About me Hi there! I'm Stanford, a young fella with a heart full of joy. I've got energy that could light up a room and a goofiness that'll make you giggle. Tug-of-war? Fetch? I'm your guy! But I'm not all fun and games. I've got a sweet, cuddly side too. After a day of play, there's nothing I love more than curling up for a good cuddle. I'm loyal, too. I promise to be your most faithful companion, through thick and thin. Adopt me, and you'll never have a dull moment. I'm not just a pet, I'm a friend, a confidante, a partner in crime. I'm ready to fill your life with laughter, love, and loyalty. Are you ready for me? My adoption fee is a bargain! Not only do you get my unconditional love and a new BFF, it includes my neuter surgery, vaccinations, and microchip!

| 05/07/2025 FROM FOSTER: Stan is doing amazing. The last week we have gone to a few sniff spots and we go to pet smart once a week just to get out there with people and other dogs. At petsmart we continue on with the good pup training, practicing sitting, stay, heel. And he loves to get all the attention. We’ve gone on a few hikes before the weather starts to get hotter. Overall hes been doing well and has improved so much from being out of the shelter. |
| 04/23/2025 from foster: Stanny is doing amazing. He’s completed his Good Pup training! He’s a big cuddle bug and loves to get scratches on the top of his head. He likes to sleep in the bed and cuddle all night long. He plays all day and really enjoys treat puzzles and playing fetch. He’s progressed so much on the leash, still pulls at first but then knows heel and to have a loose leash. He knows sit, stay, shake, wait, leave it, and working on spin. |
