Hi there... my name is Bigs. Im a 1.5-year-old mixed breed dog, and while no one is quite sure what Im made of, Ive been told I look a bit like a giant Puggle - big eyes, a soft face, and a heart thats learning how to feel safe again.<br/><br/>My story didnt start out easy. I was abandoned in the summer heat along a quiet country road, crammed into a small dog crate with two other big dogs. It was scary and confusing, and it taught me to be a little cautious at first. But every day, with kindness and gentle words, Im learning that the world isnt such a bad place after all.<br/><br/>Im a shy guy, but underneath that is a very sweet soul who just needs time and patience to come out of his shell. Once I start to trust you, Ill be your quiet shadow, your soft-eyed companion, and your reminder that love can heal even the hardest beginnings. Im making wonderful progress every day, and Im so proud of how far Ive come.<br/><br/>If you have room in your heart and home for a dog who will love you deeply once he feels safe, I might be the one youve been waiting for. I cant wait to find a family of my very own - could it be you?
