He lived with a 7 year old child and with him he was relaxed and playful and gentle at play.

A volunteer writes: King Tut indeed! Perhaps back in the day King had a person to fan him when he got too hot, but these days, King Tut is so smart he simply lies down under the park bench in the shade! King has wonderful leash manners and after a enjoyable walk to the park, and lots of fresh water to drink we hunker down on the bench (King under it), and as I pet him he semi rolls over for a belly rub! Too cute! King was surrendered by his person who’s moving where he isn’t welcome and we told that he lived gently with a 7 year old child, doesn’t guard his things, is friendly, affectionate and mellow, likes to play with balls and chew toys, is housetrained when walked regularly, and his favorite game is wrestling. King has an adorable habit of touching my hand when we walk as if checking to make sure I’m still there and happy…..such a good boy! He ignored other dogs of all sizes that passed us, as well as scooters, carriages, carts, bikes, you name it on a warm summer afternoon in the park. He wags his tail gently as I talk to him and pet him, and he’s so mellow and sweet I could have spent the entire afternoon with him. Obviously not a fan of the intense heat (who is?), he was happy to hop back into his air conditioned kennel. A lovely, easy, well cared for dog, King Tut is hoping his impressive resume and positive comments will bring him a host of suitors. We hope so too! Ask to meet him when you visit.

When introduced off leash to another dog in the care center, King Tut engagea in soft play. Previous owner did not cite history around dogs, so there is no is no available history of previous interaction with other dogs, and it is unknown how his behavior will translate into a home setting.
