Sex: Male
Breed: McNab
Estimated Date of Birth : 09/17/2023
McNabs are known for their loyal nature and keen intelligence. A hardy breed they were bred to withstand California’s rugged terrain but aren’t as hyperactive as most other herding breeds. We believe this is exactly what the beautiful Silas’ heritage is. He fits the bill both in personality and looks. An uncommon breed for sure but as we are situated in an agricultural community we see a lot of McNabs and other herding breeds come through our shelter system. If you’re looking for something as unusual as a McNab Silas wont disappoint. He’s a beautiful example of the breed incredibly loyal to the people in his life with the protective instincts some families want. He’s eager to please and even more eager to bond. This boy needs a family of his own.
We wish we knew Silas’ story. All we know is he was adopted from our county shelter in September of last year and then ended up back at the shelter January of this year. His adoptive family never came for him and he was out of time. Every single volunteer and staff member at the shelter loved this sweet boy so we had to give him his chance. This time we are determined to ensure his future family is a good one and Silas will never be abandoned again!
Silas would be a wonderful addition to most homes. He’s extremely sweet and social. He loves other dogs and has a playful fun personality. He’s super smart already picking up on training activies with ranch staff and very eager to please. This big boy is very in tune to the people in his life and wants to bond with them so bad. He just needs that perfect family to bond with. If you’re looking for a less common breed and a really cool dog consider giving Silas the home he’s waiting for. He’s waiting patiently for you!
Here’s what you need to know about adopting a cat or dog from Marley's Mutts:
Each adoptable pet will be introduced on Facebook
Each pet will have its own profile here on the website
All pets will be spayed or neutered
All pets will be micro-chipped and shots will be up-to-date
Each pet has their own application to complete—make sure you use the right one (linked from their bio)
It’s important to us that each pet goes not just to a great home but to the “right” home. Our foster parents work with each pet to get to know them and their needs.
We try hard to list all of the pertinent info about each pet on the site so you can choose the pet that will fit with your family/lifestyle. If you don’t see a specific pet on the site, he/she is not ready for adoption. Please be patient and wait until the bio is listed. We don’t decide on a “first come, first served” basis but rather on a “who’s the very best fit.” So, don’t panic.
It’s not a quick process. We receive dozens of applications for each pet so please be patient. If you’re shortlisted you’ll be contacted as soon as possible.
If selected to meet one of our pets and you currently have pets, you’ll be asked to do an in-person pet intro; we don’t do the long-distance adoption thing. If you live out of town, plan a fun road trip to meet the pet in person.
Don’t be discouraged if your application is not selected. Remember, we get a lot of them! Trust us, the best fit for you is coming.
If you’re lucky and you do adopt a super amazing pet from Marley’s Mutts, don’t ever hesitate to reach out to us for training, medication, or behavior questions. We’re here for you, and your pet.
