Dudley McFloof is 80 pounds of fluff, feelings, and complete confidence that his people are the greatest thing to ever happen to planet Earth. He looks like a polar bear, loves like a Labrador, and has just enough Great Pyrenees independence to pretend he cannot hear you when your plans do not align with his. Most days, you can find him wandering around like he owns the place, supervising everyone’s questionable decisions, or reversing that enormous fluffy booty directly into someone for scratches. Watch his video and fall in love with this lovable giant: https://youtu.be/8-ld2fyDwlE?si=ATbtqfhVGYGIFijd Dudley is approximately 3 years old and currently weighs around 80 pounds. We believe he may be a Great Pyrenees and Labrador mix, but with animal rescue, breed and age are always a mystery and our best guesses. Not only is he handsome as all get out but he’s so sweet and affectionate. To the point to where you can’t help but want to give him the biggest bear hug. He has spent time around children approximately 5 and 8 years old and did wonderfully with them. Dudley was gentle, tolerant, and genuinely happy to be included. He has wonderful potential to become an amazing family dog for a home with respectful children, especially if those children understand that fluffy booty scratches are now part of their household responsibilities. Dudley is dog friendly and currently fostered in a multi-dog home with dogs of all different sizes and personalities. He does best with dogs who understand his cool, calm, and collected approach to life. While the other dogs are running around making questionable choices, Dudley is usually nearby serving as unpaid security and making sure nobody gets too out of hand. He is perfectly comfortable around playful dogs, but he will give fair corrections if another dog becomes too pushy or a younger pup forgets how to act in public. Occasionally, the mood strikes and Dudley joins the fun, but he is not interested in turning every hour into recess. He would much rather explore, mind his own business, and check in periodically to collect the booty scratches he is owed. Dudley could happily live with another respectful, easygoing dog, but he will not be offended if his future family does not provide him with a full-time wrestling partner. Dudley also met our house cat Biggie and handled the introduction like a perfect gentleman. He did not chase Biggie and was completely unbothered by him jumping around and engaging in the usual mysterious cat activities. Biggie appeared comfortable around Dudley too. We do not know whether Dudley has ever lived with a cat, and this was our first time observing him around one. If you have a cat at home, a sleepover can be arranged upon request. Just let us know! Dudley is a smart guy, although he occasionally likes to pretend he has never heard a human word in his entire life. He knows how to sit, loves treats, and takes them very gently. From what we have seen, he also has great house manners and understands that the bathroom is located outside. He is intelligent, capable, and happy to cooperate whenever he determines your request is reasonable. Like many Great Pyrenees and their mixes, Dudley is not a fan of being contained. If his future family plans to crate him, he will need a sturdy crate built to safely accommodate a large, clever dog with several opinions. He would also do best in a house with a backyard rather than an apartment. Dudley enjoys having room to stretch his legs, investigate important smells, patrol his property, and occasionally use his talking voice without the neighbors calling an emergency community meeting. A tall, sturdy, and secure fence will be important because Dudley is curious, intelligent, and fully capable of pursuing his own agenda. You might assume a massive 80-pound dog could hop into a car without assistance. Dudley would like you to stop making assumptions. That particular feature was apparently not included in his operating system, so he currently needs someone to scoop him up and hoist all 80 pounds into the vehicle. Once loaded, he is a good car rider. It is simply getting him inside that doubles as leg day. Dudley also enjoys the water and would love a family that includes him in outdoor adventures, backyard hangouts, and everyday life. He is goofy, gentle, affectionate, and unbelievably devoted to his people. He may take up a little extra room in the house, but he will fill every bit of it with fluff, laughter, and love. If you are ready for one enormous best friend, one dedicated household supervisor, and a lifetime commitment to booty scratches, Dudley is ready to come home. We are willing to test Dudley McFloof with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.
