Dorian is a very affectionate boy with the sweetest pyrsonality. He is a love bug who enjoys nothing more than to be petted and pampered upon. He will literally lean into your legs so that he’s nice and close so you can love on him. And if for some reason you don’t see him, he will pop out his massive Pyr Paw to say, “Hello, I love you! Pet me please!” He adores all humans, big and small, but he has a special fondness for the ladies. He’s sweet as can be and great meeting new people. This smart boy is treat-motivated, walks excellent on leash, rides well in the car, and enjoys being brushed. Naturally curious, Dorian is always up for an adventure, be it exploring all the nooks and crannies in the backyard, or venturing out in nature and around the neighborhood, this boy is eager to make sure you get all your daily steps! He’s ready for a good wrestling match with his canine foster siblings, and gets along with dogs of all sizes, male and female. He truly gets along with everyone and wouldn’t hurt a fly. - He even lets the frogs and other critters hop along in front of him, paying no attention. After a fun day of activity, this handsome boy enjoys hanging out and watching the world go by. Dorian is very calm and rarely barks, but he’ll let you know if there are coyotes or strange dogs at the fence line. His ideal home will have a tall and secure fence, and people who will shower him with love and attention!

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
