About Neptune

Meet Neptune, a charming hound mix who is about 2 years old and weighs around 80 lbs. Also known as Big Head, Neptune has made remarkable progress in his foster home, learning the ropes from his three dog siblings. His days are filled with playtime, couch lounging, and the occasional chipmunk investigation. Though he can be a bit like Scooby-Doo around new sights and sounds, he’s not aggressive; he simply seeks solace in his crate when things feel overwhelming. Neptune thrives in a home with another friendly dog or regular playdates. He enjoys blankets and savory snacks and is great on a leash, especially with a canine companion by his side. While he's great with older kids (12+), he hasn't been around younger children yet. This adorable boy is house trained and crate trained, ready for his forever home. Show him kindness and patience, and he’ll reward you with his sweet and goofy spirit. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
