Alistair $425

Say hey to Alistair, a sweet, soulful 3-4 year old Mastiff mix weighing about 80 <br/>pounds who is absolutely convinced he's a 15-pound lap dog. If you sit on the floor, <br/>the couch, or even the edge of the bed, Alistair will melt onto you for cuddles - often <br/>placing his head (or entire body) on your lap for maximum snuggle potential. He's a <br/>world-class cuddler and fully committed to being as close to his people as possible.<br/><br/>Alistair enjoys running around the yard and playing, but is just as happy curling up <br/>inside for a long nap. At night, he typically sleeps at the foot of the bed... until <br/>morning, when he'll gently wander up and flop against your side to start cuddle time <br/>for the day.<br/><br/>He does best in a home with kids 12+, especially those who are calm, respectful, <br/>and give him space when needed. Alistair is incredibly people-loving - when new <br/>people visit, he may let out a brief low bark or two, but he quickly warms up and <br/>eagerly seeks out pets and affection. He truly adores his humans.<br/><br/>Social Skills & Training<br/>* Alistair does well with dogs about his size and is very respectful when other dogs <br/>aren't interested in play. <br/>* Dog-friendly & flexible. He would love a home with another dog to keep him <br/>company and be his playmate, but he would also be perfectly happy as the only <br/>dog, soaking up all the love and attention for himself.<br/>* Alistair walks nicely on a leash most of the time, but can pull when excited. He is <br/>strong but manageable with guidance and consistency.<br/>* Alistair is very food-motivated, learns quickly, and genuinely wants to be "the <br/>best boy". <br/>* He's currently working on keeping all four paws on the floor when excited - he <br/>jumps out of enthusiasm, not aggression. <br/>* He responds well when corrected and settles quickly. <br/>* He takes treats nicely and is learning better toy manners (especially with balls and<br/> hands at the same time).<br/><br/>Home Life & Personality<br/>* Good in his kennel, but prefers to relax outside of it<br/>* Has had no accidents and goes to the door when he needs to go outside<br/>* Loves toys<br/>* He likely had access to table scraps in the past, as he monitors closely what his <br/>humans are eating.<br/>* Enjoys being near his people at all times<br/>* May be occasionally startled by sudden noises or visual changes (like hoods pulled<br/>low over faces or loud street equipment). He will need patience and reassurance as he continues to settle into new environments.<br/><br/>The Perfect Home for Alistair<br/>Alistair would thrive with a patient, loving family who will<br/>* Continue his training and reinforce good manners<br/>* use positive reinforcement (treats are his love language)<br/>* Be understanding as he gains confidence in his new home<br/>* Give him plenty of affection - because he will absolutely give it right back, tenfold.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a playful adventure buddy who turns into a loving, snuggly<br/>couch potato at home, Alistair may be your perfect match.<br/><br/><br/><br/>If you would like to be considered as a potential adopter for one of our great dogs, please go to our website- (SEE PINNED POST) and submit an application.
