Adopt a pet

This gorgeous young girl is Natalie and she is as sweet as she is pretty! This happy girl loves people and gets along great with other dogs. She is currently in boarding so is likely to be new to indoor living but she is very neat in her kennel, so she should pick up house training easily enough. She is eating well and filling out so will be a fairly large girl. Natalie is a very sweet, good-natured girl who loves attention and affection and will thrive in a home with a family of her own. She walks nicely on leash and rides well in the car. We cannot wait to see this beautiful girl get a great home of her own! Natalie would do fine as an only dog or would be great with other dogs for companionship. She did well meeting the resident cat so she will likely do well with dog-savvy cats. She came from a very crowded Tennessee shelter where she was picked up stray and went unclaimed. Natalie is looking for a great home or foster home to go to. Could it be yours?

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.
