About Sirius

Meet Sirius. Some days, he seems uninterested in his dinner or walks. It’s hard to watch such a wonderful dog withdraw from the joys of life. Sirius, around 1.5 to 2 years old, needs a steady environment where he can find his footing and learn to feel secure. He has been with us for a while, and today, we're asking for someone to step up for him. Sirius prefers a quiet home, ideally without cats, and he does well with older children while he adjusts. He’s not looking for a playmate in other dogs; rather, he’s more of a solo guy who enjoys his own space. Once found protecting a mama dog and her five puppies on the side of the road, Sirius embodies loyalty and love. After his rescue, instead of being guarded, he surprised us with his affectionate nature. He's a gentle spirit who loves human connection and adores attention. He has so much to give and deserves a home where he can rest and heal. Are you the one Sirius is hoping for? Can you provide him with the love and patience he needs? Sirius's journey is a testament to resilience and loyalty. Now, it's his turn to be loved and cared for. All of our dogs come fully vetted and ready for their next chapter! Adoption includes age-appropriate vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and spay/neuter (completed prior to adoption, unless medically deferred). Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
