Handsome German shepherd losing his will to live as shelter life becomes overwhelming

Spread the love

King was surrendered to the Carson Animal Shelter by his owners who stated they could no longer care for him. He arrived on November 17, and he still has not had anyone interested in either fostering or adopting him.

When he first arrived, King had open wounds on his side, his ear and one leg. No explanations have been added where the injuries occurred, but he has been healing fine.

Sadly, the shelter remains overcrowded, and that means the dogs who have been there the longest are often the dogs listed for humane euthanasia.

A volunteer who has met and worked with King has this to offer:

He needs help quickly. He has the most amazing energy. He gives incredible eye contact. He’s super sweet and friendly.
