Introducing the charming Big Poppa! 🐾 This dapper gentleman may have reached his golden years at around 10 years old, but let me tell you, he is bursting with vivacity and joy! Weighing in at about 70 pounds, Big Poppa is a delightful buddy for those leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. He might not be a swimmer, but don't be surprised if you catch him merrily dipping his front paws into shallow water—just imagine those delightful beachside walks! 🌊 What truly sets Big Poppa apart is his adorable curiosity! Just picture him squeezing into the tiniest of spots to investigate—it's bound to make you chuckle out loud! 😂 He thrives on gentle affection, adoring head pats and chin scratches, and if you’re lucky enough, his gratitude might just come in the form of a sweet, slobbery kiss! 😘 This lovable guy has a serene side too. When it's time to unwind, Big Poppa would happily lie by your side during a cozy movie night. He's still exploring the world of toys and has shown flickers of interest while watching other dogs play—oh, the joy of learning! 🐕 Big Poppa has been a perfect gentleman with all the dogs he has met, gentle and patient even with puppies. However, he prefers to keep his distance from cats for now. 🐈‍⬛ With his unique mix of silliness, sweetness, and a penchant for relaxation, Big Poppa is a quintessential easy-going companion. While he may bark for a moment when crated if he senses people nearby, don’t worry—he settles down quickly! Don't let his age fool you; this lovable furball enjoys his nighttime snug in a kennel and can manage some alone time during the day like a champ. Food? Oh, Big Poppa loves it! If he thinks there’s a snack nearby, be ready for his charming attempts to grab your hand. Just show him it’s empty and watch how smart he is—he gets it! But he is no kitchen ninja; rest assured, he doesn’t jump up onto counters, even if he’s eyeing something delicious! 🍗 Due to some past health issues, he has some permanent ear damage, but that doesn’t stop him from living life to the fullest. Big Poppa dreams of a relaxed home, perhaps with an older couple or a younger one eager for a well-rounded dog. He’s good with older kids but prefers the peace of a calm environment without younger ones. 🌟 Big Poppa’s had a tough time finding the love he deserves, but he’s ready to embrace his golden years in a warm, welcoming family. He will be available for adoption on or after November 14th. If you’re an approved adopter interested in bringing this delightful guy into your life, *apply through the Buddy App* to ensure you don’t miss out on this extraordinary companion!
