My story

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

Guinness is a shy and undersocialized big puppy who was found stray in the mountains with his brother. He is kind and gentle by nature and very similar in personality to his brother but a little braver about people. Given some space and time, he warms up to humans and comes seek pets around his ears and chin and sometimes on his head. He is learning to play with toys and seems to like stuff to chew on. He likes to spend some time in the kiddie pool.

A home is a brand-new environment to Guinness, but he is adjusting. He enjoys lying in the shade of a tree and loves to play with other dogs of all sizes. Inside he still gets to be supervised and kept from engaging in puppy antics. Already he will alert to go outside to potty. He knows to lie down in the kennel at bedtime. His foster mom is working on getting him over his fear of the leash and not spook at all loud and strange noises.

We don’t know how he is with cats or with children.

He will need a home with a fenced yard.

Guinness was estimated to be around 8 months old at the beginning of August. He is a large dog, approx. 70 lbs is a guess, tall and lean. His breeds are unknown but he looks like he has some sighthound in him and moves like a Scottish deerhound or Afghan or something like that. He also has that quiet demeanor often seen on those breeds.
