Story
I'm entering the Freedom Tails program and plan to graduate on July 3, 2024! pawsgh.org/freedomtailsBigboi Beef Stew is a great young man who would make a great addition to most homes. He doesn't know his own strengths and can get a bit too rowdy if he gets overstimulated, but calms down with a hug, some chest rubs, and a booty scratch. He adores attention but has never learned the proper way to ask. His go-to right now is to aim for a piece of clothing to try and pull you in and if he goes misunderstood then it turns into a game of tug. There is a certain look that he will give when he needs some extra love and he does great with a hug and a little bit of redirection to a toy. He made his way to us from Hoquiam Animal control where he spent 5-6 months waiting for room with us here at PAWS GH. He has been a joy to get to know while in our care. He is nothing but happy all the time and enjoys the company of anyone willing to say hello. He has made so many new human friends and dog friends here at PAWS and is willing to make many more! He is now one of our long term stays and has been living the shelter life for about 9 months total. He has been patiently waiting for the right family to come along but he is starting to get antsy. He is a very cuddly, loving, smart, playful pup looking for that special home willing to give him a chance to show what a great dog he truly is. Bonus: He has made friends with our most selective dog and longest term resident Jojo! Adopt him with Jojo as part of a AOGO promotion!

Today, I weighed in at 80lbs. I am built like a horse, and people say I sound like a horse too. Presumably, they are talking about my heavy footsteps because I am not the whinnying type; I am in fact very quiet most of the time. I will pick-up light barks and whines when other dogs are complaining, but when I am by myself, I am usually very quiet–like I said. Petting me is like petting a horse. All this talk about horses..I suppose I should clarify that I am indeed a bulldog. I imagine you could see that from my stupendous picture. Get it “Stu” pendous-haha.I would really like a new home. I promise I will be good. People say I am super-duper well tempered. I will make an all-around great family dog, Someday…5/2/2024 You know I have been holding back a little bit in my performance, you know to let the other dogs catch-up. I have heard people saying things like, “exceeds all expectations” and ”‘ahead of the class.” That is why my head is so big(haha). No, but really I am a bulldog so my head is supposed to be big. I have turned into a true performer and I would even go as far as to say entertainer. So, get out the hoops this summer for those backyard BBQs, sit back and relax and watch all your guests be amazed at all of my tricks. Oh, and by the way, don’t forget to put a couple of fat steaks or burgers on the grill FOR ME!Please apply to adopt at: http://www.pawsgh.org
