About Stanley

Meet Stanley, a charming 7-year-old tri-color Parson Russell Terrier mix in search of a special home where he can truly flourish. Weighing in at 34 pounds, this spirited fellow is a delightful blend of adventure and affection. Originally adopted in early 2024, Stanley found himself back at the shelter due to his family’s sudden eviction, but he hasn't lost his zest for life. Stanley adores outdoor excursions and is equally happy being a loving couch companion. He thrives in female-led households, as he tends to bond more closely with women and can be wary of men. A female volunteer found him to be a gentle soul, always eager for affection and maintaining his calm demeanor. Although he has displayed some separation anxiety, he's been managing it well with the help of Trazodone. Potential adopters should be aware of his protective instincts; Stanley may bark at strangers until he feels comfortable. His history includes two minor bite incidents, underscoring the need for an experienced handler who can provide structure. While he is great with cats and smaller dogs, he may need careful introductions to larger dogs due to some jealousy and resource-guarding tendencies. If you're looking for a devoted companion to accompany you on hikes and cozy nights in, Stanley just might be your perfect match. Come meet him today and see if you can give him the loving home he deserves! Click apply to start the adoption process.
