MEET KING – A HANDSOME HUNK!
King is a happy, playful pup who’s ready to bring joy, energy, and lots of love into your life! At just 9 months old, this big, sweet boy is full of puppy enthusiasm and has a heart as big as his paws. He’s still growing into himself and learning the ropes of being the best dog he can be.

All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
