Meet King – Your Gentle Giant & Loyal Sidekick 🐾👑
Looking for a laid-back, family-friendly dog who’s all about the simple joys in life? Meet King, a 2.5-year-old, 72 lb Boxer/Pit Bull mix with a heart as big as his paws. This sweet boy is calm, steady, and full of love—and he's ready to find a forever home where he can be part of the family.
King is the kind of dog who moves at his own easygoing pace. He enjoys his daily walks, especially the long ones down to the Guadalupe River, where he sips fresh water, sniffs cypress trees, and watches the ducks glide by—without getting too excited. He hasn’t show interested in the water and has never tried to jump in!
He’s got a calm, observant nature that makes him such a peaceful presence to be around.
While he might not be chasing after every squirrel like some pups, he does have a playful side—especially when it comes to playing fetch! Toss him a ball, and you’ll see his eyes light up. He’s got a great return game and loves nothing more than lounging in the grass afterward, soaking up the sunshine.
You can get to see more of him in his adoption video:https://youtu.be/JiujuuRD2qc
King is crate trained, house-trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and rides like a dream in the car. In fact, car rides are one of his favorite things! He hops in like a pro, settles quickly, and usually drifts off into a peaceful nap with a smile on his sweet, squishy face.
He’s also a total lovebug with people. King recently had a day out with a petite senior friend of his foster mom, and he was a perfect gentleman—gently greeting her, hopping into the truck, and strolling through the park like a pro. He mastered his "sit" command and made friends with everyone he met, wagging his tail and radiating gentle energy.
Kid-tested, family-approved! King met a four-year-old named Kobe and was patient and calm as Kobe showed off all his best dance moves and Jiu Jitsu skills. They played fetch together, and King never once got overwhelmed by the excitement. He’s the kind of dog who can hang with the whole family, from toddlers to teens.
He currently lives with two other male dogs—one is 55lbs, young and energetic, and the other is a 24lb senior terrier—he gets along wonderfully with both. He’s respectful of dogs who don’t want to play and after boding with those who do, he will play in short bursts!. We think he'd do best with a mellow or medium-energy female friend.
As for cats—King is very curious, so at this time, we recommend a home without them.
At home, King’s favorite place is in the "man cave" with his foster family. He lounges on the futon with his dog siblings and foster mom, all of them gazing out the window, enjoying the evening peace. He’s affectionate and sweet, always ready for a cuddle, a gentle hug, or a loving look. He’s just happy to be near his people.
If you’re looking for a gentle, mellow, and deeply loving companion, King could be your perfect match. He’s well-mannered, affectionate, and will bring peace into your home. He will fill it with love, belly rubs, and slow-paced adventures.
💛 Adopt King and bring home a steady, soulful best friend who will adore you, your family, and every moment you share.
We are willing to test King with anything you need us to in order to ensure it's a perfect match for you. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care.

You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.
While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
