Update: King, a 9 month old pup, has been at Athens-Clarke County Animal Services since the end of June. I spent several hours with him the last few days and found him to be friendly to a fault. He hasn't had much training and is a bit rough, jumpy, and mouthy, but was very good walking on the nature trail around the shelter after calming a bit. After our walks, he was content to just hang out with a friend and be a great companion.
A crowded shelter is no place for such a nice pup. King needs to find a foster or permanent home as soon as possible, hopefully with an experienced handler that can round out his rough edges.

King was so happy to leave his kennel that he was a little bouncy, but this sweet guy is all fun and love. After some playtime chasing toys, he was ready to get on my lap, press his head against me, and be loved. His former owner said King is loving and friendly. He's house trained (used pee pads) and was good with the kids in the home ranging in age from 13 to 17. He's a sweetie who's ready to love a new family!
