My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Beefcake is a master of disguise – we’ve come to learn that he’s actually a Golden Retriever stuck in his big boy Pittie/Cane Corso body. He’s ~1 yr old, 55 lbs (maybe has 5-10 more lbs to gain), and is an absolute goofball.

He plays wonderfully with other dogs and loves to play tag and wrestle but is also respectful of dogs that may not be interested in playing. If there aren’t any dogs to play with, he also enjoys a game of tug or fetch with his foster humans! He would love to have a doggie sibling (especially one that loves to play with him) but would also be just fine as a solo pup.

If you’re looking for a weighted blanket, look no further. In the house, Beefcake transforms into a loaf and his preferred cuddle position is directly on top of you. He’ll never say no to a movie night, but he has no preference on genre so it’s your pick every night! He’s very quiet and isn’t bothered by outside noises / sights (e.g., lawnmowers, garbage trucks, passing dogs, etc.) so he makes for a great working-from-home partner too.

He’s up to date on all vaccines, neutered, house trained, and crate trained. He loves to learn – he knows how to sit, walks well on a leash (except when he sees a squirrel), working on his place command, and is generally keen to learn new things.

Other things to know:
- He has a high prey drive, especially for squirrels. We’re working on this every day and he’s improving, but his new family should be prepared to help him continue working through this to ensure walks are enjoyable for everyone.
- He’s interested in the neighborhood outdoor cats and has politely met one that was laying down. However, with his prey drive, he may be better in a home without cats.
- He hasn’t had the opportunity to meet children directly, but he has walked past them in close proximity / watched them at the Farmer’s Market and at the park and didn’t seem bothered or overly interested. We think he’d be okay in a home with kids but it would be best if they’re older given his size and energy levels.

Beefcake is located in Houston, TX but can be transported out of state.
