King is a sweet, social boy who wants to be your one and only! When we first met, his shy exterior melted away to reveal a goofy boy who loves snacks and petting. King will rush out and smush himself as close as he can get to you, while you scratch his neck. King has been working on learning his 'sit', as well as how to 'leave it'! He is the smartest boy and would love to expand his repertoire with you! Once you meet him, this sweet, honey-colored boy is bound to become King of your heart.
