Mason’s got the face of an angel and the attitude of a mischievous trickster. He’ll charm you in a heartbeat with his happy dance and wiggly energy—right until he flips the switch, barrels toward you, and turns into a bundle of ‘nope!’ Mason’s not shy about dislikes: men, kids, strangers, extreme temperatures, windy days, and even your breathing if it catches him wrong. He’s a chicken-only guy (culinary preferences: extremely specific), and attention? His wheezy cough will make sure you get it, for better or worse. Vet visits are especially unpopular, but unfortunately necessary—he’s got a thyroid issue that needs periodic monitoring. Chicken-only diet and occasional vomiting mean you need to keep the household routine pretty stable. Social butterfly isn’t quite the word for Mason, unless you’re one of his chosen circle. He can bond deeply once trust is built and, with shelter staff, shows affection, playfulness, and smarts. He makes friends with most dogs, could possibly coexist with cats, but kids are not his thing. Expect a dog who keeps his world a little tight and his trust earned, not given. Two years at the shelter haven’t dulled his spirit, but he’s overdue for someone experienced—someone willing to respect boundaries and meet him on his terms. Sound like you? Ready to fall in love?
