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. ??To complete adoption questionnaire: https://hamiltonmcnj.seamlessdocs.com/f/AdoptionApplicationTo see other available animals: https://www.hamiltonnj.com/173/Pets-Available-for-AdoptionHamilton Township Animal Shelter cannot offer any guarantees on the age, health, temperament, personality or mental disposition of any pet.

She is shy at first meeting, but once she settles in, she seeks attention and thrives off of routine. So if interested in meeting her, please understand, she does not show well, but given some time and patience, she will come around and show great affection.    She has begun to engage the other dogs in play and loves to spend time outside in the yard. She does well being left alone with the other dogs, with no concern of messes or destructive behavior.     She does pull on the leash and will need some help with that, but that too needs to be made part of her routine. Zoey is a low to medium energy dog and is content to just hang out. She will pick a favorite bed and that becomes her spot.    Zoey does well riding in the car, was well behaved at the vets office and doesn't mind a nail trim as long as shes being scratched at the same time.   She is potty trained and will go to the door or even come wake you if she needs to go out.    Zoey has been fully updated on vaccines and received a dental. She is ready for a new family! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
