About Firefly
Firefly is every bit the playful, oversized puppy—full of chaos, joy, and boundless energy. He’s the kind of dog who keeps you moving, always ready for a game or a sprint around the yard. Firefly and his sister were left behind by their previous owners, so he’s bursting with pent-up enthusiasm and has a bit of catching up to do in terms of play and guidance. Underneath his rowdy spirit is a soft, affectionate side; once you get him to focus, Firefly will happily curl up for a long snuggle. With Labrador Retriever and Shepherd in his background, Firefly’s energy level is high, and he’s still figuring things out after a rough start. At only about 10 months old and already tipping the scale at 60 lbs, he’s headed for an even larger frame—those big paws don’t lie. He’s best matched with other dogs who are playful and confident enough to handle his bossy streak. Submissive but energetic canine friends or older dogs who can show him the ropes will do well. Firefly is still working on house training and basic manners, but he’s young and eager to learn with someone willing to put in the time. Firefly deserves to spend his formative months in a real home, not in a shelter kennel. He’s waiting in The Dalles, OR—don’t let this gentle giant’s best days pass him by. What are you waiting for?
