They came to AAE in mid-march 2026 from the county animal services, and they’ve already stolen plenty of hearts. With a German Shepherd mom and an Anatolian/Mastiff mix dad, these two are as impressive as they are lovable. They’re incredibly well behaved, mild-mannered, respectful, and eager to please. Volunteers describe them as easygoing, responsive, and just plain big loves. It’s no surprise they’ve quickly become favorites.
JJ is microchipped, spayed, up to date with vaccines, heart worm testing and treatment.
