LOCATION: Converse, Texas
DOB:11/13/2022 (Estimate)


My name is King Kong. Kong for short. I am in the San Antonio area–yee haw! I’m a Dane/lab mix and weigh in at 55 lbs. I’m black with some white thrown in on one of my toes and a little under me. I may not be as big as a Great Dane, but I am a strong fella and my personality is bigger than life! My general personality is ALL PUPPY thrown in with some play! 


During my freedom ride, I got to hang out with some kids, and I did great. My foster mom tells me what a sweet boy I am all the time! I love people! I love when I get pets and scratches. Standing beside my momma’s chair and receiving scruffles and kisses just makes my day. Sometimes I like to just lay my head on her arm and she rubs on me.

In a short time, I’ve learned about the good life and I’m loving it! I have a lot of energy, I like to explore everything, and I am learning my boundaries. I like to steal things and think it’s fun to be chased. I still like to chew so she has put away all the stuff I’m not allowed to have.


I love love my toys!  In the beginning, I was protective of them. My foster mom thinks it was because I was insecure and experiencing so many new things at once. Now I like to play with my momma and even make up my own games. My foster mom laughs when I stand behind her chair and drop my ball down her back so she will throw it. My favorite toy is the Kong tennis ball and my mom says I get to take that with me when I find my forever home.


Car rides scare me some, but my foster mom is working on that with me. I will get into the car for a treat, but I don’t look out the window or anything like that. I am also scared to walk near the street so my foster mom walks me around the front yard to get me used to it. I need more work on the leash thing. I don’t like when someone grabs my collar. I won’t bite or anything mean, but I will try to wiggle out of it. I like to jump up on people and I don’t do it hard, but my foster mom tells me that is a bad idea anyway. I like nibbling on her hands, chin, and ears, but she won’t let me do that either. She can be bossy sometimes!


I have to take turns with my foster furry sibling being in the house. If we are in the house together, I stay on my leash. I don’t particularly like my neighbor dogs either, they are pretty yappy. My ideal home would be an only dog for now. I might learn that playing with other dogs is fun, I just need time. I’m not sure what a cat is, so I don’t know if I like them. I’m still working on crate training. I will go in for a treat. Sometimes I will go in on my own. But treats are better! My foster mom comes home from work every day at lunch to let me outside to go potty. I am potty trained and go to the door when I want to go out, but I still haven’t learned to tell her I’m at the door. 


My ideal home would be an active family because I get bored easily and like to have fun. I probably wouldn’t do as well with babies because I am still excitable; maybe like 5 years old and up. I am still working on basic commands. I haven’t mastered “sit” yet because I don’t like when someone presses on my bottom. I’m a little hardheaded (OK, maybe a lot), but I’m pretty smart. I know what NO is and I come when called most of the time. I like when mom whistles. I come running as fast as I can.


I wasn’t used to having a loving family, but I’m liking it and don’t ever want to have my old life again. I would love to find my forever home and be part of a family. If you would like to meet me, please contact the nice people at Save Rocky. They are my heroes!
