Story
Meet King, a 2-year-old German Shepherd with a heart as big as his 87-pound frame. This loyal, loving pup is house-trained, crate-savvy, and ready to bring joy to the right home. King’s favorite activities include playing in the yard, going on walks and hikes, spending time with his people, and having fun with his doggy pals. King has made incredible progress during his time in foster care. Once fearful and avoidant of new people, he now confidently visits breweries, farmers’ markets, and other bustling places with his foster mom. He’s even been known to approach new people for pets! King has also worked hard on his reactivity toward other dogs. While leashed greetings can still be a challenge, he thrives in off-leash settings and loves making new friends. He’s done well with a variety of dogs in his foster home and would do best with either a playful companion or a dog that sets firm boundaries—he’s a bit of a persistent playmate! King would love an adopter who enjoys hiking as much as he does. Weekly hiking adventures are his favorite, especially when he gets to splash in water and romp with his dog friends. At home, King is a relaxed companion. While he used to react to the TV, his foster mom has helped him overcome this, and he now enjoys snuggling on the couch during movie nights. Occasionally, he may react to a dog on TV, but it’s rare these days. King is best suited for a home with children aged 5 and older. Though he was a bit of a cat chaser in the past, he’s made great strides with the cats in his foster home and has developed a solid "leave it" command. He would likely do well with a laid-back cat that respects his space. While King would love to have a doggy playmate, it’s not a requirement. This smart, sweet boy is looking for a patient and loving forever home where he can continue to thrive. To help him settle in, his foster mom is offering free training sessions to his adopter. With her support and your love, King is sure to blossom into a loyal and affectionate companion. If you’re ready to meet this special boy and give him the home he deserves, King is ready to meet you! His minimum adoption fee is $150, plus a $15 fee for rabies registration for McLean County residents (if 4 months or older).
