About Bode

Meet Bode! This big boy has a big heart and so much love to give. At around 3 years old, he is a charming Lab/Great Pyrenees mix searching for a family to call his own.

His future family should appreciate his lovable, independent spirit. While he's good with kids, a home with older children is ideal since he can be protective of his toys and treats.
