This Pet of the Week may look familiar. Time to re-meet House!

He's a gentle soul who is eager to leave his kennel days behind him and find a comfortable home where he can live the simple life.

House, a 7-year-old Mastiff mix, has become overwhelmed by the busy city and would prefer to relocate to a neighborhood free from so much activity. 

This well-mannered boy requires very little. If you have a warm lap and lots of love to offer, House is your guy! He knows basic commands, is house-trained, and is calm and quiet when left alone. 

Before arriving at Street Tails Animal Rescue, House lived in a home with both children and other dogs, and would be a valued addition to any family. 

This sweet boy just wants a human to be close to, and will show his appreciation by giving you a gentle leg lean. You can adopt House by filling out an application at Street Tails Animal Rescue.
