Meet Guinness, a shy 2-year-old, 86-pound shepherd mix who’s ready to find a loving home. He’s a big, quiet guy, looking for a calm and patient adopter who will help him come out of his shell. Guiness has been a bit nervous in the shelter. Though he's still working on trusting his new environment, Guinness is a follower. Once you encourage him, he’ll walk with you on leash and enjoy quiet moments together. He's a loving dog who simply needs some time, understanding, and encouragement to thrive. In shelter playgroups with other dogs, Guinness has been doing well, showing a gentle, cautious nature. He’d do well in a home with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog to soak up all the love. With love and patience, Guiness will bloom into the loyal, affectionate friend you’ve been waiting for!
