Looking for a home...

King has been at a Michigan shelter for a while and Illinois Birddog Rescue is trying to take this boy in, so that he gets a chance at a regular home life, a more detailed evaluation and to find a loving forever home.
Here is what the shelter reports about King:

My Needs From You

Transition to home: I should transition well
Affection level: I love attention
Energy level: Medium
House Training: I might need to be reminded
Grooming needs: Moderate; 2x a week
Reactivity: I am interested in new sights and sounds

My Social Skills
Sociability: I’m friendly
Children: No children
Cats: I'd prefer not to live with cats
Dogs: Not sure
Playfulness: I play sometimes

Things to know
I love to go on walks
I don’t like to share my toys



About Me
I am a middle-aged (6 yrs) English Settler. I am very affectionate and love to go on long, long walks. I’ve had all my shots, been neutered, I have a micro-chip, and I’ve even had my teeth cleaned! I’ve been to lots of obedience classes, but would love to go to more with you!

Personality
I’m a laid-back guy, nothing much seems to bother me. I cannot be around children, unless they are older (teenagers). I would prefer a home without any children, however. I’m a very loving dog, but sometimes I get a little bit funny like I won’t want to share my toys.

Are you the Right Home?
I have a medium energy level, so I need to be walked everyday; I am very polite on the leash too! I get along well with the dogs here at the shelter, so make an appointment to bring in your dog (if you have one) to see if we get along. I have a few quirks, so I need someone who understands me and is willing to help me get over those.

Won't you consider giving King a chance at a great home life? If so, please let us know if you'd like to foster this boy!
