Story

Come visit me at PAW! - Adoption fee $450 - Meet Han Solo, a handsome black Mastiff mix with a heart as big as his paws! Like his famous namesake, Han Solo can be a little cautious when meeting new people, preferring to take his time before deciding you`re part of his crew. But don`t let his shy first impression fool you—once he feels safe and comfortable, you`ll discover an incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loyal companion who loves being close to his people.Han Solo is a smart boy who enjoys learning and thrives when given patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. He is happiest in a home where he can relax, feel secure, and be part of the family. Watching his confidence grow as he settles into a new environment is one of the most rewarding parts of getting to know him. Like many dogs, Han Solo has a few quirks that make him unique. He can be protective of his food, so he`ll need a family that understands how to manage this behavior respectfully and safely. Because of this, he would do best as the only pet in the home and in a household without young children. Han Solo has so much love to give and is just waiting for the right person to see how special he truly is.

Story

Come visit me at PAW! - Adoption fee $450 - Meet Kody, a big-hearted boy with an even bigger personality! This handsome guy is still learning that he isn`t lap-dog sized—when he stands up to say hello with his paws on your shoulders, he`s over 5 feet tall! (Yes, we`ve measured... and yes, he likes to show off his height.)Kody can be a little nervous when meeting new people and appreciates slow, patient introductions. Give him some time to get comfortable, and you`ll discover a goofy, energetic dog who absolutely loves spending time with his people. Once he`s out of his shell, he`s full of affection, enthusiasm, and always ready for his next adventure.This big guy loves exploring the world on walks, taking in every new scent along the way. He`s incredibly strong, though, so he`ll need a family that`s committed to continuing his leash training and helping him develop good manners. Kody also has a playful, mouthy play style, so positive, consistent training will help him learn appropriate ways to channel all that excitement.Kody has so much potential to blossom into an incredible companion with someone willing to invest the time and patience he deserves. Because of his size and exuberant play style, he`d do best in a home without small children. While he has gotten along with both dogs and cats, his rough-and-tumble play could accidentally overwhelm or injure smaller companions, so any introductions should be made thoughtfully.If you`re looking for a loyal best friend and are ready to help a lovable giant build his confidence and polish his manners, Kody is ready to start his next chapter by your side.
