About Santiago

Santiago stands out with his mostly white coat and soft blend of tan and grey across his face. He’s likely a Shepherd and Great Pyrenees mix, about medium-large at around 50 pounds, and carries himself with a gentle, deliberate calm. In his foster home, Santiago responds well to patience and quiet encouragement, settling in as he gets to know new spaces and routines. He gets along with other dogs and is comfortable around the usual household stir, showing that with a sense of security, he can let his guard down a bit. Car rides and unfamiliar experiences are still intimidating, but he's slowly growing curious and trusts step by step when given time. Santiago doesn’t engage in destructive behavior and relaxes when left alone in a safe, quiet space. A home able to offer steady reassurance and give him room to build confidence would help him fully settle in as a loyal companion.
