Story
Meet King, a loving, loyal 2 year old German Shepherd weighing in at a healthy 87 pounds. King is a house-trained and crate-saavy pup who thrives on routine and loves spending time with his foster mama. He enjoys the great outdoors, especially the yard where he can stretch his legs and bask in the sunshine. King loves going on walks, giving him the chance to explore new scents and sights. He walks relatively well on leash but he does have high prey drive so it’s best to keep an eye out for bunnies and squirrels. With a foster mom who’s also a trainer, King enjoys regular training sessions, learning new commands, and showing off his smarts. Toys, bones, and playing fetch are among King’s favorite activities. He especially loves chasing balls and playing in the snow! King does have a few quirks that will require a patient adopter committed to on-going training. King is a sweetheart once he gets to know you but he is initially fearful of new people and dogs. He will choose to avoid rather than confront people he does not know. With time and patience he warms up to be a loving and playful companion. Kids age 12 and up are recommended. King can be fear reactive towards new dogs, especially before he has time to build a relationship with you. Once you have a strong relationship his reactivity begins to decrease and he can walk past other dogs across the street or in their yards with no problem. King does do well with other dogs once he gets to know them but he needs a slow introduction. King is also reactive towards the television. His foster mama is working on it with him but he would likely do best in a home with limited television use, or someone who will crate him while watching tv. King has lived with cats but enjoys chasing them, so a cat-free home might be best unless carefully managed. King’s foster mama, a professional trainer, highlights that he knows commands like sit, place, come, and heel. He previously completed a two week board and train and will come with follow up lessons if desired by his adopters. Expect a few weeks to a month for King to fully adjust to his new home and family. King is adaptable in terms of exercise. He enjoys walks and playtime but won’t be overly demanding if you miss a walk here and there. He’s happy with a few walks a week and loves engaging in play and training sessions. King is a sweet, smart boy looking for a patient and loving forever home where he can continue to blossom. With his foster mom’s ongoing support and your love, King will be a loyal, affectionate companion. If you think your home might be the perfect match for King, he’s ready to meet you and show you just how special he is. His minimum adoption fee is $295 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. Wish Bone Canine Rescue  1303 Morrissey Drive Bloomington, IL 61701 www.wishbonecaninerescue.org           Since its our desire that you have a pet you can enjoy a lifetime of love with you, we take special measures to ensure that the pet is the best match for you and your family.  We require that you complete our online www.wishbonecaninerescue.org (Please give us 24 hours to verify your information).
