Meet King, a 1-year-old male Black Mouth Cur currently at the Santa Maria Campus in Santa Barbara, CA, and ready for a new home. Despite the changes in his life, King has stayed affectionate and loyal. He arrived at the shelter due to his previous owner's challenges but is now eager for a fresh start. King is crate trained and knows how to sit. He loves car rides and hops in and out of vehicles like a pro. Out and about, he's calm around kids and other dogs, making him an excellent adventure buddy. Though he can get a bit excitable on a leash, he's keen to learn and will come with complimentary basic manners classes to sharpen his skills. His favorite activities include belly rubs, cuddling, and spending quality time with people. King prefers respectful dog companions who align with his play style. He's adapted well in interactions and seeks a family that appreciates larger breeds and understands the significance of building trust over time. Underneath his sturdy exterior is a sensitive and loving dog who desires a place to call home. If you’re looking for a devoted friend who's all about companionship and fun, King might just be your perfect match. Adoptions are open daily from 12 PM to 4:30 PM. When adopted, King will be neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. You'll also receive a certificate for a post-adoption vet exam and a supply of food to start him off in his new home. Give this deserving pup a chance at a loving home!
