Meet the sweetest big boi you could ever wish for! This charming 2-year-old, 80-pound Shepherd mix is on a mission to find his forever home after a whirlwind adventure that began in Pasadena due to those pesky fires. He has journeyed through a foster home, bonded with his previous TAP foster, and landed with his fabulous crew since January 19. Talk about resilience! 🌟 Neutered and potty trained, this big-hearted boy is working hard on his crate and leash manners. And guess what? Treats are his superpower! 🦸‍♂️ He’s a quick learner—who wouldn’t be when treats are involved? He’s already mastered a few tricks and is a champion at the “wait” command. You’ll find him patiently standing at the door or eagerly awaiting his meals. Now, while he exudes calmness and independence in his downtime, he also has a playful side! When he’s not napping or chewing on his toys, he loves to sniff around and explore the great outdoors. 🌳 However, he’s just a bit camera-shy when it comes to new folks; a few barks might escape him, but give him some time and soon enough, he’ll be melting under those loveable belly rubs! And yes, he may have attempted some ‘counter surfing’—curiosity is part of his charm! 🐾 His history with other dogs is a little complex. While he lived harmoniously with a Corgi, on walks, he can be quite the reactive pup when he sees other four-legged friends. Is he looking to play, or feeling a bit unsure? Slow and supervised introductions will work wonders if you think he deserves a furry sibling. 🐶 Not much of an exercise junkie, he’s perfectly content with just 10-15 minutes of play each day (fetch is his go-to!). A yard where he can explore at his leisure would be a dream come true! 🏡 This precious soul would thrive with someone who’s around most of the time so they can form that strong, loving bond. Once he feels safe and loved, he transforms into the shining companion you’ve always wanted! This incredible journey is just beginning, and he knows he can be the perfect addition to the right home. Can you open up your heart and yard for a sweet, curious big boy who just wants some belly rubs? 🥰 His adoption fee is $350, covering spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip! To make him a part of your family, remember: you must apply through the Buddy App! Let’s get him home together! 🎉
