When told “that’s a baby”, Stone is gentle with his little person. Having lived with and played gently with four children of varying ages, Stone is a family dog through and through and it shows. Quiet in his kennel, and happy when it’s time for a walk, he shows off his housetraining skills as soon as we’re out the door. Surrendered when his family lost their home, we’re told that Stone loves being bathed and brushed, slept in his crate without a door, loves all people and children, knows ‘sit’, ‘down’ and come’, lived with other dogs, and loves to cuddle with his person. We’re also told that Stone jumps up – like a bounce – when he’s excited, and seeing him do that is absolutely adorable. Nothing like an 87 pound dog doing little bounces! Beautifully taken care of, his coat gleams with good care, his weight is perfect for his size, and he came in my lap for some hugs and kisses. He pulls on the leash a bit, and thinks bird are there for his amusement, but he pays attention and is responsive to his person. Off leash in a pen after some cuddle time he sat at my feet while I took some notes. I tethered him in the
hallway while I got his kennel ready and he wagged his tail at everyone who passed, calmly and happily making new friends. I took Stone out again at the end of the day so that he could relieve himself before settling down for the night, and it reconfirmed to me what an awesome dog he is. He’s still crying for his people, not understanding where they went, but a new family with lots of love for him will heal his heart (and yours). His movie star good looks, and easy, fun, loving personality will make an awesome companion to the right person or family. If you’re lucky it could be you!

Every time I see Stone I’m reminded of what perfection looks like. Amazingly handsome in a gleaming coat, his face is soft and expressive, his tail always in friendly wag mode, and his entire body wiggles when near other dogs. Used as a helper dog to help asses incoming dogs, he’s great in play groups, always playful, tolerant, respectful and greets other dogs with good manners. With glowing comments from the family who had to surrender him, Stone is waiting for his new family or person to discover him. He’s remarkable and we’re in love. Come see for yourself and I guarantee you’ll be taking him home.
