The Anne Arundel County Department of Aging and Disabilities in partnership with Senior Dog Sanctuary is proud to present the Dog of the Month, King! Each month we will showcase an available senior dog for adoption. If interested please fill out an application at www.seniordogsanctuary.com.

Meet King!

A True Gentle Giant with a Heart of Gold!

King is a 10-year-old sweetheart who’s equal parts goofy and handsome. With his expressive face and playful personality, this lovable boy is guaranteed to bring joy and laughter into your life. Though he’s a dignified senior, don’t let his age fool you, King still has plenty of pep in his step and loves to romp around like a pup, especially when toys are involved. He’s never met a cuddle he didn’t like and is happiest when he’s close to his people, offering loyal companionship and the best snuggles around. While King hasn’t had much experience with other dogs, his gentle nature shines through in every interaction. He’s affectionate, devoted, and ready to be someone’s best friend.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a playful spirit and a heart of gold, come meet King - you might just find your perfect match.
