Story
Hey world, Austin here! I'm a super happy little boy who is ready to find his forever family. I long for the days that I am able to run in the back yard with tiny humans. I know one day they will find me. I am still a pup so that means I do need some working with still but I'm working on keeping my area clean and walking on a leash. I love it outside and playing with all these toys. I'm loving all the attention I get here, and these furry friends here are the best. Come take a look at me and my friends here at Big Dog Ranch!

Story
Meet Bart, a 4-year-old mixed breed who was originally brought to us as an owner surrender in 2024. He’s a well-rounded dog with a moderate energy level, making him a great fit for someone looking for a companion who enjoys both playtime and downtime. Bart has experience living in a home and comes with some great basics already in place—he’s housetrained, knows basic commands, and settles nicely into a routine. He enjoys playing with toys and will happily entertain himself, but one of his favorite things is simply being close to his person. Bart is a big fan of cuddling and forms strong bonds with the people he trusts. Bart is dog selective and would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can have his space and build a strong, focused connection with his owner. He is also looking for an adult-only home, as he is not a good match for households with children. With his moderate energy and ability to settle, Bart could do well in an apartment or condo setting, as long as his daily exercise and enrichment needs are met. He would thrive with an adopter who has some experience and can provide structure, consistency, and continued guidance. Bart is a loyal, affectionate dog who is ready to find a stable home where he can relax, play, and be someone’s constant companion.
