The ideal home for Stan would be with someone who does not work long hours or can take him to work. The owner would need to be confident with big dogs and able to provide him with stimulation. He is such a sweet boy. His new owners would need to have plenty of time to love on him.

MEET STAN, Neutered Male, Long haired Anatolian Shepherd mix, Brown and Black, 95 lbs, approx 6 years old
Stan was owner surrendered due to a death in the family (no fault of his own).
Stan is sweet and affectionate. He likes bully sticks and big squishy dog beds. When he is stressed, he won't eat. However, if you add broth to his food, that will get him going. He is very smart and needs attention and stimulation. A nice walk and time with his human will typically meet his needs. He is good on a leash, but off leash he will run off and think that it is a game.
