Leader pet of the day: King

If you like perky ears, a great coat and an oh-so handsome face, King might be the dog for you. He is a 2 1/2-year-old, gold-and-white Chihuahua/Welsh Corgi mix with loads of energy and lots to talk about.

This little guy is a big fan of people and gets along great with other small dogs, too. Playtime and daily exercise will bond you forever to this fun, sprightly pup and will make training and naptime a whole lot more enjoyable.

Inside scoop alert: King came into the shelter with his great aunt, Sissy, A054525. They are very close, and it would be ideal for them to be adopted together.

Is it time to take your furry fun factor to the next level? Come meet King, A054524! And say hi to Sissy too.
