My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello there! I'm Big Boy, a 9-year-old pup with a heart full of love and a calm, laid-back personality. I might be a bit older, but that just means I've perfected the art of being a loyal and loving companion.

I absolutely adore attention and affection-so much so that I might just demand it with my sweet, gentle ways! One thing to know about me is that I'm a bit of a howler-don't worry, it's just my way of communicating!

I do have some special needs, though. I'm on a special diet to keep keep my sensitive stomach feeling its best. I also need to be able to go outside several times a day to do my business, so regular potty breaks are a must.

I get along fine with other dogs, but I think I'd do best with ones who are just as calm and relaxed as I am. I'm really more of a homebody and would love nothing more than to be your low-energy buddy, lounging around the house with you.

If you're looking for a sweet, lazy, and loving companion, I'm your guy!

I also qualify for Foster First, which means you can foster me for 14 days prior to adoption to ensure I'm the perfect fit for your family!
