Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


King is a protector. He was rescued from the streets and chose to love our family over the past 5 years. King does like many other people, except us, he also does not like anything on his neck, water, hoses, and will not wear a training collar or muzzle without having massive anxiety. He has bitten twice under times of stress, during a vet visit and during training to assist with his ability to manage public places and the vet. If it wasn't for him biting a family member during recent training, he would still be with us. Additional biting is a risk we have chosen not to take.

He needs a home that has no kids, but needs a family who is will to go through the training with him and accepts the risk that comes with training. He loves being on a larger property, coming and going as he pleases, sometimes sleeping his nights outdoors under the sun and protecting the home no matter what. We are devastated to lose him as a family member as he has protected us from snakes, and wild animals.
