Adoptable Pets Of The Week: Shadow, King, Kevin, Shaka, Kane

ROCKVILLE, MD —For those looking to adopt a pet, a great place to look for your new family member is at Montgomery County's adoption center. The facility houses dozens of cats, dogs, and other adorable critters. And all of them need a furever home.

Here, we've rounded up a list of five adoptable pets for a series called "Patch's Adoptable Pets of the Week." This week, we're featuring Shadow, King, Kevin, Shaka, and Kane.

Name: Shadow - ID#A426893
Sex, Breed: Spayed female, black and white American Pit Bull Terrier.
Age: Approx. 9 years old.
Arrived at shelter: Aug. 18, 2019

Shelter Staff made the following comments about this animal: Shadow is a gal that's the perfect mix. She's been around the block a few times and knows how to live politely in a home, but she's still young enough to walk around the block a few more times! Shadow lived with another dog in her first home, so she could live with another dog if they're the right fit. She may also be able to live with cats. She's a very nice girl and could live with children in the home as long as they were respectful of an old gal's needs to nap and relax :)

Name: King - ID#A435335
Sex, Breed: Neutered male, brindle and white American Pit Bull Terrier mix.
Age: Approx. 10 years old.
Arrived at shelter: Feb. 15, 2019

Shelter Staff made the following comments about this animal: King is a super-sweet, well-mannered boy. He is laid back, but still has plenty of energy for a nice walk. He is affectionate and easy-going, and will be a wonderful companion for an individual or family. He is very house-trained which is no small feat here at the shelter!

He seems to get along with some other calm dogs (properly introduced, of course!). He did well on our cat test here at the shelter, so may do well with cats in the home, with a proper, slow introduction.

King can be a bit cautious at first with new people, and is a little uncomfortable with a lot of handling until he gets to know you, for that reason our behaviorists are recommending he go to a home with older kids or adults only.

Name: Kane - ID#A443119
Sex, Breed: Neutered male, gray American Pit Bull Terrier.
Age: Approx. 1 year and 10 months old.
Arrived at shelter: Aug. 22, 2019

Shelter Staff made the following comments about this animal: Kane is a shy boy that misses having a family and home of his own. He's a young guy that would benefit from confidence-boosting obedience classes. Because he can be a bit shy, Kane would do best in a home with children that are familiar with dogs or children that are older.
