FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A dog with a royal name is hoping to find his forever family.
King, an 8-month-old, 28-pound mixed-breed dog, stopped by Local 10 Studios with Humane Society of Broward County’s Cherie Wachter on Saturday to show viewers why he could be the perfect addition to a home.
Wachter said King may be a mix of several breeds, including retriever, shepherd, dachshund or corgi, thanks to his unique look and short legs.
She said he still has some growing to do and is working through the puppy stage, including teething and potty training.
According to Wachter, King’s former owner brought him to the shelter after moving and being unable to take him along.
While King can be shy around new people at first, Wachter said he warms up with time and would benefit from obedience training to build his confidence around people and other dogs.
She said King could be a good fit for someone with a weight restriction where they live, including many condo residents.
The HSBC also highlighted Taco, a kitten looking for a home. His sister Pizza has already been adopted, and Wachter said Taco is a friendly kitten who loves attention.
Those interested in adopting King, Taco or another pet can visit the Humane Society of Broward County at 2070 Griffin Rd. or start the process online at humanebroward.com. Adoption kennels open at 11 a.m.
