King the adoptable pit bull is looking for a new palace in Alexandria

By James Cullum

King is looking for a new palace.

The 16-month-old brown and white pit bull terrier is full of puppy energy and exuberance, and is up for adoption through the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

“King is a very smart boy who loves treats, and he’d be excited for the opportunity to learn new skills and tricks with his human best friends,” said AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter. “Because he’s a larger guy who doesn’t necessarily know his own size, King may do better in a home with adults or older children.”

King is currently spending time in the home of a foster family, so if you’d like to learn more about him or schedule time to meet him in that foster home, email [email protected] for more information.
