King 41258 *sponsored*

KING IS A NEUTERED MALE BOXER/PITBULL MIX WEIGHING 64 LBS. AND WE ARE ESTIMATING HIS AGE AT AROUND 8 YEARS OLD. KING CAME INTO THE SHELTER AS A STRAY BUT HE WAS MICROCHIPPED AND WE WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY HIS OWNER BUT THEY REFUSED TO RECLAIM THEIR DOG. SUCH IS THE CASE WITH SO MANY OF OUR SHELTER DOGS. THEY ARE ABANDONED BY THEIR OWNERS. SAD, BUT THAT IS THE REALITY FOLKS. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT KING IS OLDER BUT STILL HAS A LOT OF HEALTHY YEARS LEFT AND DESERVES TO LIVE THEM IN A LOVING, CARING FOREVER HOME WHERE HE WILL BE APPRECIATED FOR THE WONDERFUL DOG THAT HE IS. PLEASE DON’T WRITE HIM OFF SIMPLY BECAUSE OF HIS AGE. THAT WOULD BE A MISTAKE IF YOU ARE WANTING A LOYAL AND AFFECTIONATE COMPANION. ARE WANTING A DOG THAT IS EASY TO WALK FROM THE MOMENT YOU GET HIM HOME? THAT WOULD BE KING. EASY PEASY WITH JUST A SLIP LEAD WITH NO PULLING OR TUGGING. I AM REASONABLY CERTAIN THAT KING HAS HAD HOUSETRAINING AS WELL. HE TOOK CARE OF HIS BUSINESS AS SOON AS WE GOT OUT THE DOOR AND SEVERAL TIMES ON OUR WALK. JUST BE PATIENT AND GIVE HIM A WEEK OR TWO TO ADJUST TO A NEW HOME. HE ALSO HAS ALREADY BEEN TAUGHT HOW TO DO A NICE SIT, STAY, LIKES TO SHAKE FOR HIS TREATS AND TAKES THEM GENTLY FROM YOUR HAND. HE IS ALSO QUICK TO COME WHEN CALLED. HIS ENERGY LEVEL I WOULD DESCRIBE AS LOW TO MEDIUM. WE HAVEN’T DONE A FACE TO FACE WITH ANY OF THE OTHER DOGS HERE BUT IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A DOG(S) IN YOUR HOME, THERE WOULD BE A MEET & GREET AT THE SHELTER. KING HAS LOST HIS HOME AND IS TRYING TO DEAL WITH BEING AT THE SHELTER. HE DESERVES SO MUCH MORE IN HIS SENIOR YEARS. PLEASE CONSIDER GIVING KING A LOOK AND SEE WHAT I SEE. JUST A WONDERFUL DOG THAT IS GOING TO MAKE YOUR LIFE BETTER AND HAPPIER. OF THAT YOU CAN BE CERTAIN. Please fill out an adoption application at www.cedar-rapids.org/animal. Once the application is approved, you will be able to meet with the cat you want to see. In order to be approved all animals in the home must be sterilized and current on a rabies vaccination. The spay/neuter surgery is included in the adoption fee of $125. * We always prefer that our animals go to indoor homes. *OWNING a pet is a lifetime commitment! Please be ready to make that commitment before you adopt a pet! *BREED DISCLOSURE: Due to the fact that most of our adoptable pets are strays, we cannot guarantee their breed. We list the pets breed as the one that best matches the physical appearance, temperament, and personality of the animal-in some cases it's purely a guess. The pet may also be listed as a mix when it’s actually a purebred.
