Meet Stan the man! Beneath that fuzzy and cute exterior is a TRUE SURVIVOR!!
*(please watch the video attached to see what he endured as a pup-young adult :( **
Stanley, and his sisters/brothers/cousins/uncles/dad and various other relatives, came to us from HORRID conditions! With nutrition and skins issues that compounded his fear and mistrust of people....
With LOVE, medication, healthy nutrition and time, care, and understanding Stanley has physically healed from his ordeal. He is healing psychologically too! He searches out for affection and has finally decided people are not ALL bad!!!
The rescue peeps have worked SOOOOO HARD to heal and help him learn what it means to be a dog who is truly loved. AND HE IS!!!
Now, Stanley still needs a patient and understanding adoptive family. Someone who will take all the time he needs to know where he belongs, he requires another social and playful dog to help him continue to grow more confident and loving!!
Stanley is a perfect size, about 35# soaking wet. He won't take up too much room on your couch... but he WILL FILL YOUR HEART!!! ADOPT HIM!!!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
