FOSTERING IN NEW ENGLAND!

Are you looking for a young, smart, handsome midsized dog that wants to please?

Then King Kite could be the dog for you!

King came into rescue when his owner surrendered him so that King could have a better life. At that point he knew nothing about living in a house, but was found to be very smart and he quickly learned.

This boy is housebroken and no longer interferes during food preparation or when his foster is eating. He still will look for food on the counter if he’s alone in the kitchen, but that is definitely improving.

This boy has taken to obedience training like a champ! He’s learned sit, down and wait to be given permission to do something.

King also will go into his crate on command, and sleeps quietly there all night. However, he prefers to sleep on the bed cuddled next to his person if that is OK with you.

He’s working on leash walking, and has responded well to an Easy Walk harness, but he will still need more work on leash walking for a while, especially in stimulating surroundings.

King is doing quite well in quiet familiar places. In new areas or with excessive goings on, he still gets very excited and needs reinforcement of his training.

KK gets along well with other dogs, but does sometimes want to play very rough, so if he’s to have a canine sibling, we would suggest one around his size or larger. He is very definitely human oriented, so also should do well as an only dog.

Cats aren’t a definite yes or no. There are certainly cats he can live with – he lived with dog savvy cats in the south – but he was definitely cat-curious (this means he REALLY wants to check out the cats). He didn’t show any aggression, but some cats do not care to be part of puppy playtime. We do not know how he would act around a cat who doesn’t understand dogs. Of course as time passes he’s learning more adult behavior and could be cat tested again if needed.

King has never shown any signs of aggression. He absolutely loves children, but his size and activity level suggest he should live with children who are at least 12, although he should also be fine with dog savvy children 6 and over.

This boy loves car rides! He also enjoys hard chews. No soft toys for him, please – he destroys them and will then eat the pieces if he can! He is very food motivated, which makes teaching him new things quite easy.

An ideal home for him would include a fenced yard where he could run off excess energy, or if unfenced, an active family with whom he could hike or run.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need
