Newt is a striking, large male Pointer mix with an easy charm and plenty of character. At just under three years old, he blends the steady calmness of many big breeds with the playfulness of a pup. Picture him bounding across the backyard with a wildly wagging tail or stretching out next to you, always up for company or the next adventure. Newt craves affection and thrives when he’s part of the action, whether that means joining in on family fun or winding down for quiet snuggles. He’s the sort of dog who draws people in with his good nature and silly moments—those goofy expressions and spurts of energy catch you off guard and brighten the day. While he enjoys being around people, Newt is happiest in a home where he’s truly cherished and made part of the family, not just kept for his looks. Prospective adopters need to meet him in person to really get a sense of his personality and what he can bring to a home. Born August 4, Newt is a Leo, which might explain that bold but lovable confidence you see in him. If you’re looking for a social, easygoing companion with a big heart, Newt’s ready to meet you in Owenton, KY. Your next best friend could be waiting. Ready to fall in love?
