About Amigo

Meet Amigo! Amigo is an 89-pound, 2-year-old Mastiff mix eager for a new beginning after being surrendered to the shelter through no fault of his own. This transition has been significant for him, but he’s ready for a family that will offer the love and guidance he deserves. His previous owner described Amigo as a friendly dog who thrives on social interactions. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, both at home and in public, and loves to play and make new canine friends. His gentle nature extends to children, as he has done well with little ones in various settings, making him an ideal addition to a family looking for a playful companion. Though Amigo can be shy initially when meeting new people, his affectionate personality emerges once he feels secure. He hasn’t been exposed to cats, so it’s unclear how he would do in that regard. Additionally, he is not yet house-trained or crate-trained, so a patient adopter willing to help him learn these skills is essential. Amigo is spayed and his vaccinations are up to date. If you think Amigo might be the right fit for your home, he’s waiting patiently for someone to help him thrive. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
