A volunteer writes:   A big bruiser of a boy, fed with love and as gentle as can be.  Quiet in his kennel, wagging his tail slightly as I unlatched his door, he steps down carefully and out we go.   Taking care of his ‘business’ is his first priority and then he shows off lovely leash manners as we walk to the park.  What a delight!  In the park he doesn’t mind being tethered for photos, shows me his ‘sit’, and takes treats gently.  Surrendered as his family is moving where he isn’t welcome, we’re told that he gets along with children and all people, lived well with a female dog, and gets along with cats.  He doesn’t guard his things, enjoys bathing and grooming, loves to play fetch, is energetic and affectionate, loves belly rubs, and is well behaved when left home alone.   Off leash in the yard  Buju gets bouncy excited when he sees other dogs, his tail wagging in happy greeting. He’s friendly and sweet, up on the bench to give me a kiss or two or three, and then backs into me for a butt scratch!  I imagine this ranks right up there as among one of his favorite things as he does the butt scratch shuffle – love that!!  Calm and gentle, Buju is a plus size dog with plus size sweetness and I’m totally in love with his quiet demeanor.  Easy to be with his calm persona attracts attention even as we walked in the park.  Be prepared for everyone to comment as you walk side by side.  His excellent resume speaks to a wonderful companion and he’s waiting to show you just how wonderful.   Come meet our gentle giant today…..guaranteed you’ll fall in love.
