Story
**Angel: A Gentle Soul with a Heart of Gold!**"Hello, wonderful humans! I'm Angel, and I'm ready to bring a touch of sweetness and a whole lot of love into your life. At one year old, I'm a beautiful Great Pyrenees mix (about 74%, they tell me!) with a gentle spirit and a heart that's just bursting with affection.I absolutely adore snuggling with my humans, and I have the best manners! I sit politely, offer a gentle paw for attention, and when I get really excited, I give the cutest little smile. I'm a laid-back kind of gal, a bit of a hippy chick, if you will, and I love spending time outdoors, especially on my foster family's little hobby farm.I get along great with kids, cats, and small dogs, though sometimes my puppy enthusiasm can be a bit much for the seniors! I'm a social butterfly and love making new friends, especially at doggy daycare! I enjoy having matching collar and leash sets, soft fuzzy bedding, chew toys, and stuffies of all sizes – I believe every dog deserves the finer things in life!I walk well on a leash, though I'm still working on my manners and sometimes get a little excited. And I'm proud to say I'm potty trained! I was adopted as a puppy, but my family had to move to an apartment, which wasn't the right fit for me. I'm looking for a loving home with a yard and humans who have the time to give me the exercise and attention I need.I’m a playful girl and love other dogs that share my play style. I get along wonderfully with my 34-pound foster sibling. I’ve been enjoying my time in doggy daycare and love to play.Now, I do have a bit of a wiggle in my step sometimes, and the vet has noted a mild hip dysplasia and luxating patella. We're keeping a close eye on it, and I'll be going back for a re-check soon to make sure everything's still looking good. While I generally love to play and move, I do favor my leg at times, and it's possible I might need surgery in the future.To make sure I'm in tip-top shape, I'm up to date on my vaccinations, spayed, microchipped, and have had my Bordetella shot. My adoption fee is $500.**A Note to Potential Adopters:**"All adopters must be prepared to provide a loving and supportive home, including ongoing training, appropriate exercise, and continued veterinary care."**To apply to adopt Angel, please scamper on over to www.biggiepawsrescue.org and fill out an application! I'm waiting with paws crossed!**P.S. I'm a sweet and gentle soul, and I can't wait to find my forever family!"DATCP # 494550

**Cha Cha (aka Ruby): The Cuddle Queen with a Cry for Attention!**"Hey there, love-seekers! Meet Cha Cha, or as I like to call her, Ruby, the 3.5 to 4-month-old, 20-25 pound bundle of pure, unadulterated snuggle-mania! I'm a pit bull mix with a heart as big as my puppy-dog eyes, and I'm ready to cha-cha my way into your heart!I'm a major sweetheart and a professional cuddler. Seriously, I'm like a little love bug that wants to be wherever you are! If you're looking for a shadow that's also a warm, furry blanket, I'm your girl. I will absolutely cry for your attention until you give me all the love and affection I deserve (which is, like, ALL of it).Housebroken? We're working on it! I'm doing really well on a consistent schedule, so just stick to it, and we'll be golden. Leash trained? Not yet, but I'm eager to learn! Crate trained? Yep! Though, between you and me, I'd much rather be snuggled up with you under the blankets.Kids? Love 'em! Dogs? Love 'em too! Cats? Well, we haven't crossed that bridge yet, but I'm open to making new feline friends! I'm up-to-date on my shots and microchipped.I sleep like a champ in my crate/playpen, but as mentioned, I'm a big fan of the human bed. I'm working on my basic commands, and I'm a quick learner (especially when treats are involved!). I love to play with toys and would absolutely adore a yard to run around in and soak up some sunshine.My adoption fee is $500, with a $150 spay deposit required.**Location:** Kenosha, WI.**A Note to Potential Adopters:**"All adopters must be prepared to provide a loving and supportive home, including ongoing training, appropriate exercise, and continued veterinary care."**To apply to adopt Cha Cha (aka Ruby), please scamper on over to www.biggiepawsrescue.org and fill out an application!

