Someone has already placed a deposit on me. I'm no longer available.
King Kong is at risk due to medical and behavior reasons. King Kong has been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, as well as a UTI and ear infections. All of these conditions are treatable in home. Behaviorally we recommend he go to an adult only and single pet home due to fearful behaviors shown in the care center.

Let's get to know each other a bit more...
A volunteer writes: King Kong fits the definition of gentle giant! Although big and likely strong, he is a shy guy who licks hands, enjoys caresses and cruises on the leash. King Kong is calm in his kennel and comes right away when called. He is gorgeous, healthy, perfectly made and beautifully dressed. He does not pay attention to barking dogs and seems to find comfort in his caretaker. He just has a stump of a tail but he makes use of it when his head and back are being scratched. We do not know much about King Kong but it is clear that he likes human company! So, what are you waiting for? King Kong is dreaming to fall in love and is ready to be your for ever best friend! Come and meet him soon at the Manhattan Care Center!
