My story

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

Meet Baron

Baron is an 85-lb bundle of enthusiasm, heart, and goofy charm who has been waiting since January for someone to finally notice him. After many months in the shelter, he is now thriving in a temporary foster home, where his true personality is shining through.

Baron is a fun, spirited young dog. He gets spontaneous zoomies, bounds around the yard with joy, and has an adorable quirk where his right ear twists forward when he’s curious or unsure. It’s the kind of charm that makes people fall for him quickly.

Personality and Behavior

• Sweet, affectionate, and deeply loving once he feels safe
• Young, high-energy, and still working on impulse control and manners
• Can be jumpy and mouthy when excited
• Dog-friendly with slow, structured introductions
• Cat-friendly
• Smart, eager to learn, and responsive to guidance
• A big teddy bear at heart who wants connection and consistency

Baron has made tremendous progress now that he’s experiencing life outside the shelter. He wants to do well, he wants to bond, and he truly wants someone to choose him.

Ideal Home

Baron will thrive with an adopter who:
• Understands large-breed dogs
• Values routine, structure, and continued training
• Can help him channel his energy appropriately
• Appreciates a goofy, affectionate companion who will keep them smiling

Baron has been waiting a long time for his chance. If you’re looking for a joyful, loyal dog and want to change a life in a meaningful way, Baron may be the perfect match.
