King

My story

King is a sweet 1-year-old Blue/Red Heeler. His mom passed away suddenly in her home. Then the police came, then the ambulance and the coroner. Sirens, bright lights, strange people in his home, not understanding what was going on, King was scared. The town had no animal control to help with pets at a time like this. The police felt that King was threatening the first responders, so they shot him in the face with a rubber bullet. The bullet pierced his nose and broke his jaw. The owner's daughter, Amy, arrived some time later and King was still laying there in the yard. She brought him home and rushed him to the vet. The bullet had pierced his nose and broken his jaw, which required surgery. In the past few weeks, King has healed remarkably well. King is an amazing dog who now needs a family to care for him through his recovery and for the rest of his life. There is currently a gofundme campaign to help pay his vet bills.   King may need some time to readjust after his trauma.  Before the incident, he loved kids and cats and most dogs, but he does need a proper introduction to dogs.  We are currently testing his behavior.   He is UTD on his shots and will be neutered on May 7th.   An application for King is avaialble  at https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/57447/generic ##2344540##
