This big handsome boy is Frosty and he is a gem! Frosty is a sweet boy, good with other dogs and cats, too. He really likes people and is a really friendly guy. Frosty came into rescue after he was found injured lying under someone’s porch and went unclaimed. He had some very deep puncture wounds but he has been treated at the vets office and he is healing up nicely now. They appeared to be bite marks but thankfully he is on the mend. Frosty walks well on leash and he is a bouncy happy guy - always happy to see his human or dog pals :) He would love a great home of his own and a family to love him. Frosty may have had a rough start but he has turned out to be such a great dog. He is currently in boarding sure could use a home or foster home to go to. We just love this big happy boy and so will you. We are not sure what his life was like before he came to rescue. Not sure if he lived indoors or out but he adores people so he should do just fine with a kind family to teach him all he needs to know. Please consider making this big happy boy a part of your family!

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.
