King's Story

Meet<br/><br/>King<br/><br/>, the deeply lovable frenchie/staffy mix with a big skooshy head and a heart to match. This 4 yr old, 40 lb dude is a certified cuddle monster, happiest when he’s pressed up against you like a warm, snoring gargoyle. His little piggy eyes, signature meatball waddle, and ridonkulous blep only adds to his charm; this guy is pure joy in a compact, wiggly package.<br/><br/>King came to us from Stockton shelter after being attacked by five large dogs, and was surrendered so the shelter could treat his wounds. He then came to us to ensure his life was saved and he could be in a comfortable foster home to fully heal. Despite this traumatic attack, King still gets along with the friendly calm dogs he meets and has a chill “go with the flow” demeanor. He loves making friends with people and is very sweet with kids. He’s the definition of an easy going companionship: sweet, social, and always ready for affection. He's currently being fostered with 4 small dogs. His foster mom describes him as a big giant baby, and even will sit up on his butt reaching out for a hug and to fall backwards in your lab for cuddles.<br/><br/>While he’s got a gold star personality, his breed mix left him with some genetic health risks that his future family will need to keep an eye on, and be prepared to treat if they possibly worsen throughout his life, but at four years old he’s managed very well, isn’t in pain, and trots along in high spirits! King came to us with a heart murmur and his back leg was still healing from his attack. We took him to several specialists to assess his health. What they found were some congenital defects that at this time don’t require major intervention. When the cardiologist evaluated his heart murmur they found that he was born with a heart defect and is doing well on heart medication and in a year will need a recheck. We’re happy to share these medical records with interested adopters knowing that any dog with pre-existing medical conditions requires important consideration.<br/><br/>King is truly such a sweet special dog who can’t wait to be your snuggle bug, and all of his silly quirks will bring any home a ton of joy. If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, meaty‑headed best friend who brings instant warmth to any room, King is ready to rule your couch and your heart.<br/><br/>Underdogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Adoption fee is $480. He is being fostered in SE Portland Area.<br/><br/>You MUST have an Underdogs Rock Rescue application on file to request a meet with an Underdog. An online Underdogs Rock adoption application can only be accessed at https://underdogsrock.org/adopt-a-dog .<br/><br/>You must be available to meet an Underdog at either your home or at the foster's location and dogs are not held for applicants or shipped outside of the Portland metro area. Home checks are also part of the process and can be conducted virtually.<br/><br/>For updates on all the Underdogs be sure to follow the Underdogs Rock Rescue Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/UnderdogsRockRescue 5/3/26 10:18 PM
