About Biscuit

Biscuit is a one-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix who is starting to come out of his shell. He’s the son of Peaches and is figuring out that the world isn’t as intimidating as he once thought. Every day, you’ll catch him getting a bit more confident, and there’s nothing quite like seeing his progress up close. He’s shy to start, but give him a little space and his easygoing, loving nature will show through. Biscuit really warms up around food—he’s extremely food-motivated, which helps in building a trusting relationship. He will thrive in a home with another steady, confident dog by his side but needs a cat-free environment due to his prey drive. Biscuit needs someone patient who won’t rush him, and who’s comfortable helping him continue to learn and adjust at his own pace. Right now, he’s searching for a foster or an adopter with a quiet home where he can truly settle in and keep blossoming. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
