No out of state applicants, please. I'm just a big boy who loves my stuffed lambey. Yes, that's right. I might look intimidating and am close relatives to bomb and police dogs, but not me! I am happiest when carrying around my stuffed babies. Oh, and I also like to show the water hose who's boss and attack the water when mom or dad are watering the plants. And I have another skill to tell you about - I can open some doors! It's a handy trick, but mom and dad aren't as impressed... I don't know why?  Overall, mom and dad say I'm a loveable, dopey boy. As mentioned above, I have a soft spot for plushy toys and like to carry them around to show them off. I also love chilling on the couch with my hoomans and dog siblings, roaming around the backyard, or going on neighborhood walks with our pack. My hoomans say my only annoying trait is that I'm pretty vocal - I'm usually pretty pumped in the morning and like to tell them so. I also like to roam around the backyard and bark at nothing at all except to let everyone know that I'm there. Super fun, right? That said, I'm an old man with a gentle soul. As long as my people accept me for who I am, and give me lots of love, we'll get along just fine.  Why I'm awesome and what kind of home I'd thrive in: I'm a gentle giant who's pretty happy-go-lucky and spry despite my age and what I've endured. I like being with my people, I'm somewhat a shadow, so I'd like a home where my family is home with me the majority of the time. I suffer from a severe case of "fomo" when I'm separated from my family or feel like I'm missing out on the action. I also am pretty used to the comfy couches and beds at my foster home and would like someone who doesn't mind me making myself at home on their furniture too. I'm medium-level energy; I'm spunky for my age, but am still recovering from heartworms so I have to make sure my activity is low to moderate. Also, I love my fur-siblings and spend time around/near them throughout each day. Anything else you want to know about me - just ask!
