Story
Meet Bavo — a gentle-giant puppy who would be the perfect family dog!
Bavo is a super people-oriented pup who adores all people — including children. Put him in a room full of dogs and one person, and he will go straight for the person, even if he’s never met them before. He loves to snuggle up real close, give kisses and then roll over for belly rubs.
Bavo and his six siblings were born at the end of January and found their way to a loving foster home at one week old. They were handled and loved by humans since they were tiny pups and that shows in their extra-loving dispositions today.
Bavo truly has those lazy big-dog vibes already and he’s not even four months old yet. He was approaching 30 pounds at 14 weeks old on May 7, which puts him on track to be a very large dog. He may be very friendly, but he is also calm and gentle. He tires out easily and will find a cool spot to relax after a play session with his puppy friends. Take him on a walk and he will be ready for a nice long nap. He’s well on his way to being a couch potato!
We’ve labeled Bavo as a Shepherd/Husky mix, but we know his breed results will be much more complex when they come back. His mama, Sugar, is about the same size as her pups, so we know daddy had to have been huge.
Bavo is almost fully potty trained and working on crate training and walking on a leash. He’s very intelligent, treat motivated and eager to please his human.
Bavo and his sister Gretel are the last of a litter of seven. The other siblings are getting rave reviews in their new forever homes. They’ve done well in homes with others dogs and in homes with small children. We hope two more forever homes will come along soon for these very deserving and loving puppies.
