At 8 years old, King Shady is a big-hearted Mastiff mix looking for a calm, understanding forever home. He may be a senior, but he’s still full of life and has plenty of love to give.
When it’s time for a walk, King Shady is eager to head out but settles nicely once he’s outside—he doesn’t pull on leash and enjoys lumbering along at his own pace. He’s social with people, calm and curious when meeting new friends, and enjoys gentle pets and attention. With his handlers, King Shady is affectionate—he’ll lean in for scratches, roll over for belly rubs, and happily soak up time spent together.
King Shady will need a home where he is the only pet. He can be reactive when seeing other dogs and should not live with children due to his resource guarding behavior around food. His perfect match is an experienced adopter who understands his needs and can give him a safe, structured environment where he can relax and shine.
While King Shady isn’t interested in toys, he’s more about the simple joys in life—steady walks, quiet companionship, and people who respect his boundaries. He has so much love to give to the right person who can see past his quirks and offer him the stable, loving home he deserves.
If you have a soft spot for seniors and experience with large breed dogs, King Shady might just be the loyal companion you’ve been waiting for. ??
