My story

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

KING IS CURRENTLY IN A FOSTER TO ADOPT STATUS SO IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

Qualities: affectionate, loving, conversationalist, energy level - medium, house trained
Limitations: hearing impaired, timid, shy with new people, determined

King is a Staffey or Dogo/Boxer mix. He is unique in that he was born deaf. There may be some hearing at higher levels but we are not sure how much. This does not prevent him from trying to talk to you though. Or sense when something is out of place. Or hear you open the chip bag! He is extremely smart and has learned many signs for things like easy bite, look at me, come, sit, down, food/snack, etc. You really hardly notice that he is deaf and I promise you will talk to him anyway.. King is a busy boy, either playing, seeking attention or just poking his nose into things. But he does love to cuddle and lounge around also. He is very affectionate and gets along with all the dogs, just very easy personality, but not high level energy. He walks well on a body harness but is timid and unsure about being outside. A short walk discovery walk is perfect. King is house trained with a dog door. He is timid around new people and will attach himself in new surroundings.

King is raw fed and naturally reared, and has blossomed on this protocol. He loves treats like apples in yogurt or bananas with peanut butter. His coat is snow white and velvety soft, and he has lovely green eyes. A gorgeous pup, King has to be seen to be appreciated.
