you’re searching for a loyal friend who is all about cuddles and playtime, Kong could be your perfect match!
