Oh — hi! GNOCCHI here.

I'm a gentle giant who needed time to find my footing, and now that I have, I'm ready to show you the calm, loyal friend hiding beneath all this shelter noise.

My notes call me gentle and a little shy — I warm up fast once I trust you, though.

I'm a seasoned soul, which is a fancy way of saying I've perfected the art of the afternoon nap and the grateful sigh.

I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.

I'm a San Jose local, just waiting on the right person.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

Who knows — by Halloween I might be napping on somebody's couch. I'd love it to be near you, one way or another.

Thanks for spending a minute with me. I'll be right here, tail ready, hoping it's you. — GNOCCHI

About GNOCCHI

08/19/26 15:27Gnocchi has been placed on needs rescue URGENT for his consistent high FAS (fear, anxiety, stress) score since begin here at the shelter.Gnocchi is a handsome 7 year old mastiff that has been in the shelter since June. When he first got here, his behavior was very inconsistent. Some days he would be loose and happy to greet people at the front of his kennel and other times he was barring teeth. Now that Gnocchi has had time to decompress, he is not showing any signs of aggression towards people or other dogs. In the kennel now, he is constantly barking and jumping. Gnocchi knows that the kennel life is not for him and he tells us that every time he returns from his walks. He is always super happy to leave the kennel for his daily walk, but he is known to stall when it is time to return. And who can blame him. He wants a life outside of the kennel with someone who will give him all the love he deserves. Will you be the one to help this sweet boy and give him a home away from the shelter?
