Meet Shep – a gentleman with a heart of gold! Looking for a companion with smarts, manners, and a touch of regal charm? Look no further than Shep, a handsome guy with an independent yet affectionate spirit. Shep’s house-training is impeccable, and he’s quick to get along with other dogs. True to his breed, he’s a watchful soul, offering calm companionship without being overly needy or vocal. While he’s not the best match for cats (he finds them a bit too interesting), he’ll make an amazing addition to a dog-loving household. Shep’s patience and easy-going demeanor are truly remarkable. Need proof? He calmly let the team remove stitches near his eye—no fuss, no drama, just trust. Whether you’re looking for a loyal hiking buddy or a calm companion at home, Shep’s ready to fill your days with love and devotion! - Written by K.P.

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.
We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding. Please visit Fostering FAQfor an application and information about our fostering program.
