📝 Shelter Notes:

6/16: Initially lying on his cot, Kingsly came forward with a neutral body, soft eyes, and a low wagging tail. After receiving a few pets, he became very friendly and wiggly, even trying to climb into the handler's lap while seeking treats and affection.

6/19: Met handlers with a relaxed body, slow swaying tail, and soft smiling mouth. He walked well on a loose leash, only occasionally stopping to interact with other staff members as they passed.

6/22: Kingsly greeted staff at his kennel door with a gently wagging tail and calm demeanor. He allowed easy leashing, walked loosely to and from the potty yard, and was seen quietly relaxing on his cot inside his kennel.

6/24: Kingsly presented with a relaxed body and soft, open smile. He walked on a loose leash to and from the potty yard and remained calm outside, taking time to sniff around before relieving himself.

🚑 Medical Notes:

• Approximately 56 pounds

• Heartworm positive

• Neutered on 6/17 and recovered appropriately

• No current medical concerns noted at his most recent exam (5/9 normal)

• Vaccinated, dewormed, and flea treated

💙 Kingsly is a friendly, affectionate boy who enjoys people, walks nicely on leash, and spends his downtime quietly relaxing on his cot. He deserves the chance to leave the shelter alive and continue thriving in a home or rescue.
