King - German Shepherd Dog Dog for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

Meet King

King is a 3 year-old, 71 pound German Shepherd who is looking for a soft place to land after his owner sadly passed away. With no family able to take him in, he's currently being boarded while we search for a foster or forever home.

King is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves attention and being around his people. He can get a little excited and may jump up when he's happy to see you, but he kennels beautifully and has been such a good boy while in boarding. King is also dog friendly.

He has spent essentially his entire life alongside his brother, Midnight, and the two boys share a very special bond. If the perfect family came along who could open their home to both of them, we would absolutely love to see King and Midnight stay together. However, we know finding a home for two large dogs isn't always possible, and they can be separated.

King is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, dog friendly, and kennel trained.

We're still learning more about King, but what we already know is that he's a sweet boy who has been through a big change and deserves the comfort of a home again. Whether that's alongside Midnight or on his own, we'd love to get King out of boarding and into a soft place to land.
