My wife and I rescued a sweet one year and 8 month old newfie/spaniel mix (best guess) named Meika from a shelter. We want her to have the best life, but she would do best with a less busy household and fenced-in yard. She's very sweet and loyal and a good couch cuddle buddy. One thing to know is she's fairly skittish around men, but has been able to warm up with time and patience.
