Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Link to our online Adoption Application! You might remember King from our April 25th post when he was left abandoned in Milltown with a bag of treats. Just wanted to check in and update about his progress. King is just 10 months old and has already been through multiple owners. It's clear none of them put much love into him. We are currently working on some allergy issues he's having but are hopeful it will be fully resolved shortly with a change of diet and meds. He accepts his ear meds in exchange for a treat which seems pretty fair. King is always looking to his handler for direction and seems confused on how to dog. The minute he gets into play or the zoomies he stops and looks as if he's waiting to be corrected. Well not here! We encourage him to be his goofy puppy self any chance he gets while also giving him guidance. He's learning that jumping on tables is a no-no but trusting new faces is a big YES! His extra wrinkles and coloring all point to a Mastiff mix. Come on by and meet King! He really needs experience meeting new people and would benefit from visitors. He will be formally tested with other dogs this week. We believe living with cats is not an option for King. Visit www.woodbridgeanimalshelter.org to complete an online application!  The shelter is located at 195 Woodbridge Avenue in Sewaren, NJ 07077.  You do not need an appointment to stop by during open hours!   Mon/Weds/Fri/Sat 1-4pm Tues/Thurs 4-8pm Email us with questions!  woodbridgeanimalshelteradopt@gmail.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 30, 2023, 4:37 pm
