King needs a castle!

King is waiting patiently for his forever home. Always watching those around him getting adopted, hoping one day will be his turn!!

Do you need a running buddy? How about a playmate for yourself or your kids? Now think about this: what if you could adopt a 75-lb. running buddy and playmate who gets along with all people, dogs and cats; loves children; and is house and crate trained? If this deal sounds too good to be true, it is not! King is all that and more. The only reason he is with Furkids is because a member of his previous owner’s household was allergic to him. So ... if you’re not prone to dog allergies and you want a dog that runs and plays and can be your best friend forever, please consider adopting King.

Since King’s estimated birthdate is 12/17/2009, his adoption fee is $275 [senior citizens (age 62 and older) and military personnel receive a 25% discount on adoption fees]. If you want to know more about King and to speak to an Adoption Counselor, please complete an application at www.furkids.org.

Furkids is a 501c3 nonprofit charitable organization that operates the largest cage-free, no-kill shelter in the Southeast for rescued cats and a no-kill shelter for dogs. At these locations, animals experience the best care in a loving, safe environment until they are adopted into forever homes. The Furkids mission is to help end pet overpopulation in Georgia through sterilization, high-quality adoption and by providing valuable spay/neuter services and pet care education to people in the community. Furkids cares for more animals on a daily basis than any other local organization and has rescued and altered more than 15,000 animals since its founding in 2002. Approximately 1,000 cats and dogs are in the Furkids program today, in the Furkids shelters, 14 PetSmart and Petco adoption centers and more than 400 foster homes.
