Meet Pablo! This big man thinks he is your lap dog, despite the 120 pounds he sees on the scale. Pablo is a ball of energy and absolutely loves meeting new people. He is always the center of attention, and he plans to keep it that way! Due to his size, Pablo is definitely a strong boy on the leash! He is an enthusiastic walker, eager to get to wherever he can sniff! He would greatly benefit from long walks, exercise, and lots of playtime. He could definitely shed a few pounds in the future, but hey, can't we all! We are recommending he loses some weight before heavily exercising, just so he does not injure himself in the process. If you have other furry friends at home, we would recommend doing a meet here to ensure both parties are happy in the home. He is an energetic player, but will happily sploot out on the ground and show off his froggy legs to you once he is done. He is a lot of dog, but in the best type of way! If you are looking for a happy boy to join your family, Pablo is your type of dog! Ready to Adopt?
