In the shelter’s words

**In order to get our large-breed dogs adopted, we asked for adoption sponsors to cover the adoption fees for a few of our big dogs, and Keary's fee is 100% sponsored by a Cause for SB Paws donor! Applicants are still subject to an interview, meet and greet, and it of course must be the right fit. But the adoption fee is covered!** Beautiful Keary has been in rescue for over a year!! She's one of our top priority dogs right now because she deserves a home of her own, and time is running out of time in her boarder/foster home!She acts like a big puppy who LOVES to play. She is high energy and extremely smart. She was a stray in the San Bernardino mountains for several weeks, and once Mountains Humane Society was able to trap her, she had to go into boarding due to no foster homes. They reached out to rescues, and because one of our fosters stepped up, we were able to take Keary into Cause for SB Paws! It took her about a week in her foster home to fully trust, but now she loves everybody. Keary likes to play hard and while she knows to be gentle around certain dogs, she would do best with another large, high-energy fur-sibling. She has a Shepherd working dog temperament, so she needs lots of mental and physical stimulation. She loves to play fetch, do puzzle games, chew antlers, and thrives in her training sessions. Oh and LOVES water! See her video. :) She's very loving and seeks pets and kisses, but doesn't often snuggle, because she's always on the go! Keary is looking for a large-breed loving adopter. An active home a must. Keary does well with the pre-teens in her foster home, but still jumps up a lot, so she could knock over small children. If you're the fun-loving active family Keary needs, we'd love to meet you!
