Kingsley

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi, I’m Kingsley — a classic hound dog with charm, smarts, and a tail that never stops wagging. I wake up every morning hopeful for a forever home (and maybe a few tasty treats along the way). I’m affectionate, enthusiastic, and always up for a good walk where I can put my excellent nose to work sniffing out the world.

I may not be the rough-and-tumble play type, but I enjoy exploring, hanging out with my favorite toys, and relaxing with the people I trust. I’ve been described as “the only village dog okay with meeting new people,” and that makes me pretty special.

I do have a few quirks that make me best suited for an adult-only home with an experienced dog owner. I can be food possessive — though I don’t guard my bowl after eating, so structure, routine, and understanding are key. I’ve done well meeting other dogs, especially in gentle and dainty groups, but I prefer companionship over rowdy play.

I’m part of FOHA’s Senior Care Plan and some special perks to help make my golden years truly shine.

HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
I’ve done well meeting other calm, gentle dogs and may enjoy a home with a mellow canine companion. I don’t engage in much play but am social when the group is right.

HOW AM I WITH CATS:
No cats for me, please.

HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
I need an adult-only home due to my history and food possessiveness.

I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS:
Not specifically listed, but I’m a smart hound and eager to please when motivated by structure and trust.

MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:
I am housebroken and like to keep my spaces clean.

THINGS I LIKE:
Walks, sniffing everything, gentle human companionship, toys, tasty treats, and peaceful environments.

THINGS I DISLIKE:
Fast-paced or unpredictable environments, having my food space challenged, and being overwhelmed by too many new things at once.
