Hello, my name is King. Nice to meet you. I am here looking for my new home. Let me tell you about myself. I am a cute, 1-2 year old Terrier, Pit bull Mix. I am brown in color and I weigh about 45 pounds which makes me medium sized. I used to have a home but they left me with someone and never came to get me. Whatever, I'll be ok. So now I am on the hunt for my new foster or adoptive home. I enjoy people and love to go for walks. I do pull a little bit and an EZ walk harness can help me out with that. I like to run and play. I will make a good running partner and a great snuggler. I am such a good boy, I do not have any food aggression and I am treat motivated. I could live with some dogs if you let us meet and get to know each other at a slow pace. How do I sound? Come meet me and my big ears, too!
