Story
This beautiful girl is Siren! She is an extremely loving and a very loyal friend, we got her in April 2024 when she was just 5 weeks old and she's been with us ever since. She loves dogs of all sizes and cats as well, she also loves kids and anyone who will give her a good pat. She has never shown aggression towards any member of our household or any animal she's encountered. She really needs more exercise and space to run than our small home allows and we'll be adding a newborn to the family soon and we cannot afford to give her the care and attention she really deserves. She truly is a sweet girl and deserves to be with a family that will spoil her with play and exercise and loads of scratches. Siren has shared her home with our infant son and older cat, plus has played and spent plenty of time with older kids, small and large dogs and has always thrived with all the attention she gets from this large family! She loves long naps on the couch and meeting new friends on walks too.

Story
LOCATION: Des Moines, WADOB: 10/31/2022Meet Sirius Black, a lanky, lovable Great Dane-Pittie mix who’s equal parts goofball and cuddle monster. His name may evoke mystery, but Sirius is an open book of love, curiosity, and food-driven charm.This big-hearted boy thrives when he’s with his people. Whether it's wedging himself beside you on the couch for full-body cuddles or throwing soulful glances your way just to make sure you know you’re his whole world, Sirius is all about connection. He’ll follow you from room to room like your oversized, four-legged shadow—and when it’s walk time, you’ll know. He bolts to the door with enthusiasm that only a dog who truly lives for walks can express.Sirius is smart, energetic, and motivated by treats—he’ll do just about anything for a snack. Mealtimes are a highlight, especially when his food is served in puzzle toys. But he’s no saint in the kitchen: Sirius thinks counters are buffets and your sandwich is fair game. He’s working on manners and boundaries, and he’s learning fast with a consistent leader.He’s also still a work in progress when it comes to confidence. Noisy appliances are his nemesis—especially the massage gun, which he’s certain is pure evil. With patient desensitization, he's making progress, but he’ll need continued support to feel secure. He’s shy with strangers, especially men, and needs a slow, respectful introduction to build trust.Sirius has a strong prey drive, so no cats or small critters in his future home, please. He’s wonderful with other dogs, especially ones his size who can match his playful energy. In fact, having a canine companion might be just what he needs to ease his anxiety when left alone. He’s kennel trained and housebroken, but he prefers to be where the action is—he wants to be part of the family, not off in a quiet room alone.While sweet and affectionate, Sirius isn’t ideal for homes with small children. He’s got zero spatial awareness and a habit of using his big paws to make a point, so older, dog-savvy kids would be a better fit. He also gets mouthy when stressed and needs someone who understands how to redirect that energy constructively.The perfect home for Sirius is one filled with patience, routine, and activity. He’d love an adventure buddy—someone who enjoys hikes, beach days, or even a jog now and then. Mental stimulation is a must. This isn’t a dog who’ll be content lounging around all day without interaction or a job to do.Sirius Black has all the ingredients of a lifelong best friend—brains, heart, loyalty, and a truly impressive cuddle game. With the right home and consistent guidance, this curious, affectionate soul will shine brighter than ever.========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!
