Stanley is a 1-year-old Argentinian Dogo who’s equal parts cuddle-bug and high-energy goofball. Found as a stray and understandably nervous when he first arrived at the shelter, Stanley has blossomed into a playful, affectionate, and fiercely loyal companion — once he gets to know you. He may be shy at first, but don’t let that fool you. Give him a little time, a lot of patience, and a handful of treats, and you’ll soon have a shadow who just wants to play, learn, and smother you with kisses. Stanley is incredibly smart and picks up new things quickly, but he’ll need dedicated training and consistency to help him continue to build confidence and thrive. Stanley is a healthy, athletic boy who loves to zoom around the yard, chase toys, and then promptly curl up in your lap like he weighs 10 pounds (he definitely doesn’t). He’s a classic gentle giant who doesn’t quite realize his size and has fully committed to the “big dog, little lap” lifestyle. He does experience separation anxiety and truly bonds with his humans, so he’s looking for a home where someone is around more often than not. He’d do best with experienced dog owners familiar with the needs of large, powerful breeds like the Dogo Argentino — especially ones who can offer him structure, lots of exercise, and even more love. Stanley is ready for a second chance and a forever family that will help him feel safe, seen, and celebrated every day. If you’ve got the time, heart, and space for a big dog who gives even bigger hugs, Stanley might just be your perfect match.

Marshmallow is a great dog for a home with no other pets. Unfortunately, we have two dogs and it has been a struggle keeping the peace. She is deaf, knows basic hand signals. Honestly, hasn’t been any different than any other dog I’ve ever owned. I walk her twice a day, although lately she hasn’t wanted to go in the mornings on our runs. She is a bit food aggressive with everyone except myself. Great for an active family. She loves love.
