Oh, honey! Prepare to have your heart melted by the delightful charm of this precious bulldog mix named Virgil! 🌟 This handsome fella is about 5 years old and weighs 53 pounds of pure love and joy. Can you imagine his adorable little body wiggling with excitement when you walk through the door? Belly rubs and wiggle-tastic moments await you! Whether it’s splashing in the water or just lounging in the sun watching the world go by, Virgil is ready to start a new chapter in life with you! 🌊🐾 Now, let’s talk about this fantastic creature. You see, Virgil has the traits of an American Bulldog but possesses the spirit of a water-loving pooch! He's absolutely obsessed with anything that floats—fetching tennis balls and sticks outdoors makes him absolutely giddy! Picture him as a natural mer-man, splashing joyfully about, wading in the water for those prizes. What a character! 🎾🐕 Virgil is incredibly low maintenance. He enjoys the simple pleasures in life, like lazy afternoons soaking up the sun, observing nature’s wonders, and cozying up to his humans. Although he loves outdoor adventures—don’t get him wrong—he’s got a charmingly mellow side too. He turns meal time into a playful event, batting around his food-filled Rolly Kong like a superstar! And, can you believe it? This dapper dude adores being pampered and brushed! 💖 Speaking of personality, Virgil is a big softie at heart. He’s food-motivated, which is fabulous because it helps him warm up to new friends. If you come bearing treats, he’ll show you tricks from sitting to shaking hands like a total pro! Isn’t that just sweet? However, bless his heart, he has endured a tough past of abandonment. But with his resilient spirit and the love of his foster family, he’s truly blossomed! 🌼 He now struts around the house with a bouncy, puppy-like enthusiasm! But what he needs from you is love, understanding, and a bit of patience. Yes, Virgil may be wary of strangers, so an experienced home will help him feel safe and cherished. 🏡✨ Important note: this sweetheart is not a fan of other dogs or cats, but he would flourish in a home with older kids who have some dog experience. He would absolutely thrive in a stable forever home with a fenced yard and some water access – can you imagine summer days splashing together? He’s not cut out for busy apartment life, so think big when it comes to his living space! 👌 Virgil is waiting for his forever family in Gloucester, MA, and it's your turn to open your heart to him! You can’t get enough of his cuddles and companionship once you give him a chance. All you need to do is complete your adoption application through the Buddy App! Don’t wait – Virgil is ready to fill your life with laughter and love! 🌈💞
