Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Parker is a 1 yr old Great Dane. To say he’s all legs is an understatement. Parker currently weighs around 120 lbs. He has no idea that he’s a big boy. Parker loves to romp around with all his canine friends. It doesn’t matter if they weigh only 5 lbs or if they weigh 80 lbs. They’re all the same to him and he loves them all. He even enjoys the company of the resident cat and parrot too. I think you get the picture. Parker is a social butterfly with his canine and other animal friends. We think Parker would be most successful with another dog pal in the household. Parker tends to be cautious with new people but given his space he can warm up quickly. He would do well in a quiet low-key environment with patient and gentle caregivers.   July 8, 2024, 10:58 pm

Merle

Labrador Retriever Mastiff

Male, Adult
Penngrove, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Merle, the lab/mastiff mix, has come a long way since he arrived. He has had hip surgery, gained weight, and is ready to be adopted. Dogs are so resilient, and Merle is no exception. Merle enjoys taking in all the beautiful smells that the great outdoors has to offer on his strolls. He has fun following or leading the pack of resident dogs, large and small. Although he is good with most of god’s creatures we feel bunnies or cats may be a challenge. He can also be a lounger, so, if you’re looking for a mellow boy that likes to go for walks, but also likes to hang out on the couch with you, then Merle is your boy. Having some experience with mastiffs would be helpful. While Merle is smart, affectionate, and eager to please, his independent and sometimes stubborn nature can present challenges during training. It's important to approach training with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement techniques.     July 8, 2024, 10:58 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sven the Great Dane is becoming the dog he was meant to be. He’s still a youngster, we think around 12 months. He’s a very happy, healthy boy. Sven enjoys his long walks. He has so much fun chasing a ball and the secret is to have multiple balls in hand - that’s because Sven knows how to bring the ball back, drop it and wait for the next ball to be thrown. He may also be overly interested in small furry creatures. We think Sven is just a great all round boy. He has so many wonderful qualities, the best of which is he’s a leaner and a snuggler.   July 8, 2024, 10:58 pm

So mellow, gentle, playful and loving. Bridgette loves other dogs, and calm around cats, the horses, chickens and other farm animals. The other day she was even letting the cat eat out of her food bowl. Bridgette gets along with everyone though she can be a bit shy for a second when meeting new people. You will not find a better dog than Bridgette.   July 8, 2024, 10:58 pm
