My story

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

Meet Saint!

A lovable six-year-old Alaskan Malamute and Labrador Retriever mix from Mount Vernon, NY, whose heart is as big as his impressive 120-pound frame. Wrapped in a stunning black and white coat, Saint embodies the perfect blend of playful puppy spirit and the maturity that comes with age. While he's more laid-back these days, don’t let that fool you—he still carries the joyful energy of a much younger dog, always ready for a game of fetch or a romp in the snow!

Saint’s playful nature is beautifully balanced with his friendly disposition. He’s adored by the neighbors, who often see him happily trotting around the yard or enjoying a crisp, cool day outside. He absolutely loves cool weather and can't resist diving into fresh snow, making him the perfect companion for someone who enjoys the great outdoors as much as he does!

One of Saint’s favorite pastimes is gnawing on his trusty KONG bone. He’s also got a playful streak that shows up when he’s feeling a little cheeky—he might grab a sneaker or a pen when he’s seeking your attention, inviting you into a game of “catch me if you can!” But don’t worry, Saint’s not one to cause trouble; he’s simply full of fun and always knows how to bring a smile to your face!

Saint’s sweetness shines through in the little things, like how he talks to you with different barks to express his needs—whether he's hungry, thirsty, or just looking for some company. He’s a big fan of human touch, often resting his paw on your foot as he relaxes by your side. This gentle giant is also well-mannered in the house, patiently waiting for his walks.

When it comes to other pets, Saint is as friendly as they come! He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is neutral towards cats, though he would love a playmate who’s more willing to join in the fun. With his medium energy level, a daily walk is a must to keep him happy and healthy. Given his love for exploring, a home with a fenced yard or even a farm would be ideal—Saint loves to stretch his legs and may not always come when called if he’s caught up in the excitement of his outdoor adventures.

Saint’s new family should be ready for a loving, loyal companion who thrives in cooler climates and enjoys plenty of space to roam. Whether it's playing in the yard, snuggling up on cool nights, or simply being your steadfast friend, Saint is eager to bring joy and warmth to a new loving home! Could that be with you?
