*STANLEY - BULLMASTIFF (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Bullmastiff (medium coat). Who Needs a Teddy Bear When You Can Adopt a 100-Pound Stanley? Stanley is a 7-year-old Bullmastiff, and somehow this very big boy has one of the softest, most sensitive souls. Stanley is incredibly friendly and sweet, but you can tell he's still figuring out that the world can be a safe and wonderful place. Give him a little time to stretch his legs and settle in, though, and that sensitive boy starts turning into one giant teddy bear. Stanley loves his belly rubs and massages. He has happily flopped down for belly rubs with multiple volunteers, even when two people are hanging out with him at once. Apparently, there is no such thing as too many hands when belly rubs are involved. (See photos below) He also loves his treats. Stanley may take them with his entire giant mouth, but somehow he manages to be incredibly gentle about it. He's basically a very large gentleman who hasn't quite figured out that treats can be taken with just the front part of his mouth. Once Stanley understands what you're asking of him, he walks nicely and checks in beautifully with his person. One volunteer recently twisted her ankle and ended up kneeling on the ground during their walk. Stanley noticed, came right back to her, and laid down beside her. For such a big boy, there is an incredible gentleness about him. Stanley has also done well in multiple dog-to-dog introductions! As always, we recommend thoughtful introductions with any future canine siblings, but he has shown us that he can enjoy the company of other dogs. Stanley is currently very underweight, even at 100 pounds, and could definitely use some good meals, TLC, and a comfortable place to finally settle in. There is something really special about this boy. He's the kind of dog who makes you want to spend more time with him, help him gain confidence, and watch his personality continue to blossom. He just needs a patient, loving person willing to show a sensitive older boy that he's safe, loved, and finally home. Stanley has already made quite an impression on the volunteers getting to know him, and we can't wait to see more of this gentle giant emerge. If you have room in your home, and maybe quite a bit of room on your couch, for a big, sensitive sweetheart, come meet Stanley by making an appointment at yoloshelter/dogs, or email adoptyoloshelter.
