Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Armstrong is waiting for his perfect match! Surrendered with his brother Buzz, Armstrong is a striking Standard Poodle-Maremma Sheepdog mix, estimated to be about 5.5 months old. He's a gentle giant in the making, weighing nearly 40 pounds already and expected to become a very large dog when fully grown. While he is mellow and sweet-natured, Armstrong is also a very shy fellow who has spent his entire life outdoors, and he may be happiest with a home that offers plenty of open space to roam—such as a farm or rural property. Having had limited experiences so far, Armstrong is truly a blank slate: he does not yet know basic commands, is not leash-trained, and is not housetrained. However, for patient adopters with the space and time to guide him, he has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion or even an excellent livestock guardian if begun early. Armstrong has gotten along well with other dogs, though he hasn't met cats or other small animals, and hasn't been around young children, but his disposition so far is calm and gentle. He is already vaccinated and microchipped, and his neuter appointment is scheduled for May 6th. Armstrong is eager to meet a loving family who is ready to help him relax, grow, and discover life as a cherished companion. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
