About King

King is available for adoption in Texas! At one year old, this Basset Hound and Lab mix brings a gentle spirit and a laid-back vibe to any home. Though he’s still finding his confidence and can be spooked by loud noises, King is calm and settles in nicely once he feels safe. He loves running around the yard, going for walks, and basking in the outdoors. Playtime is essential for him; he enjoys fetch with frisbees and balls, tug of war, and gnawing on chew toys like knuckle bones, which keep him entertained. King is crate trained and house trained, making him an easy fit for most households. He does have a prey drive, so a home without cats is preferred, as he has a tendency to chase them. Additionally, he has a sensitive stomach and best thrives on specific dog food, avoiding treats that might upset him. King needs a patient and understanding family who can help him build confidence and assure him that the world is a safe place. With love and support, he’ll become a loyal companion.
