King George
Hello, my name is King George. My animal id is #17729. I am a male black dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 10 months old.
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 06-Jan-2018, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- moving – no pets allowed.
King George is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. Behaviorally, we suggest that King George would be best suited to an experienced dog home.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: King George is mad…about you! Lovable, loyal and just the right amount of looney, our King isn’t one to sit idle on his throne when visitors call. You’ll find him waiting right by the door, tail wagging wildly in anticipation of adventures to come. George welcomes friends of every species, size or age with a bushel of enthusiastic cuddles. In his previous home he lived in harmony with an 8-year-old child, played respectfully with other dogs, and had no problem sharing his toys or food, either. Easy to leash and a fine walker too, George isn’t bothered by the cold. When we hit the yard, he eagerly snuffles through snowbanks and bounces after a toy before running back to me for a well-earned body massage. If you want a pet who’ll stick by your side (sometimes quite literally) no matter what, then George is the dog for you. Oceans rise, empires fall, but you’ll see each other through it all, and when push comes to shove…he will kiss your friends and family to remind you of his love! A mighty spirit in a tiny package, King George can’t wait to reign over your heart and home for many happy years to come.
My medical notes are…
Weight: 42.6 lbs

If he escalates to mounting, people should immediately walk away from and separate themselves from King George.

Praying and sharing with lots of love and hope. #SaveKingGeorge 🐾💙🙏🏻

It takes a cold, empty heart to abandon a dog on the streets or at AC. And a colder one to abandon this most unregal and so achingly sweet little dude. About 2 yrs 10 mos old, King George is a 42 lb male:
🥁 King George earned a well deserved green beanie for acing his safer tests…woohoo!
🥁 lived with an adult and a currently 8 year old child whom he loved and engaged in played . They grew up together so he must be very stressed and lonesome without her. Poor pumpkin.
🥁 King George is playful with other dog as his photo-gallery show, engaging in lively play.
🥁 King George does not care if you take toys, etc. from him. He does not guard resources; “Resource guarding:: King George is friendly when his food, treats and toys are touched.”
🥁 cat behavior…an unknown.
It had been remarked in the notes that King George has engaged in mounting behavior. This is most likely related to stress. Apparentlh, King George is deeply disturbed by the abandonent by the family he had known his whole life and loves. He is also highly stressed by the shelter environment which is an abnormal and artificial environment. Dogs, like people react differently to stress. King George has already giiven indication of being under severe stress medically; his medical notes show he is currently suffering from stress related colitis. The current mounting is out of character for King George, and is, as his notes indicate, stress related which manafests itself differently from sexual ly motivated mounting; getting into a healthy family environment will remove that stress.
Torques me to no end that people, pardon the crudity, crap on their family members as this owner had done to this poor little sweetheart.
King George looks so puppyish in appearance I thought he was less than a year old not pushing towards three. King George wears a glossy black coat, but he is definitely not Gothic as the following brief description of life with K. George
Other Notes:: King George may be anxious when left alone too long. He isn’t bothered by thunderstorms or fireworks. He isn’t bothered when he is pushed or pulled off furniture, held or restrained, disturbed while sleeping or having his nails trimmed. He enjoys baths and being brushed. He barks when a stranger comes to the door and is friendly when a stranger comes towards owner.
For a New Family to Know: King George is a friendly, affectionate, playful, excitable. He has a high activity level. Previous owner enjoyed how playful and affectionate he is. His favorite thing to do is chew on water bottles. He will follow you around when you are home and loves to play with squeaky toys and rope toys. He enjoys playing fetch and tug. He is mostly indoors and sleeps in his crate. He eats beneful dry food and blue buffalo wet food. His favorite tretas are freese dried beef liver. He is house trained and may have accidents a few times a month . He also knows how to sue wee wee pads. HE is well behaved when left alone and may bark if left alone in a yard. He is crate trained and does well for 8 hours. He knows how to sit and stay and drop it. For exercise he likes to run with owner. He may pull hard on leash and when off leash he will wander but come when called.”
A simply gorgeous boy, well mannered, sweet, and affectionate
Who simply has got to get out of this place. Like in the song by the Ani als
“In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain’t no use in trying….
You’ll be dead before your time is due I know…”
But King George is trying and hoping to get out of this place and he needs your help to find a home where he can once again have a family to love, play with, and share his freeze-dried liver treats, and chaw on a water bottle ( must have been during or after jogging with his owner, part of the event.) And you can have a buddy and friend for life.
ADOPT OR FOSTER KING GEORGE.
I forgot to mention that King George is housebroken. But then you probably knew that as he is not only a cutey, he is a smart rascal too.
Adopt or fkster King George, please share him…do not let this City be his death. This boy is a doll.

There is a small black hunting dog that hunts tunneling animals, a sports dog. They are extremely smart. I recall reading that a owner was upset because the dog was smart enough to reach up and open doors by turning the handle and would also jump up onto the counter, to the sink and turn the faucet on for fresh drinking water.
But the dog breed has similar delicate features with large dark eyes King George is blest with.
King George is a strikingly-sweet faced munchkin. Hope he is safely out of there today!
