Meet Stan Laurel ,Stan Laurel is a 2.5-year-old neutered male Poodle mix (possibly Irish Wolfhound⦠possibly just a certified Large Unit) weighing in at a very serious 102.2 pounds of pure, unfiltered chaos.Letâs not sugarcoat itâStan is a behemoth. A big, bouncy, oversized love missile who moves through the world like a bull in a china shop⦠if the bull had excellent intentions, questionable awareness of its own size, and a deep commitment to being part of whatever you are doing at all times.Stan is smart. Very smart. Possibly too smart for his own good. He just hasnât quite applied that intelligence to things like âgentle greetings,â âbody awareness,â or âunderstanding that humans are not meant to be gently bulldozed in excitement.â Training is still on his to-do list, right under âfigure out personal spaceâ and âwhy do doors exist if not for testing speed against them?âBut hereâs the thing about Stanâhe is endearingly chaotic. Heâs the kind of dog who will absolutely knock your drink over, step on your foot with the weight of a small horse, and then look at you like you are the love of his life. And somehow⦠youâll forgive him. Every time.Heâs a volunteer favorite, because underneath all that bohemoth energy is a goofy, affectionate boy who just wants to be close to his peopleâpreferably as close as physically possible.Stan needs a home that appreciates BIG dogs, bigger personalities, and the occasional structural recalibration of household furniture. He needs guidance, consistency, and someone who can laugh when life gets accidentally knocked off the coffee table.If youâve ever wanted a dog who feels like living with a lovable wrecking ball who also gives excellent affection⦠Stan Laurel is ready for his starring role in your life.
