Meet Yeager

Meet Yeager! A devoted six-and-a-half-year-old Mastiff, American Pitbull Terrier, and Great Pyrenees mix from Bethlehem, CT, whose heart is as big as his 70-pound frame. With a brindled fawn-colored coat that gleams in the sunlight and a soul that craves connection, Yeager is a lovable blend of strength, sweetness, and sensitivity. Yeager is the ultimate running partner and sunbathing enthusiast. Whether he's bounding beside you on a trail or sprawled out in a sunbeam with his paws in the air, he’s happiest just being near his people! Around kids, he shines—gentle and obedient, especially during mealtime when he’ll sit patiently with drool dripping in anticipation until he hears the magic word: “free!” He’s also crate-trained and house-trained, and though he does require a sturdy, escape-proof crate, he often chooses to snuggle up in it all on his own—it’s his safe little haven. Yeager’s heart is warm and full of affection, but it’s also a bit tender. After a traumatic veterinary experience a couple of years ago, he’s become more cautious around unfamiliar people. While he has never bitten anyone, he may growl or snap at the air when he feels unsafe. He’s working on his trust-building journey with the help of medication and positive reinforcement, but his next family should be patient and understanding—someone who will give him the calm, loving space he needs to settle in and thrive. He gets along famously with other dogs, having a blast with his canine cousins, and he’s an affectionate cuddle-bug to his human family! However, a home without cats or one experienced with slow introductions would be best due to his excitable play style. He’s also terrified of thunderstorms and fireworks, so a peaceful setting and a patient caregiver during loud events will help him feel secure. Yeager’s story is one of resilience, loyalty, and deep love. Are you the kind soul who can offer this beautiful boy the safety, companionship, and calm environment he needs to flourish in his next chapter?
