About King Arthur

Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today. Meet King Arthur! Once just a forgotten stray, King Arthur spent an entire year living in a veterinary clinic kennel where he selflessly served as a blood donor, helping to save the lives of other dogs. Despite giving so much, he patiently waited for a family of his own. Now safe and cherished in an Allie's Haven Animal Rescue foster home, King Arthur is finally enjoying love and comfort. This 8-year-old Labrador Retriever is the epitome of a “good ol’ boy”: he is friendly with dogs, cats, and even livestock. He gets along with everyone he meets, is crate trained, is learning potty training, and walks well on a leash. All King Arthur needs now is a soft place to land and a loving family to call his own. Ready to offer him the forever home he deserves? Make their next chapter their best one yet.
