Adopt King a Black American Pit Bull Terrier dog in Columbia, MO (40769687)

Columbia, MO

Description:

King is an active, playful, and intelligent boy! He is the biggest cuddle bug and loves car rides with the window cracked. Tug of war is his game- he will play all day! He has lived with young children in the past and loved playing with them. His previous owner said that he does well with other dogs and cats, but is very playful and and doesn't always realize how big and strong he is! He's also very smart and know how to sit and shake, for a treat of course! His foster says "King is the ultimate snuggle buddy. He loves to be close, if not pressed into you. King loves to play fetch and tug of war. Once he wins in tug of war, he will bring the toy back to you and let you try again. King is an absolute sweetheart and wants to be your best friend. He loves to be outside and just soak up the sun or roll around in the grass. King can get excited, but is easily redirected with a simple no. He loves all the toys!! Kongs, stuffies, stuffies with no stuffing, nyla bones, and most of all, balls!! He loves to fetch them and just chew on them. King can be a very active buddy or a gentle cuddle bug watching tv on the couch. He is a very good boy and just needs a little time to feel at home. King sometimes needed some alone time. When this happened, he would go to his room and I would wait until he was ready to come out." --- Volunteers say "King wanted to play for the entire time. He would have played fetch forever if you let him. He was very much into tug of war as well. He seems like a fast learner. King just needs something to do as an outlet for all that energy." "It was great spending time with him and seeing King's personality. He loves playing tug and showing his energetic side but can also be calm and sweet and just want belly rubs." "King and I took a car ride over to Grindstone Nature Area and went on a hike. On the car ride at first he was very excited and tried to sit up front but after a little driving he laid down in the back and relaxed. He loved going on the walk and is super strong so a very active person would be best for him. He is friendly to everyone and is an excellent hiking partner." "King and I decided to go on a hike at Capen park and relaxed at my apartment the rest of the day where he took a nap. King was very polite, never barked, and was very curious at every person or dog that walked past! He just wanted to sniff them and say hello! He's a very good boy and knows how to sit. And he's so gentle taking treats. King also loves belly scratches! I think he would be perfect with any type of dog owner." "We went to Stephens Lake Park and walked around, then ended our time with a pup cup. King was excited to get in the car, and enjoyed the fresh air on his face as we drove. He was curious in the car but sat well. We went on a fairly long walk around Stephens, and King was overall a good leash walker - he has a lot of energy but the only time he pulled on the leash was when we weren't walking fast enough to get to the next thing to smell. He did not lunge or jump at anything, and never barked. We then stopped for a pup cup on our way back and he seemed to really enjoy the treat. King is so gentle with people, especially for a dog with as much energy as he has." "We went to Stephens Lake Park and walked around, then ended our time with a pup cup.

We also went on a walk on the Grindstone trail and went on a long drive together. King is very social with people and is very sweet and loving! He's somewhat energetic and needs to go outside but also loves his relaxation time as well. He can be outgoing for a little bit but after 10 minutes or so he needs to rest. I believe King would do very well with a family that will play with him and give him lots of attention, but also likes to relax and have down time."
