Oh, dear friends, meet the lovely Shamus! 🌟 This gentle giant waltzed into our lives as a stray in June of 2023, and let me tell you, this loveable boy is bursting with personality! At around 3-4 years old and weighing in at a solid 70 lbs, he’s got the spirit of a puppy but the heart of a loving giant. When he first arrived, Shamus had no clue how to walk on a leash, but with a sprinkle of dedication and a dash of hard work, he has transformed into a walking buddy extraordinaire! 🚶‍♂️❤️ Imagine strolling through the park with this handsome hunk by your side, turning heads wherever you go. Now, let’s chat about some of Shamus’s quirks—he prefers a home where he can be the star of the show, so sadly, no cats, dogs, or other small critters should be in the house. But he's a family-friendly fella who thinks he’s a tiny lap dog! Can you imagine the joy (and potential topple scenarios 😂) when he snuggles up to the kiddos? He’s also crate trained and, with a strong routine, he’s almost fully house-trained—just a little reminder, regular potty breaks make all the difference! Shamus has a playful side, too; he loves to chew on hard toys and bones, but beware—he lives for the thrill of ripping apart a plush toy! The joy he gets from carrying around a toy shell is truly something you have to see to believe. 🧸💖 For all you wonderful adopters out there with large dog handling skills and a commitment to attend some extra training classes, Shamus can’t wait to meet you! He’s ready to show you just how much love he has to give. So, why wait? Apply for Shamus through the Buddy App today, and let’s find him a forever home! 🏡✨
