Irish Wolfhound and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Vander is a 2-year-old hunk of love who firmly believes personal space is a myth. This certified goober is a full-time Velcro dog who wants to be touching you at all times—preferably sitting on you, despite his size. He will gaze deeply into your eyes like he's trying to understand your past lives together... and honestly, it works.

He's the total package: easy on leash, quiet in his kennel, fully house-trained with zero accidents, dog-friendly, and people-friendly. He rides like a dream in the car and aims to please in everything he does. Vander is low-key and chill most of the time, but don't be fooled—when zoomies hit, this guy can MOVE. Blink and you'll miss him.

Vander is smart and eager to learn, and while he'll need to keep working on basic obedience, he's very willing and very capable. He's affectionate, loyal, and happiest when being pet, cuddled, or admired (preferably all three). Due to his size, he may accidentally take out a small child like a friendly wrecking ball—but it's always with love.

If you're looking for a soulful, snuggly, slightly ridiculous best friend who will stick to you like glue and love you with his whole entire heart, Vander is your guy. Come meet him—just be warned, once he locks eyes with you, it's over.
