Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
King was very curious and comfortable around adults from the getgo. He was a great adventurer and walked great on the leash. He loved to hop on the rocks and sniff all around- he would be an amazing hiking buddy or walking buddy. He liked to lead on the leash, but seemed very in-tune with us and kept checking in. I’m sure he would do fantastic with a little training, as he seemed very smart. He met other adults with gentleness and gave kisses right away. He melted in our laps for some ear scratches and head massages. We are unsure of other dogs or children from today, as we did not have much interaction with either. He did seem a little nervous about getting in the car and whenever there was a quick, unexpected movement. Overall, King was a sweetheart!

As long the pet is spayed/neutered, you can take them home the same day.
