About Desmond

When you love your bath, but This scruffy giant of a doggo is allll love and happiness! Desmond is 3 years old, and we think he does some body building in his spare time. He made it to the vet to get neutered, and weighed in at 82 lbs! We have gone thru different guesses with his breed mix, leaning toward a large poodle mix now after talking with the vet. Maybe a Newfypoo? Or an Irish Woolfadoodle? Whatever our mystery man is, he is intelligent, happy, curious, friendly, and LOVES to play. Desmond seems like he could potentially be dog friendly. We think the stress of the shelter is masking that he actually likes other dogs. Let's feel it out with a meet and greet if you have any other doggos and see how they do. We would love to get him out of a kennel and with a good human who has room for him to run, so he can shake off the feeling of being caged in. Because of his large size, older children in the home would be better than little ones. Desmond is such a happy, big guy but a yard will do him better than walks will. This strong ol' guy views a leash like it's time to run out the gate, and will need an experienced and strong adopter to get him back and forth to the vet or any outings that require a leash. We have noticed he is food protective, we would recommend him being fed separately from any other doggos you have until they adjust. He is a happy guy (so happy, he just wants to play!), playful and intelligent and HIS SMILE IS AWESOME! Come meet this great boy today. Our hours are Tues-Fri 11-4 pm and Sat-Sun from 1-5 pm. We are located at 2825 Sherman Ave in Monte Vista (behind Alpine Vet), and you can also reach us at (719) 852-3366.
