Send to a dog lover you know

If you want lots of love, I'm your guy!

Saint Bernard Mix


I am a fluffy, happy, playful and friendly guy. I love to be chased, play fetch, and go on walks and hikes. I aim to please my humans and I will always be by your side while you are at home. I am a loyal, gentle, cuddly guy who really just wants to be the goodest boy for his human. I would do best as an only dog so I could get all the love and attention from my humans.

General Socialization Notes:
I knows all basic cues (sit, down, off, leave it, come, stay). If I had to pick one cue to work on it would be stay. I am potty trained and never had any accidents inside the house. I am also crate trained and trained to sleep on my dog bed at night. I don't mind you trimming my nails, a few treats might help though! I love all the pets and belly scratches I can get. I walk well on a front clip harness but could use a little bit of training for reactivity to other dogs on walks and leash manners, in general.

Does Bernard like other animals?
I'd do best as an only dog. I really want all the love and attention from my humans.

Does Bernard like children?
I have been fine with children.

Favorite Toys:
I am a super chewer so I do best with natural rubber toys. My favorite treats are Simple 1 ingredient Salmon skins from Trader Joes.

Ideal Forever Home:
My ideal forever home would be somewhere where I am the only dog with a big back yard to run around, play fetch and be loved by my humans. I'd really enjoy an active family so I can go on lots of walks and hikes.


I'M ALSO AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!

Meet Jace! He is a 1 year old, Cattle Dog/Great Dane mix. He has had a rough start. He can be a bit fearful of men but has been working on gaining their trust. He is working on impulse control as well. He is very intelligent and very treat motivated. Once he warms up, he loves ear scratches, he is silly and he loves playing in water! He has done well with other dogs.

I have a heart of gold! I’m energetic and goofy, cuddly and kissy, and there is nothing I like more than being chased! I need slow introductions to new people and I bark initially upon meeting, but after getting to know someone, I am so friendly and sweet. I like my crate and I enjoy chewing on bones and sticks. I also like taking socks to my crate when nobody is looking. I'm a big puppy and scared of new situations and do best with a dog friend to help me feel safe. I love dogs but I can, occassionally, be selective. I want to play with cats but they don't understand my play bows. I am a sweet girl who just needs time, patience and training to be all that I can be! General Socialization Notes: I am playful, enthusiastic, energetic, and great in a car until I see a person or a person with a dog out the window, then you will hear my big bark. I react on a leash to people, dogs and wildlife and have been working on meeting people with one of my dog friends at my dog daycare. Play is my biggest reward and I love playing with my friends. Once I trust a person, I'm very affectionate but it does take me time. Does Zara like other animals? I am reactive on a leash when I encounter dogs and wildlife. I'm getting better at not reacting to people. I get along with my male dog friends at daycare and live with two chihuahuas, a shepherd mix, and four cats. Introductions need to be done in a proper way to ensure my success. I can be pushy with housemates with getting attention and I like to take all the toys for myself. Does Zara like children? I don't currently have any kids to play with, but with my enthusiasm, it might be best if I'm with kids over 8, just so everyone is safe in play. Favorite Toys: I enjoy playing with and chewing on a variety of items, such as sticks, bully sticks, tug toys, and stuffed animals. Ideal Forever Home: My ideal home would be one where I receive regular attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. I learn quickly and already know cues such as sit, down, touch, and crate. I would be a good companion for a male dog, but I could be the only dog in a household and be fine too. I need an experienced dog owner to setup introductions to new people and dogs and continue working with me on my confidence.
I live for fetch! Who wants to play with me?

I live for fetch! Who wants to play with me? I'm your personal adventure buddy with a heart of gold and energy for days! I am very playful, very sweet and I really love attention. I am a friendly guy but I will also look out for my humans. I do have alot of energy and will play endlessly. I'd love a family that will keep me busy! I do well with other dogs but I don't really like to share my toys. I would really do best as an only dog. No apartments please because I'd love a yard where I can run and play! General Socialization Notes: I am a very social pup. I do well with humans and I enjoy training. I love having a job! I am also crate trained. I do pull a bit on leash but am willing to work on that. I have been known to shred doggy beds with fluff or foam but mostly when I feel bored. I definitely feel much better when I get regular exercise. Does Draco like other animals? I like other dogs, I just have trouble sharing my toys with them. I have gone to doggy daycare and I have lots of fun. I think I might like to be the only dog in my home so I can get all the love and attention from my humans. I've also lived with cats and have done well with them. Does Draco like children? I haven't met small children but I have met teenagers and I've done just fine. I may do best in a home with older children due to my excitement and energy. Favorite Toys: I love all toys: balls, ropes, plush toys or squeaker toys. Be forewarned, I will chew/destroy toys quickly, even the ones that are made for intense chewers. That doesn't stop me! Ideal Forever Home: My ideal loving, forever home would be with a very active family that loves hiking and being outdoors. I'd do best in a home with a yard to allow me to let out all of my energy. I'd prefer a home as only dog to get all the love. Training is a must for me because I am very intelligent and love to learn. I'm looking forward to meeting my new family and sharing our lives together.

Georgia's on my mind - because she's the cutest pitbull this side of the Rocky Mountains. Will this rescue pup be your next forever friend?
