About Ross

Meet Ross! This handsome young man is a gentle giant with a heart full of love. At just 8 months old and around 50 lbs, he's still growing, but beneath that big exterior lies a wonderfully soft soul. Ross gets along well with other dogs and came to us with his brother, who has been his closest friend and source of comfort. He may feel a bit nervous around new people, places, and experiences, so he needs a family that can offer him patience and encouragement. With time and affection, he can build the confidence he needs. We believe that with a supportive family, Ross can flourish into an incredible companion. He’s ready for a loving home that embraces his gentle nature and helps him discover his inner bravery. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
