This cute pup with tiny pink spots on his nose is Cane, and he is simply the snuggliest ball of fluff! This little guy is definitely in the running for the best cuddle bug of the year, and if you let him snuggle with you, chances are that you will never let him go! Cane is an active, always-on-the-go boy who is always up for adventures. Be it behind the couch, under the coffee table, or some chartered territory in the yard, this little boy is more than happy to accompany you to investigate and explore. Cane is not hesitant about communicating his feelings, so his furever family may want to put it on cue and transform it into a cute trick to "talk" on cue. Cane loves playing with his siblings, and he hopes to have a furever older canine sibling to be his playmate and help him learn the ropes as well as a secure fenced yard to play in. Cane will thrive in a loving home where his people will continue to guide him with pawsitive reinforcement training so he can mature into the most pawsome adventure buddy he is meant to be!

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

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.
