My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Major a 10 year old lovebug with a gentle soul and a heart full of devotion. He’s the kind of dog who truly cherishes his person and finds his greatest joy in being close to the people he trusts. Attention and affection are his favorite things, and he’s always happy to lean in for pets, soak up cuddles, and enjoy quiet moments by your side.

Major has a calm, steady presence that makes him a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend. He doesn’t ask for much just love, consistency, and a person who enjoys sharing their space with a dog who wants to be involved in everyday life. Whether it’s relaxing together at home, keeping you company while you go about your day, or settling in for a peaceful evening, Major is content as long as he’s with his person.

With his sweet nature and affectionate personality, Major would thrive in a home where he can form a strong bond and be truly appreciated with his person by his side.

If you are interested in adopting Major, please send an email to mollyweisner1@gmail.com to arrange an initial virtual meet and greet with the pet’s foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
