03/29/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: ‘He’s affectionate and likes to play’…Those words from his former owner sum up Biggie’s personality in a nutshell, but this mature hunk comes with so many awesome ‘extras’ that we can’t just stop there. He’s gentle and relaxed with children from babyhood to teens, respectful yet exuberant with other dogs and has a host of commands already under his belt including come, sit and drop it. Crate trained? Of course! Food or toy guarding? Never! We’re told he’s house trained and well-behaved when left home alone and that he even knows not to climb on the furniture–how many dogs can say that?!! Biggie is beautiful inside and out and his coat is the softest I’ve ever felt, like running my hand over a bolt of satin. He can be a little shy at first, but speed things up with a gentle hand sniff or a tasty treat, and Biggie will adjust your status from stranger to trusted friend in no time. He quite literally pees the minute he leaves his den and proves to be an eager but responsive walker who likes to make plenty of ‘sniff stops’ along the way. Off-leash, his energetic personality shines, and while he’s keen to show off his ‘come’ and ‘sit’ for a treat or the ball, as soon as another dog enters a neighboring pen, the program shifts to glued-to-the-fence vocalizing and tail wagging, and our photo shoot has clearly fallen to the bottom of his to-do list! Biggie is full of fun but he has a sensitive side too, and he’s looking for a new family who’ll be able to lavish him, not with expensive toys or food, but with something much more precious…time and love. Is your heart big enough for Biggie?
