A volunteer updates:   King is the guy you see at your high school reunion after many years and say:  “You haven’t changed a bit – you look fabulous” (and you actually mean it).  And that’s exactly when I said to King when meeting him again.   He’s gorgeous, gentle, sweet, easy, likely housetrained, great on leash, quiet and calm.  Happy to make new friends with an easy tail wag and a gentle kiss….he’s royalty and it shows.  In group he was bouncy and engaged in running play. As we were returning from our walk staff was oohing and aweing over him and while  enjoying the accolades he was humble and unimpressed.   A true gentle giant in every sense of the word, King is looking for his forever home where snuggles, lovely walks and lots of petting are on the daily agenda.  King is hoping to settle into his new kingdom quickly, and we’re rooting for him.   Don’t just take my word for it – come meet him today.

BEHAVIOR
Helper948413
King was calm and relaxed during handling and when playing tag with assessor. He did not resist being handled while eating, and was easily pushed out of the food bowl. King was also easy to handle when chewing on toys and rawhides. He rushed in confidently towards the friendly dog, but showed no aggression.
Look: 2. Dog pulls out of Assessor’s hands each time without settling during three repetitions.
Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture.
Tag: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game.
Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw.
Squeeze 2:1 . Dog gently pulls back his paw
Food: 1. Dog calmly allows the food to be moved, follows the dish, but does not interfere with the dish’s movement. Dog’s body is soft and loose, eyes soft, tail neutral. He lifts his head when hand is pushed against his cheek.
Toy 1: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. He does not place his body between you and the toy.
Rawhide: 1. Dog settles close, keeps a firm grip and is loose and wiggly. He does not place his body between you and the rawhide.
Dog-dog: 3. Dog approaches the helper dog by rushing in with his tail high, stiff body, head tall, and ears erect.

King, oh King, what a magnificent dog you are! His majesty, King awaits patiently in his kennel. He is imposing at 93 pounds, well nourished and healthy looking. He has been very well cared for by his previous owner until his recent abandonment. King was found with a limp. He has recovered since then and walks now quite well and beautifully on the leash. No pulling with King, he is a very well behaved dog who heels, sits on command and knows who is the leader. King is without say very much housetrained. King might be royalty but he is also very sweet and likes to sit very close to his caretaker for hugs and kisses. He is actually a very sweet dog who in private behaves like a gentle pussycat… Shut… fingers on the lips… we will not tell. King seems fine with other dogs met in the street or up close in the yard. His stance is proud which is expected from a dog this size and this age. I am sold to King, a gorgeous , friendly and well mannered dog. He will make an excellent, obedient and faithful companion given a chance. King is waiting for you at the Manhattan Care Center.

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting royalty yesterday. King and I made friends (wished I had dressed better for the occasion). What an awesome dog he is. At first, looking at him (big dog), I thought to myself, I’m tired, I wonder if I can handle him. I needn’t have worried. His leash manners are amazing, he is gentle and delightful and perfect in every way. His coat is lush and healthy looking. He loves to smile and wag his tail, he sits on command and shakes paw – both of them! He is low key, gentle and easy to be with. He posed for his photos like a pro wearing a big pittie smile. A short while later a new volunteer came over to me and was going on about the amazing dog she had just met and walked. Well, turns out it was King! He is fast becoming a favorite, and does not lack for fans. King is looking forward to meeting you – we shouldn’t make royalty wait…
