Meet Mason (aka Asher), a 3-year-old Great Dane and Pit Bull Terrier mix who’s stealing hearts at PAWS Humane Society in Charles City, IA. This smart, athletic, and loyal dog was rescued from an abusive situation, thanks to vigilant witnesses and the local police. Now, in the care of his foster, Victoria, since December 2024, Mason has transformed from a cautious, underweight pup to a cuddly, healthy 75-pound companion.

Mason’s journey hasn’t been easy. He arrived at PAWS with anxiety from his past, flinching at raised hands. But with Victoria’s love and training, he’s blossomed into a happy, energetic dog who loves to cuddle and show off his intelligence. An escape artist with a knack for jumping fences, Mason needs a secure indoor home with plenty of exercise and an experienced owner. He’s selective with other dogs, not a fan of cats, and thrives best with a single person or couple who can give him time and attention.

Interested in meeting Mason? Fill out an adoption application at PAWS Humane Society (open Saturday 11-2, Sunday 1-3) to ensure a perfect match. Help Mason find his forever home where he can continue to thrive!

For more information on Mason or any of the other pets waiting on their forever home, go to PAWSCharlesCity.com.

Chris was born in Webster City and raised in Charles City, which basically means he’s been corn‑fed and radio‑bred since day one. As a kid, he was always caught singing along to the radio — and while he’ll tell you he’s great at karaoke, let’s just say the audience’s ears often file a noise complaint. When he’s not busy butchering ‘80s power ballads, Chris enjoys starting overly ambitious home projects that rarely make it past the “great idea” stage. He lives in Charles City with his endlessly patient wife Vicki and their kids, Brynlee and Jaxon, who have already perfected the art of the eye‑roll every time Dad cracks another “dad joke.”
