HEADLINER: Bjorn

HISTORY: Bjorn was found as a stray in Rochester, NY, and taken to a local animal shelter.
Unfortunately, he was never claimed. He spent about three weeks in the shelter before coming to his foster home through Mastiffs to Mutts.

PERSONALITY: Bjorn LOVES his people - so much that he wants to be with you all of the time. He is a true velcro dog. Typical of his breed, he is protective of the house and his people and will alert-bark at strangers or new people entering the home. With some treats and reassurance, however, he is able to accept strangers.

Bjorn is completely housebroken and non-destructive when left alone. He likes his stuffies and will grab one to show you when you walk through the door. He also enjoys bones and deer antlers. Additionally, Bjorn loves his food! He eagerly sits and waits for a ‘go eat’ before eating.  He is respectful of ‘people food’ and will not try to steal yours or counter surf.

Bjorn is allowed on the furniture in his foster home and often sleeps in bed with his favorite person. Warning - he snores like a freight train! He comfortably sleeps through the night until it’s time to wake up in the morning.

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Bjorn loves being with his people - wherever that might be. He also enjoys spending time exploring the yard with his foster sister, a great dane. Cuddling on the couch at night time is something that Bjorn looks forward to the most, and he thinks he is a lap dog!

MEDICAL ISSUES: N/A

WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Bjorn would do best is a home with mastiff experience who understands the slight reactivity to strangers. Because of this, older children would be recommended. He would love to live with another canine, as well!
