About King

Meet King, a charming lab mix who's about 2 years old and weighs around 50 pounds. His playful spirit shines through during tug-o-war and while he enjoys his blanket. Although he can be nervous around new people and some dogs at first, he warms up quickly with patience and loves to be petted once he's comfortable. King is diligently working on his leash manners, though he might give that leash a chew or two. He does alright in his crate, but it’s not his favorite spot. Smart and attentive, he often looks to his person for guidance, making it easy for him to learn new tricks. He would thrive best in a calm adult-only home, ideally with a secure, fenced yard where he can feel safe and explore. Fostered in Frederick, Maryland, King is ready to find his forever home! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
