Stanley's Story

Our Stanley arrived after being found as a stray in St. Louis city. We could tell he was a social guy and we tried him with our Anatolian shepherd Oliver. They immediately got along and soon were chasing each other in the big yard. They have been friends ever since. Stanley is very sweet and friendly with people and barks very little. He always has a smile on his face and is eager to see visitors and horses passing by the yard. He is a handsome boy as well. <br/><br/>He doesn't jump up on people. He greets with a wagging tail. He loves hugs and to be petted. <br/><br/>He and Oliver are very bonded and complement each other well. They play in the yard constantly. We will seek a home ready to welcome two very well-behaved young dogs as we would like to place them together. They are both neutered and chill for their age. <br/><br/>Oliver is quiet and reserved, which is typical for his breed. He likes to be petted and loved on...he is on patrol at night and needs to be in the house (no dog door) or he will spend the night barking outside. He does not bark in the house or during the day. It's just the wildlife and horses moving around that makes him hyper aware. <br/><br/>We did not plan to have dogs named Stan and Ollie - We already had Oliver (fall 2025) and named Stanley on arrival, never thinking they would be friends or inseparable.
