About Biscuit

Biscuit is a gentle soul, a 5-year-old mix of Golden Retriever and Great Pyrenees. Weighing around 60 pounds, he has a stunning golden and white coat that’s long and soft to the touch. Originally adopted by a lovely couple, Biscuit is now looking for a new home due to unexpected health issues of his former owners. He shines with children of all ages, displaying both loyalty and playfulness. Biscuit doesn’t bark much, making him a quieter companion, and he mixes well with other dogs. A fenced yard is a must for him to enjoy his time outdoors. However, Biscuit does have a few quirks; he has a strong instinct to chase small animals and may need a cat-free home. He can also be protective of his owner around unfamiliar dogs. Fireworks and thunder make him nervous, so a calm environment will benefit him greatly. Biscuit holds a special place in our hearts, and we’re dedicated to finding the perfect match for him. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
