King (from NYC)

*Name: King*Age: 8 years*Current Weight: 56lbs*Rescued from: New York City, fostered in CT*Adoption fee: $300Sweet King recently found himself out of time at an overcrowded shelter in the city with his hope just about to run out.After spending 8 years living with a family, one day they decided they could no longer care for him, due to no fault of his own, and surrendered him to the Animal Care Centers of NYC... then they just walked away. Heartbroken and confused, King's world was turned upside down. While in the care of the ACC, because he was so friendly, King was a "greeter" dog, helping to test the constant influx of new dogs coming in to see if they were friendly too. As his time counted down day by day, he won over all the staff and volunteers who described him as their favorite, a real peach, who is sweet, wiggly, friendly and happy. Unfortunately he had been surrended with a skin condition that needed to be treated. But between his age and his need of medical care, he landed himself on the euthanasia list... again, no fault of his own. This poor boy didn't deserve what was about to happen, so SNARR decided to take him in and give him the second chance he deserved. Now safe in a loving foster home, King has been able to recouperate and get the proper medical care and attention that he needed, and we have to tell you, he is flourishing and just such an amazing boy. Over the last few months, King has made a huge transformation and looks incredible. And what's more incredible is his personality. He makes new friends easily and loves to be with his people. He's a fantastic companion dog, so loving and just the most amazing cuddler. He finds comfort laying next to or on you, a typical pittie, he doesn't believe in personal space and prefers to be touching at all time. King enjoys going for walks (and walks wonderfully on the leash). He is always eager to make new friends when exploring the neighborhood. King gets along amazingly with everyone he meets -- dogs, cats, adults and kids. He's gentle and sweet with a big block head, and an even bigger heart. King listens well, is smart, and is eager to please. King is truly a good boy who deserves to know the comfort of a home to call his own.
