King

My story

King is a sweet 1-year-old Blue/Red Heeler. In February, 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. IKing is now completely healed, and 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 is young and a herder breed, so he's super smart and energetic.  He needs things to do.  If he is left aone for long periods of time, his pent up energy just explodes when his people come home.  He is great with nost dogs, chases cats, and loves kids though he is too much for very young children.  He is jumpy and nippy but our trainer is working with him and will continue to work with any foster or adopter,  He is UTD on his shots and neutered.  An application for King is avaialble  at https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/57447/generic ##2344540##
