Most people walk right past Nite Train (A582844). All they see is a scarred, quiet, scary-looking dog. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sure, Nite Train is big, strong, 3 years old and 70 pounds of muscle, but he is shy, sweet, playful with other dogs, and genuinely wants a connection with people. 

It’s clear that he was possibly abused and mistreated in his lifetime, as he bears the deep scars on his face of a life spent in the streets. Nite Train flinches at first, afraid of hands coming close to him. But once he feels safe, he will seek out affection quietly, gently nudging his muscular head into our hands. To be touched. To be loved. He may look intimidating, but Nite Train is a sweetheart, a quiet boy waiting and hoping for his day to come. Let’s get him a home.
