In the shelter’s words

DOB 10/16/23, weight 14 pounds Hey there, everyone! I’m King, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate chestnut Chihuahua mix fella with an adorable curled “question-mark” tail. I do best with lots of close family contact. Wouldn’t you know that cuddling in Foster Mom’s lap is my favorite spot and where I require plenty of quality time? I am devoted to all ages of hoomans in my foster home – adults and grandkids. I adore playing with the small dogs, and I get along great with the resident cats. I’m already crate- and house-trained, which is another bonus. I was happily situated in my adoptive home, along with my little buddy Boy, until my hooman mom was hospitalized and my elderly hooman dad could not care for the two of us. Thank heavens my new foster mom opened her arms and home to both of us until we can find a new home. My size makes me an ideal apartment dog, but I relish my daily exercise. Nothing makes me happier than for Foster Mom to invest her time and energy into treating me like a big dog. Now I’m ready to bring my happy and adoring self to bless my new forever family. Could that be with you? Then arrange to meet me today! I promise to leave itsy-bitsy paw prints all over your heart. HOPE ID D26-1016-0052 King’s $200 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for heartworms, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment for heartworms and fleas.
