If you are looking for a large dog to be your friend and protector, look no further than King. Rescue workers who have come into contact with King have called him a "dream dog", noting that he walks like an angel on a leash, always with slack on the leash, never pulling, and looks up to you for directions. A very large rottie, sturdy, strong, and healthy, he has a wonderful disposition. He is exceptionally people focused and loves everyone, a good attribute in a dog of this size. His muscles literally ripple when he moves. He is a joy to watch in action. He would love to go for long walks with you and would happily curl up at your feet each evening, his dark brown eyes regarding you with ultimate loyalty, his powerful body relaxed. King gets along other dogs too! He is fostered in Shippensburg, PA. No small children. If you are interested in King, please contact:
