Wednesday Friendsday: Texas Humane Heroes' King Julien is ready for his forever family!

Wednesday Friendsday on We Are Austin featured King Julien, a five-year-old dog in need of a forever home, presented by Texas Humane Heroes. Volunteer Kelly Kaelin introduced King Julien, who quickly won over the studio audience with his calm demeanor and affectionate nature. Despite being at the shelter for several months, King Julien remains overlooked, though Kelly believes he is a perfect fit for many families due to his adaptability and gentle personality. While King Julien's past is unknown, his behavior suggests he may have lived in a home and is ready for a fresh start. Kelly recommends King Julien for families with older children, as he may be a bit shy around young kids initially. Texas Humane Heroes also shared news about their new dog kennel facility in Leander, set to open in mid-September, thanks to community support. The expansion will enhance the experience for both dogs and adopters, allowing the organization to rescue more animals. Additionally, the shelter is preparing for their 17th Annual Chili Cook-Off in November, a major fundraiser featuring chili competitions, a silent auction, children's activities, and adoptable pets. Kelly encourages anyone interested in King Julien or the upcoming events to visit Texas Humane Heroes online.
