🎉 Oh, get those tissues ready, ladies and gentlemen, because Rigby is about to steal your heart! 🥹 Meet Rigby, a wise and gentle giant weighing in at a solid 100 pounds of pure love, who happens to be a Mastiff-Chow mix. This majestic boy has a story that tugs at the heartstrings, as he was rescued from the clutches of animal control where his history remains a mystery, thanks to some uncooperative staff. But fear not! What we do know is that Rigby is one of the smartest dogs you could ever meet! 🐾 Rigby absolutely thrives on learning! He enjoys perfecting his skills, mastering “sit,” “shake,” “up,” and “lay down” like a pro. However, because of his impressive size, he has not had the opportunity to mingle with other pups, which, let's be honest, would lead to some awkward moments that might not end well. 🌟 Therefore, Rigby’s future family should not have any other dogs. Now let’s talk about his personality! Rigby is like the calm friend who always knows where the snacks are. He rarely barks, just likes to keep an ear out for any strange noises or new visitors. We suspect that he’s seen some things in his past life that have shaped him into the cool-headed gentleman he is today. And the way to this boy’s heart? Peanut butter! 🥜✨ Now, before you rush to grab him a jar, here's a little nuance—Rigby has faced some challenges, including resource guarding. This gentleman is looking for a home without children, where he can feel safe and secure enough to enjoy his meals without worry. We understand it’s a lot to ask, but he’s worth it! He deserves to feel safe and loved without the fear of having to fight for his food. Let’s not forget to mention that Rigby may just be the best buddy for any cat! With his calm yet curious demeanor, he could have a great friendship brewing! 💖 Now, about how to treat this beautiful soul: no restraints, please! No reaching over his body or hugging him, because it’s clear that he's had a hurtful past. But with patience and love, Rigby’s desensitization exercises have turned into a delightful game of head scratches and tail wags! 🎊 Rigby is not intimidated by strangers or men, and he absolutely lights up when you talk to him! This handsome giant has been on a journey, and now he’s ready to find his forever home. If you see a soul as bright as his in your future, then it's time to apply to adopt Rigby through the Buddy App, where you can give this loving giant the forever home he truly deserves! 💕
