Reacher's Story
Reacher is a 1-year-old male Mastiff mix who was surrendered to us through no fault of his own. He spent the first year of his life in a loving home, but life can change quickly, and his owners had to make the heartbreaking decision to bring him back to the shelter. Now, Reacher is waiting patiently in a foster home until his forever family finds him.<br/><br/>Reacher is an absolute lover and cuddler, with lots of puppy still left in him. He does need some time to warm up to new people and may shake until he feels safe, but once he trusts you, his affectionate and gentle nature shines through. He bonds deeply with his people and thrives on companionship.<br/><br/>He is fantastic with kids and truly enjoys being part of family life—jumping on the trampoline, playing in the hose, fetch, cuddling, dressing up, and simply being included. Reacher does well with other dogs of all sizes and loves to play. He has shown interest in hamsters and guinea pigs, but does not seem bothered by cats.<br/><br/>Reacher is still learning proper leash manners, but walks well without pulling. He loves car rides and rides calmly with his seat belt on.<br/><br/>This handsome guy currently weighs around 115 lbs, and while he is large and impressive, his heart is even bigger. We believe he is a Mastiff mix, possibly Cane Corso or Great Dane, and he carries himself with the gentle, affectionate demeanor these breeds are known for.<br/><br/>Reacher is very smart and food motivated, especially when fruits and veggies are involved. He rings a bell to let you know when he wants to go outside—and when he’s ready to come back in. He knows basic commands, including “wait” before going out, and is known to mimic what he sees you do (opening doors, baby gates, snack cabinets, etc.).<br/><br/>He is fully house trained. Reacher does have some separation anxiety, but it has improved greatly over time. He is not a fan of being kenneled, though it is actively being worked on, as being crate trained helps with transitions—especially when someone new enters the home.<br/><br/>Reacher must be an indoor family member. He thrives on closeness, routine, and being part of his people’s daily lives, and would diminish in any other setting.<br/><br/>Rehoming Reacher has absolutely nothing to do with him—he is nearly perfect. He is simply looking for the loving, committed home he deserves.
