Mia

German Shepherd Dog Rottweiler

Female, Adult

Novato, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Sometimes more is more. Mia is a very big dog with an equally big heart and a gentle soul filled with enormous feelings. Shy, loving, loyal, wary, brave. All these describe Mia. She is indeed shy at first, loving when she's comfortable, loyal when she really knows who her people are, wary of other dogs and brave to overcome her fears and make adjustments.Mia is currently enjoying all the benefits of a wonderful foster home, where she is learning to trust. It seems that in a previous home Mia had less than ideal encounters with other dogs and those experiences made her cautious around her own species. Maybe you can relate. Because of this, Mia would prefer to be the only dog in the home (although a dog-savy cat may be okay). With very slow introductions, she may eventually come to become comfortable with a dog friend or two.If you're a big-dog fan (or even just a big dog-fan) and cuddly love is your currency you should get to know Mia. She's grand enough to hold all your love, loyalty and affection in one big beautiful dog.***ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED*** Primary Color: Sable Weight: 94.8 Age: 7yrs 9mths 2wks

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Titus, a one and a half year old Pit Bull mix who is essentially a walking ray of sunshine. If you are looking for a sidekick who believes every stranger is just a best friend he hasn't met yet, Titus is your guy. With a heart twice the size of his blocky head, he is the definition of "good vibes." His tail is a constant blur of motion, and he greets the world with a wide, infectious smile that makes it impossible to stay in a bad mood around him. He is a social butterfly through and through, boasting an A+ rating when it comes to getting along with both people and other dogs. Of course, every big personality comes with a few hilarious quirks. He is currently working on his basic manners and learning how to find his "off" switch, so he'll need a patient family willing to guide him through some essential training.The ideal home for Titus is one that embraces an active lifestyle. We also think he'd be great as a second dog, since he loves playing with other dogs and has energy to burn. He isn't looking for a couch potato life; he needs humans who view exercise as a hobby rather than a chore. Whether it's long hikes, vigorous play sessions in the yard, or engaging brain games, Titus thrives when he has a job to do and energy to burn. His perfect match will be someone who enjoys the bonding experience of obedience training and can provide the structure he needs to learn how to settle down after a big adventure. If you have the energy to keep up with a goofy, social, and endlessly lovable teenager, Titus is ready to reward you with a lifetime of loyalty and laughter. He is a work in progress, but the foundation of love and friendliness he offers is rock solid. Come meet this smiling boy today and see if you're the active leader he's been waiting for! ***ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED*** Primary Color: Fawn Secondary Color: White Weight: 56.4 Age: 1yrs 6mths 2wks

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Nic, a sensitive and remarkably smart two-year-old Border Collie mix who is looking for a thoughtful person and another dog, to help him thrive. When Nic first meets new people, he tends to be a bit shy, but with a little patience and a gentle approach, he warms up and reveals his loyal, affectionate nature. Because of his brilliant herding dog mind, Nic is not a couch potato and will need an adopter who can keep him mentally stimulated with regular jobs, training, or activities to channel his focus. He would do best in a home that understands the needs of an intelligent working breed and is ready to give him the guidance, routine, and purpose he craves. If you are looking for a dedicated, clever companion to share adventures and build a deep bond with, Nic is ready to meet you.
