About Sirius

Meet Sirius, a shepherd mix with the heart of a guardian and the soul of a best friend. His journey began on the side of the road, where he selflessly protected a mama dog and her five puppies. This kind of loyalty is instinctual for him. When our team rescued him, we anticipated a dog that might be cautious. Instead, Sirius delighted us with his affectionate nature. He adores people, seeks connection, and is known among our volunteers for showering them with sweet kisses. He’s fond of attention and thrives on companionship. Sirius is fully vetted, heartworm negative, and he excels in house manners—potty trained and improving his leash skills daily. He’s smart and eager, fitting perfectly with a family that values consistency and quality time together. His ideal home should have children aged 10 and up, with no other male dogs. We are currently assessing his compatibility with female dogs. If you’re looking for a companion who will make you feel cherished and loved, Sirius is your guy. He’ll follow you from room to room, lean into you for affection, and remind you of the joy of being chosen. It's time for Sirius to be safe and spoiled for the rest of his life. Ready to meet him? Reach out today to understand why everyone who meets Sirius falls a little in love. All dogs come fully vetted and ready for adoption, which includes age-appropriate vaccines, dewormer, microchip, spay/neuter, and a heartworm test. The adoption fee is $250. What are you waiting for?
