Story
We recently adopted Mistletoe/missy and it was stated shed never lived with another dog but she is good playing with dogs. As she has settled into her new home more she is becoming more aggressive to the dog weve had when hes trying to rest. They play fine. No food aggression no toy aggression. But is trying to dominate/be alpha in the house once they start to relax. She is great on leash. Not great off leash. Seems trainable. Have made some headway with that. Fenced yard would be better as she will try and get out to explore. Extremely friendly and sweet girl. Just needs to be a single dog home sadly. But play sessions she has no aggression. House trained. Crate trained. Enjoys toys esp ones she can chew on once settled.

Story
Hi, I'm Mater a 7 month old newfoundland cattle dog mix according to a dna test my current family had done! I love to snuggle and go on walks. I am very good on the leash and people tell me I'm a very handsome doggy! Unfortunately, I am causing some allergy issues for a child in my family and will need to find another loving family to call my own. I will spend short periods in the crate and learning to use it more. I occasionally have accidents in the house if my family doesn't notice me at the door in time. I do live with a cat and a hypoallergenic dog that are smaller than me, I like to play with them but haven't learned my own size yet. I love people but have a protective bark when needed until I give kisses. I have fenced in yard and enjoy sunbathing. Can't wait to meet you!

He's a social butterfly who gets along great with dogs and people alike, rides well in the car and sleeps soundly through the night. He's food motivated and making awesome progress with his training - he's a rockstar and will do awesome with an adopter who will keep him learning as he grows up.
