Mac’s Dating Profile:Name: MacAge: 6ishhRelationship Status: Emotionally unavailable… until you earn my trust.About Me • Looking for a single man to make me his whole world. • I don’t really do cuddles… but I do expect your attention. Think “best friend with boundaries.” • I need an experienced dog owner. If I’m your first dog, we’re probably not a match. • Introverts are my type. If you’d rather spend your weekends with your dog than at a crowded party, we’re already off to a great start. • My ideal human listens, respects boundaries, understands dog behavior, and is always willing to learn more. • Confidence is attractive. Ego is not.My Dream Date:Hop in the car? I’m already waiting by the door. Whether we’re going on a road trip or just running errands, I want to come.Active lifestyle required! I’m not a couch potato. The second you stand up, I’m ready for our next adventure. Runs? Awesome. A couple of long walks every day? Even better. If you’re always on the go, I’ll happily be your sidekick.Got a cat? That’s fine. I honestly couldn’t care less.Have another dog? Maybe! They just need to understand that my play style is… let’s call it socially awkward. Not every dog appreciates my unique personality.I’m muzzle trained, so I need someone who understands that a muzzle is a tool—not a punishment—and knows when it’s appropriate for me to wear one.Love Language:Quality time… with a little personal space.I’ll happily lay next to you while we watch TV, work, or relax. Just don’t mistake that for an invitation to pet me nonstop. I like being close to my people—I just don’t need to be touched all the time.Looking For:A firm, patient, active, knowledgeable man or childless couple who understands that trust is earned, boundaries should be respected, and every dog deserves to be loved for who they are—not who people expect them to be.I already have a great trainer contact who is committed to continuing my training, along with my current fosters who are more than happy to help guide/support my future family whenever needed.I’ve been waiting a really long time for my forever person, and I hope I don’t grow too old before they find me.

TROY

German Shepherd Dog Husky

Story

Meet Troy — a spunky young husky who is ready to bring everything you love about the breed into your life.Talkative? Absolutely. Obsessed with water? Yes. Ready to run? Always. If you know and love huskies, Troy is your guy.At his best, Troy is an absolute joy — romping through playgroup with other dogs, charming every person he meets, and filling a home with personality and noise (the good kind). He`s affectionate, fun-loving, and thrives with canine company, though he`s a little selective about his friends. Troy is working on his reactivity to other dogs on leash and behind a fence, so he`ll need an experienced home that understands the breed and can give him the structure and patience to keep making progress. A wrestling buddy at home could be a dream scenario for this guy.Shelter life is starting to wear on him — he`s losing weight and showing stress, which is why he`s been added to our urgent list. Troy deserves so much better than a kennel, and we know the right home is out there for him.

Story

It`s the notorious B.I.G.G.I.E.! Actually, he`s more like Ferdinand the bull, a gentle giant who just wants to connect with and be close to people. Handling him in the shelter he has no barrier or leash reactivity to other dogs and is easy to loop leash and walk. He`s gotten a little bit more jumpy with that of late, but he just came back from a foster and is probably pretty bummed about it.We are estimating his age at 3, but I`m guessing a little bit younger. In fact, he reminds this volunteer of my rottweiler who got to his physical size quite quickly, but needed a little more time to mature.Come meet this great big great guy today.
