Stark's Story

Meet Stark! This handsome 3-year-old Pit/Lab mix weighs in at 70 lbs and is as full of love as he is energy. He came to the shelter as a stray, and while we’re still learning about him, one thing is clear—Stark is a big, playful boy who’s ready to find a family of his own.<br/><br/>Because of his size and enthusiasm, Stark would do best in a home with older children who can keep up with him while he learns his basic manners. From what we’ve seen so far, he will need to be the only dog in the home.<br/><br/>Stark has already tested negative for both heartworm and Lyme disease, and before heading home he’ll be neutered, microchipped, and rabies vaccinated—so he’ll be all set for his new adventure!
