Meet King

King joined us with his packmates from our "Missouri 11" dogs taken into rescue after their lifelong owner passed away.

Like most of his former packmates, King has a great deal of formal training to his credit, but not a whole lot of life experience as a companion animal in a family home environment. He can be unsure of new people at first, but once he warms up to you, look out! He happily enjoys a good back rub and just hanging out on a comfy dog bed at home.

King would love a home with a dog buddy his size, but he is unknown around cats. He was bred to be a working dog and he is headstrong, so we recommend a home with no small children. Homes with older, GSD-savvy kids where supervision is the norm can be considered.

Unfortunately, King has tested positive for heartworm disease and will need to undergo treatment. He is currently intact but will be neutered once he has recovered from heartworm treatment. SGSDR covers all veterinary care costs for our dogs until adoption.

King is currently searching for his foster or foster-to-adopt home where he can get his treatment completed, learn about life in a family, and emerge healthy, happy, and well!

If you think King would be the perfect temporary or permanent member of YOUR family, please apply to foster or adopt.

Our Adoption Fees:
-------------------

*Dogs and puppies 12 months old or younger: $400

* Adult dogs over 12 months of age: $350

* Senior dogs over 7 years of age qualify for our "Seniors FUREVER" program! Seniors are special to us, so we offer two options:

(1) If your heart has a special place for the seniors, you can adopt a senior dog for the regular adoption fee of $350 and this becomes a perpetual fee. You can adopt another SGSDR senior dog at any time from us in the future at NO CHARGE.
(2) If you aren't sure about your future adoption capacity, you may adopt your SGSDR senior dog for a reduced adoption fee of $250.
