My story

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

Please contact foster at b.lanterman@gmail.com

King is a sweet elder man looking for a home to spend his sunset years. He enjoys calm strolls through the neighborhood, long afternoon naps and greeting every person and dog that he sees.
•House-trained and fine being left alone during the day while I work
•Appears to be crate-trained
•Dog-friendly
•Occasionally likes to chew on bones but doesn’t seem to like stuffed toys
•Good in the car. Needs help getting in (if you don’t have a step) but will try to jump out on his own. He is fine being picked up, I don’t think he’s used to it but he doesn’t protest it or really react when you do
•Well-behaved when I gave him a bath outside with the hose.
•Likes to give kisses when he is happy to see you but not an overly affectionate dog
•Recent years seem to have been tough on his body as he has lost his hearing and some strength in his hind legs. He seems to like to hop off curbs or tries to hop off our patio which is ~2 feet off the ground so he doesn’t seem to be bothered by the fact that he isn’t as agile as he probably was in his younger years but I try to limit this as a precaution. He may not be able to climb up stairs unless they have some grip to them.
