My dream dog. Absolute doggy perfection. I hope he lives to 20 😭❤️

We went to the vet but they only did xrays as you can see in the Photo. They said it is some kind of "tumor" and that its not Fluid inside. They told as the remove it in the next bigger City. In this clinic they would make some "biopsy" to see what is "inside the tumor". From what i have seen on the Internet, this lump might be "hygroma" and I Read that it is not really recommendet to remove it.

Does someone have the same issue? The dog often lies on hard ground and stone.

English is not my native language, excuse me. Thank you !

Since February, we have been fostering this sweet girl, Sierra

She is about 5 years old but, sadly, due to some of the previous family's health issues, was tied to a tree for the past 3 or 4 years, in rain, snow, and heat. She is super cuddly and very good with our kids. She needs training, though, because she sometimes overprotects us with other dogs and needs to learn dog language. If you know of any rescues that work with this breed or places to post to find her a home, please let me know!

Apparently he fits perfectly under the piano. 😂

Bath time caught Júpiter completely off guard today. He's got allergies, so regular baths are a must to keep his skin calm, but the second that hose came out he gave me the most dramatic "how could you" look.

He put up the full protest at first — total meltdown like I was committing a crime — but a few minutes in he just accepted his fate. This dog will stare down any squirrel in the neighborhood without blinking, but lukewarm water? Personal attack.

Anyone else's dog turn bath time into a full telenovela? Drop your stories below 👇

First picture is from about 1.5 months ago, second is from this week. According to the shelter, my boy Isaac is supposed to be half Anatolian Shepherd, and as he has grown he has started looking more and more like one. Currently 6 months old and about 60lbs! We intend to eventually have his DNA tested to know for sure, but for now we are just watching him grow and seeing how he matures into himself. One thing is absolutely certain, he is the goofiest and most stubborn dog I have ever been around.

Had to get a playmate for my male. They wrestle and chase one another. Just in the last three days the puppy has demanded to go out at night. It’s akin to empty nest syndrome 😥

My ASD mix. 💜 him

We found her in our front yard last May (2025), about 5 weeks old. No mother to be found, no neighbors missing a puppy. She has some hip problems, we think her mom was a stray and our sweet girl couldn't keep up. Our two other girls (one GSD and one AmStaff mix) both took to her immediately, and she immediately became part of the family. She's so sweet, and is at her happiest when she has her entire pack together with her. When we're all in different places, she paces from one person to another to check on us all.

She's been the best addition to our family. Even though she doesn't believe in personal space lol.

We adopted this sweet guy last month after fostering him for a few weeks. He was kept in a small kennel for most of his life. We adore him

Cooper keeping one ear open 😂

He was found wandering in a neighborhood in North Georgia, (near the Cherokee/Pickens County line) and my friend brought him in to keep him out of the heat while she tries to find his family. I took one look at him and said “Anatolian Shepherd.” This sweet boy knew all the words and signs for basic obedience training, and rolled over for a belly rub as soon as I gave the sign for “down”. I really hope his family finds him soon, he’s a total sweetheart.

He knows he’s photogenic
