Hey, I`m Espresso!I think they named me that because I look like black coffee. I`m not super high energy like my name indicates, I`m actually pretty mellow and easy to handle. I`m good on a leash and I won`t yank you around even though I`m about 100lbs! I`m friendly and extremely treat motivated. And I like saying hi to everyone I meet, especially if they pet me. Please sign up to meet me today and I`ll love you forever!

Story
NAME:MaxxSTATS:Male, Dane Corso/ Mastiff Mix, 1.5 years, 115 lbs.TEMPERAMENT:Shy at first and warms up.Needs seasoned owner to work with issues (see below).Moderately ActiveInitially was told he was fearful of men, which seems to be he just needs slow introductions to new people where he can approach them at his own pace. Warms up quickly to men and women as long as it is done slowly and at his pace. Initially weary of strangers. SKILLSPotty trained.Crate trained.Older children in a savvy home only (12+)Has not been exposed to cats.Has not been exposed to other dogs and ideally looking to place as an only dog at this time.MORE ABOUT ME:Likes belly rubs.Needs patient proactive owner willing to work on behavior (see details below).Signing up for basic training will be a requirement to adopt. EXPERIENCED/large breed savvy owners required.ONE LAST THING:Maxx is a supersized puppy with lots of attention and love to give to the right family. He is goofy and loves to play, especially with an appropriately sized toy like his JUMBO Jolly-Ball. He loves treats and while he is a little on the shy side at first with new people, he warms up quickly as long as it is done at his pace. After the initial warm up phase, his true personality comes out. There is a playful side to him as well as a lazy lay at your feet side, although sometimes he may mistakenly lay on your feet in his attempt to cuddle :).Maxx initially had negative reactions when it came to strangers and pretty much everything new to him (including swaying palm trees). With reassurance, positive reinforcement in the form of treats, and looking to his handler for a confidence boost, his triggers have lost power. He will need continued socialization, desensitization, and training. With the right forever home, Maxx will continue to improve. He picks up on things very quickly and is very treat and toy motivated. He does need someone who will be patient with him, but also serve as someone who he can turn to for confidence and stability when he is unsure or frightened of something new for reassurance.

Story
We adopted Bailey in 2019 from the shelter. He was believed to be about 7 months old at the time. Bailey is loving and good with people. He loves to be loved on and needs attention. He would be a good companion for someone that is willing to make time for him. Bailey will not do well with other pets in the home which is why we have to sadly rehome him. He has periods of time when he does well with our other dogs and then at other times is aggressive towards them. Most the time this has occurred was due to food aggression, we addressed that by making sure food is not around when they are together. However he has become aggressive just because on rare occasion. Bailey also tends to have an issue with his hind leg which will cause him to limp periodically if he doesn’t exercise. Vet recommends light exercise.The person that takes him will need to be committed to taking him on short walks daily. He loves to cuddle and just needs time and attention in a single pet home.
