Rawr! I’m Sharkbait, and I’m a 7-year-old neutered Mastiff mix male, weighing in at 83 pounds. I am crate-trained, potty-trained, and working on improving my leash manners. I pull when I am scared, but have learnt to ‘wait’! I have some medical needs. I am a Heartworm Survivor and will need another bloodtest for a negative heartoworm test in March 2025. I have Hypothyroidism well managed by taking Levothyroxine (~$5.00 for a month’s supply and price will vary vary based on market value and where purchased). No biggie!
Sadly, I was rescued from a highly publicized hoarding situation in Mississippi, and because of that, I’ve had some challenges coming out of my shell. I didn’t get a chance to learn how to be a carefree guy. I am a slow burner and take time to open up and get to know you, but once you’re in my inner circle, I am your silly best bud. after a year in foster care recovering, I am ready to roll, and by roll I mean sleep 16 hours per day in my giant bed and then spend an hour palling around with you, playing with toys, and getting lots of scritches!
I’m a low-maintenance guy who can be relaxed and goofy around those I trust. I am a giant softy and get along with other doggies and kitties, and kiddos too! I just like my space if they are a bit extra. I am still figuring out what the world is all about so expect some initial nervousness. Oncewe open up, I’ll ask for pets, play and my enrichment activities; new things to sniff, rolling food dispensers, kongs. I can be a bit of stubborn oaf at times and may feel like a back-bench student, but I may be playing ya 😉 I am just a slightly grumpy uncle will give you my side eye too. But it’s all an act till I hug you! also, fair warning, I snore!
I will make a great fit for someone who loves to snuggle up at home, wants a very chill companion, and will work to win over my affection. While naturally nervous, I am stoic in all situations that make me uncomfortable. I may give off a bark, but I am ZERO bite. In the past, I have gone to the beach and enjoyed it, so I have some adventuring left in me, but I am also very adaptable with time and patience. I would suit a more mellow household, and I like ladies more than men. I would be ok with kids as long as they are respectful of space. I would still be fine, but grumpy. I would love to have my crate and have alone time there. If you think we can be a solid cuddly team together, we have to meet! My adoption fee is $250 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
