My name is King!

King is a four-year-old, 76-pound mastiff mix brought into our vet clinic and asked to surrender. They had only had the dog for two days and had gotten him at a clear-the-shelter event where the dogs were given away for free. The dog was suffering from heat exhaustion and was limping badly, so the vet took him, hoping they could find a place for him. After calling several rescues they work with no luck, they called us. We had a volunteer in the area, and they stopped by the clinic to meet the dog. Immediately, you could see what a sweet and gentle guy he was. He looked hot and tired, and it was discovered that he was limping because his pads were severely burned from walking on hot asphalt. The shelter had done most of the vetting, including surgery to fix an eye condition called entropion. We had an available foster who loves this breed, so we decided this would be his lucky day. King has found his new lease on life and has acclimated seamlessly to his foster homey. He is calm, great in the house, seems good with other dogs, and is affectionate.