Story
**Thora: From Shy Sweetheart to Snuggle Bug Supreme (and Stair-Climbing Superstar!)**This gorgeous girl is Thora, and she's ready to go from shy blossom to full-blown snuggle bug in your loving home! This approximately 4-month-old Shepherd mix weighs in at a cuddly 25 pounds, making her the perfect size for hugs, adventures, and being your official "shadow." She's basically a four-legged, tail-wagging, love-machine in training!Thora is a special girl with a heart of gold. She's sweet, affectionate, and definitely a "velcro dog" – she'll follow you everywhere you go! She can be a tad skittish when meeting new people, but with a little patience and a gentle voice, she transforms from wallflower to wiggle-butt in record time. Think of it as her own little "warming up" mini-game!Toys make Thora do the happy dance! Fetch and tug-of-war are her current favorite pastimes, and she's always up for a good play session. Her energy level is typical for a puppy – playful and fun-loving, but she also knows how to chill out and cuddle like a pro. She'd thrive in a home with kids and other doggie pals to keep her entertained and stimulated (she's a social butterfly at heart!).Thora is also a smart cookie and learns new things *fast*! She's already conquered the couch (a true champion of comfy spots!) and is working on mastering the stairs. Large staircases are still a bit of a challenge (think of it as her "boss level"), but she's determined to conquer them all! Potty training is going smoothly – as long as she sticks to her schedule, accidents are rare. She even lets you know when she needs a bathroom break by standing at the door and giving a little whimper (she's practically house-trained!). Just like any puppy, she needs supervision outside (snow is *very* tasty, apparently!) and around small objects (everything goes in the mouth!).Thora is a star on walks! She listens well, stops and waits at crosswalks (a true model citizen!), and is learning to ignore other dogs with a little reassurance from her human. She might suddenly stop or look over her shoulder at you (she's just checking to make sure you're keeping up!), but with continued training, she'll gain confidence and strut her stuff like a pro. She's obedient, eager to please, and responds best to positive reinforcement. She doesn't know specific commands yet, but she's a quick learner and ready to impress you with her skills.Thora is up-to-date on her vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed. She's received excellent veterinary care and is ready to float into your life and fill it with love and laughter.**Adoption Fee:** $500**Location:** MilwaukeeReady to welcome this sweet and loving girl into your life? Fill out an application at www.biggiepawsrescue.org and get ready for a lifetime of love, laughter, and maybe a few "I conquered the stairs!" moments.**A Note to Potential Adopters:** All adopters must be prepared to provide a loving and supportive home for Thora, including ongoing training, appropriate exercise, and continued veterinary care. (And maybe invest in some taller shelves!)DATCP # 494550

Story
**Cocytus: The Tiny Talker of Hades (and Lethe's Sister!)**"Prepare for a symphony of adorable sounds! Meet Cocytus, Lethe's sister, who loves to share her feelings with the world! Yes, she shares a name with the 'river of wailing,' but this little husky mix is more like a 'river of adorable vocalizations!' At just 11 weeks old and a sturdy 13 pounds, she's ready to bring pure, unadulterated joy (and a bit of adorable noise) into your life. Forget the sorrow, this girl is all about tail-wagging and playtime!I'm a sweet girl with a whole lot of energy to burn. I'm fearless and ready to tackle any adventure that comes my way! I love playing with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a buddy to romp around with. Cats? Well, let's just say my relentless curiosity might be a bit much for them (especially small chis!).Housebroken? We're working on it! I'm super treat-motivated, though, and I already know how to sit and wait patiently for my reward. Leash trained? Not yet! I'm more of a 'free-range explorer' at the moment. Crate trained? Well, I *can* be crate trained, but I prefer to express my feelings with a charming little vocal performance until you let me out for playtime. I also have a very clear opinion about what I want, and I'm not afraid to use my voice to let you know – think tiny diplomat demands! I much prefer to snuggle up in bed with my humans – and so far, I've been a perfect bedtime companion (silent when sleeping, of course!).At night, I sleep soundly in bed with my foster family, dreaming of all the exciting things I'll explore tomorrow. I'm a smart girl and learning my basic commands, but let's be real – my attention span is definitely on the puppy side!I'm up-to-date on my shots and microchipped.My adoption fee is $500, with a $150 spay deposit required. I love kids, and I'm sure we'd have a blast together!**Location:** Kansas City, MO.**A Note to Potential Adopters:**"All adopters must be prepared to provide a loving and supportive home, including ongoing training, appropriate exercise, and continued veterinary care."**To apply to adopt Cocytus, please scamper on over to www.biggiepawsrescue.org and fill out an application! I'm waiting with paws crossed!**So, ditch the wailing and embrace the tail-wagging (and occasional adorable chat)! Cocytus, Lethe's sister, is ready to bring a lifetime of laughter and adventure into your home. Don't worry, her 'lamentation' is mostly just her way of saying 'I have opinions and I'm not afraid to share them!'"DATCP # 494550
