Big Dan in IL - Calm & Curious Cutie!

Big Dan is a happy fella who loves people and craves attention. You will love running your hands through his medium-length, super soft coat too, so it’s a win-win! Dan came into rescue with his five brothers, and all of them have young dog energy, enjoying an active lifestyle full of play and adventure. They are half Cattle Dog, half Great Pyrenees, and 100% Good Boys! Dan is learning to walk on leash, and barks only to alert. He’s great with dogs and has been non-reactive to the cats he’s seen. His foster pawrents describe him as “calm and curious,” loving to explore the world around him! He is also a patient guy, willing to wait for his pets. That said, when his littermates fall back, Dan moves in to claim your heart! He’s an affectionate little man who loves to snuggle with his people. More of his favorite things include snacking on strawberries, chowing down on a ball of cabbage, and taking trips to the river for playtime on the beach, and cool-down swims! Splashing around in the water is so much fun! Dan’s ideal home will be with an active family that would like to take him on adventures, and have a canine sibling for him to play tug-of-war with (a favorite game of his!). This sweet boy is friendly with everyone he meets, and he is so looking forward to the day he gets to meet his furever family!
