King would do well in an active home with a strong handler. He is a big boy who needs to continue his obedience training. He would do well in a home with a yard so he can run around.Good with other cats? NoGood with dogs? Yes, with a proper/slow introductionGood with children?

UnknownHow long will it take to settle into a new environment? 3-3-3 rule: First 3 days - Your dog may be overwhelmed and may hide, have a lack of appetite, or test boundaries. Give them space and time to adjust in a quiet room with their bed, food, water, and toys. 3 weeks - Your dog may start to settle in and their personality will emerge. You can expect behavior issues to arise, so set boundaries and expectations with positive reinforcement training. 3 months - Your dog should be comfortable and acclimated to your home. They should know their routine and expect meals and enrichment at specific times.Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? Currently on anxiety medication, but may not need to be continued in a home.If you think King is the one for you - fill out an application today!
