Meet Tuff in LA - Gives Sweet Kisses!
Please say “hello” to the handsome and sweet, Tuff! This little charmer loves to snuggle up next to his humans and give them kisses. He craves attention and is friendly to everyone he meets. Tuff came into rescue with his five brothers, and all of them have young dog energy, enjoying an active lifestyle full of play and adventure. They are half Cattle Dog, half Great Pyrenees, and 100% Good Boys! Tuff is crate trained, learning to walk on leash, and barks only to alert. He’s great with dogs and has been non-reactive to the cats he’s seen. Tuff isn’t picky when it comes to toys, as he’ll play with empty containers all day long, but he sure hopes that his furever family includes a canine sibling for him to play with! Tuff is seeking an active family with lots of love to give, and bonus points if they have a low mirror so he can check himself out and make sure he’s always looking his best!

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.
