My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet mister King, the royal pup looking for his furrever kingdom and castle to rule!

King, aka Kingaroni or King-A-Roo, is a teenager pupper who is equal parts sugar and spice for life! He had a rougher start to life, but since being with SAS, he has been working very hard on learning how to be the best boy and spends his days in foster enjoying his favorite activities: walks, belly rubs, tug of war matches, stuffie destruction, and wrestling with his neighborhood girlfriend!

King has been a wonderful house guest during his time in foster: He knows his ‘wait' command for meals, he is fully potty-trained, and knows which toys are his to chew. He loves to make himself cozy on his dog bed or on the couch when left alone at home.

On walks, King loves to sniff ALL the smells and the longer the walk, the better. He has even gone hiking once and thought it was a blast! He is a strong boy and his leash manners are improving every day (he can be easily distracted - did someone say SQUIRREL?!). Watching King get the zoomies and racing around the yard (or a SniffSpot!) is a true joy!

His nickname King-A-Roo comes from his bouncy skills. He can jump at least 3.5 feet in the air when feeling his oats! When a regular walk won't do - he and his foster practice doggie parkour!

King loves other dogs and would be delighted to be in a home with a dog who can match his energy and exuberance for life and play. However, people are his absolute favorite! He is ready to be your sidekick and forever cuddle buddy!

The only reason King is not a 'foster-fail' is due to his foster's hope to continue fostering future SAS pups in need. She loves this pup dearly and hopes King's perfect home is somewhere close! If you'd like to see more of King, feel free to follow him at @SASseafoster! You could be next in line to King's kingdom!

Pets are complex beings and prior to adoption, interested adopters will be counseled by a staff member to discuss the specific needs for each animal. This will include reviewing all known medical and behavior information.

** Please note that some animals will receive numerous inquiries, sometimes more than we can process. We appreciate your understanding and patience. **

HOW TO ADOPT: Check the animal's location.
