About Twiggy

They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply? Twiggy is a stunning Lab/Great Pyrenees mix who has a heart as big as his size. Rescued after being found wandering in the desert, Twiggy quickly proved himself to be a loving companion, hopping right into the car when offered help. He has since been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and is now searching for his forever family. Twiggy adores affection—he's the type of dog who loves to curl up in your lap and shower you with kisses. Fetch is one of his favorite games, and he can't resist burying his beloved toys. While leash manners are a work in progress, his gentle nature shines through, especially when playing with smaller dogs and his favorite Jindo mix friend. With proper introductions, he shows promise in getting along with any canine companion. At 69 pounds and about 2 years old (making him a Capricorn—the perfect sign for a loyal friend!), Twiggy is best suited to a home with a backyard or frequent visits to parks and beaches. He thrives in the outdoors, and his love for children makes him a wonderful family dog. Twiggy’s dream is to find a loving, active family who values his playful spirit and affectionate personality. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
