About Stanley

Stanley is a charming and engaging pup in search of his forever family. His big, soulful eyes radiate warmth, indicating a heart full of loyalty and love. Rescued from an overburdened animal control facility in Kentucky, he has come a long way since his early days spent with his five littermates. At 1.5 years old and weighing in at 55 pounds, Stanley's DNA reveals a unique blend of German Shepherd, Husky, and Bluetick Coonhound, making him a delightful mix. While he can initially be a bit reserved with new people, particularly larger men or those in hats, he’s quick to warm up once he feels comfortable, often transitioning into a loving companion who just wants to please. Stanley thrives in the presence of other dogs, as they bolster his confidence and help him navigate new experiences. An active and athletic dog, he delights in outdoor adventures like hiking and running, and he would excel in dog sports such as tracking or nosework. He's already crate trained and house trained with a regular schedule. His intelligence means he requires mental stimulation alongside physical exercise. With the right guidance from calm, confident, dog-savvy guardians, Stanley is on the path to becoming a more confident version of himself. If you think you could be the right match for this sweet and loyal boy, don't hesitate to reach out. Stanley is waiting to meet you!
