My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*****A generous donation by a kind family has further reduced Stanz'a adoption fee in hopes that he finds just the right family!!!*****
"He was a cute pup, just a bundle of fluff
and surely his family may have loved him enough.
But land he did at a shelter alone, waiting..." Well, waiting for you to give him that last line to his stanza. You know his big break in life, his happily ever after. Stanza is a happy, rambunctious puppy that just did not fit in at the shelter-well who does? They all must have had some sort of home at some point but then there they are, scared and confused. Thank goodness for the shelter to take in these poor lost souls and give them a safe place to land. Stanza like so many other dogs just is not settling in well there so needed to come into a home based rescue so he can settle in and just be a normal guy again. He wanted so bad to have some buddies to rough and tumble with, a yard to explore and some of his own people to help him feel safe. We are not at all sure if he is a purebred White Shepard, it is a guess, we have no AKC papers. But, he surely is a handsome boy. Stanza is all puppy and wiggles that just did not do well in a cage at the shelter. His family did crate train him at home so he is fine with that. He is looking for a dog savvy family with tons of energy and time to spend with this great boy. Stanza is sweet, loving, playful, smart and so loving and patient with the other dogs, he is a gem. His adoption fee is $350, now $299, now $250 due to a generous donation in his honor by a loving family, which is tax deductible and he will be going home with a bed, blanket and food. Stanza is 10 months old and about 45 pounds. Stanza will do better in a more mature household, perhaps with kids that are at least teens. Please email Kristine at joysparrows@gmail.com.
