HEADLINER :  BIG MAMA

HISTORY : Big Mama was rescued by animal control for  abuse. She was tied to a tree and left outside in all  types of weather and temperature year round with absolutely no shelter.  

PERSONALITY : Big Mama is a perfect dog. She is big and fluffy, loves cuddles and is goofy and entertaining. She listens well, comes when called and is very obedient. She is a Tibetan Mastiff but acts like a lab. Very calm and relaxed all the time.  

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES : Walks.  Big Mama loves to go for walks and enjoys meeting new people. She will sit for pets.  She is safe and gentle around all kinds of people (kids, teens, adults and older adults). Big Mama loves playing with, chewing, throwing, and chasing toys. She enjoys running with her  older foster brother. Shealso  loves the outside during the cooler days and the air conditioner vents during the warmer days.

MEDICAL ISSUES :  None known.

WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME : Big Mama loves the outdoors especially during the cooler days. She would love to spend her time lying outside so a fenced in yard or a house with a covered patio would be nice. A big dog sibling would be nice for her to run around with. Big Mama is still a puppy at heart and loves to play. She likes walks and attention so a family that can walk her, give her lots of attention and expose her to new things would be ideal.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS : Big Mama is a very loving, sweet and kind dog. She is intelligent and sensitive.
