My story

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

Hey there! I'm Big Boy, and I recently had an amazing Halloween adventure that I can't wait to share with you! I even dressed up like a hotdog.

First, I went for a lovely walk in the park, soaking up all the autumn vibes. The leaves were crunching under my paws, and I just loved it! Then, I attended the Doggie Con event in Atlanta, where I got to meet so many new friends-both humans and furry pals.

I always make sure to do my business outside, so no worries there! When I met new people, I was soft and wiggly, my tail wagging like crazy. Everyone I encountered was just as excited to see me, and I made sure to solicit some pets-who wouldn't want a cuddle from this gentle giant?

I even met a bunch of kids under 12, and let me tell you, they were so much fun! I approached them with my usual soft and wiggly charm, and they loved giving me attention. It was a blast!

I did meet a few other dogs too, and we enjoyed playing together. I always keep my leash manners loose and friendly, making new doggy pals is one of my favorite things!

I'm a medium to low-energy guy, so one good walk is often just what I need to feel satisfied. But don't let my calm demeanor fool you-I'm always ready for a little fun!

I'm truly a wonderful boy with perfect manners. I get along great with dogs of all sizes and absolutely adore everyone I meet, even the most rambunctious kiddos. I'd make a fantastic addition to any household looking for a loving companion. Can't wait to find my forever home!
