🎉 Meet Waffles, the exquisite Central Asian Shepherd who is guaranteed to steal your heart! This stunning young lady arrived at the rescue as a mere puppy, looking like a big ol' Lab, but she’s grown into a magnificent guardian breed at 75 pounds, full of love and loyalty. Her journey began at just four months old, adopted quickly by a family who instantly adored her. But when the DNA results revealed her true lineage, they found themselves unequipped to handle the unique spirit of a livestock guardian breed. They made the tough choice to return Waffles, but now she’s ready to find her forever home where she'll truly belong. 💖 Oh, this gentle giant is not just about guarding—she has a heart full of sweetness! Waffles melts into belly rubs and adores affection from everyone she meets. Imagine coming home to a warm pup with endless hugs and cuddles waiting for you! 🐾 Waffles is a talented gal; she does splendidly with other dogs and even has a soft spot for cats, often attempting to charm them or play. She’s already housebroken, crate trained, and walks like a dream on a leash! But hold on—she’s only 6 months old and still figuring out her way in this big world. So she’ll need a dog-savvy home that understands the nuances of nurturing a large guardian breed and is eager to engage her in training. 🌟 Waffles isn't just a pet; she's a lifestyle! If you're looking for a loyal guardian with a gentle spirit who will be devoted to you and your family, Waffles could be the perfect fit! Her foster can’t say enough good things—she’s truly something special! 🐶❤️ Remember, she’s located in Loomis, CA, and all puppies come with a puppy addendum that covers spay and vaccinations. Don’t wait! If Waffles sounds like the furry friend you've been searching for, be sure to *apply through the Buddy App* to bring this loving spirit into your home!
