Meet Sargon in NC - Always Smiling!

Smiley Sargon is ready for his furever family, and he hopes that they love to laugh and play! This funny guy has the toothiest smile that you’ve ever seen, and you are sure to giggle at the sight of it! His giant grin paired with his long, super soft coat make him irresistible to humans, so be prepared to fall in love with this giant floof! And no worries about taking care of his luscious locks, as he did well with his grooming needs of a bath, brushing, ear cleaning and nail trim! Sargon originally lived on a farm but was surrendered after killing a chicken, so it’s no surprise that this former farm boy prefers to spend his time inside. He is a medium-energy dog who walks well on leash and is crate trained, and he would love to have a crate in his new home - “Sargon’s Sanctuary,” as he likes to call it. He values his “me time,” and would enjoy being served cuisine in his Sanctuary so he can eat in peace, as he’s protective of his food. Sargon would do well as an only dog in an active family, or with a friendly male or female canine companion, as play time is so much more fun when it’s with someone else! This big boy needs a confident, pyr-experienced person who can take the lead and provide him with his favorite treat, which is... (shocker)... chicken. If you’re looking for a handsome and charming fellow that will make you laugh on the daily, then look no further than Sargon!

Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority. We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding.
