Mastiff

Check out this wonderful update from Seamus's adopter: Seamus is now a healthy and happy boy. He's even gained 25 (much-needed) lbs! He is the absolute p-e-r-f-e-c-t dog, without exaggeration. He was house trained from the moment we adopted him and hasn't had an accident inside the house (okay, he thought our Christmas garland was a bush and decided to mark it...but that doesn't count). We take him everywhere with us, from farmer's markets to election night parties, and he gets along with everyone. He is the favorite customer at our local pet store, and the owner knows him by name and takes him from us (to love on him, although we're pretty sure she'd love to bring him home) while we shop. He is wonderful and gentle with children, and parents are constantly bringing their tots up to pet him while we're out on the town. He absolutely LOVES other dogs and we've have taken him out on lots of play dates. The enclosed picture is of him (in the middle) with his two best dog buddies, at our friend's farm. He runs around with them for hours and we all have a ball watching them. He also has taken to hiking with us. His first hike was along the rocky crags at Great Falls and he loved it! He also has taken quickly to being a "grand-dog" and is spoiled by both of our families (most of our Christmas gifts from family this year were for him!). We thank you all so, so much for your part in connecting us with this great dog. As soon as Seamus is settled, we look forward to returning to your shelter to find him a brother or sister. Best, Burke and Jennifer (and Seamus!)
