Big Earl Mastiff & Boxer Mix Springfield, MO

Life may have been "ruff," but I'm here to prove... good karma DOES exist!

I'm Earl, aka "Big Earl", a 3-year-old, 80ish pound gentle and silly boy!

I was rescued from death row, where I landed for the petty crime of being stray and alone. While nobody from my before ever showed up for me, some pretty amazing rescuers did :)

I am a big goofball who is as cool as a cucumber! I am an expert at being calm and collected, and am the best little spoon you could ask for! I am also a strapping gent who loves to walk and jog and take in all the sights and sounds with my person! I would be a paw-fect hiking partner and would love to be your sidekick for daily exercise. I would do best in a house setting with a fenced yard, however I possibly could do well without a fence as long as I am getting exercise! I am flawlessly kennel-trained, potty-trained, and leash-trained! My favorite way to spend an evening is holding paws (literally) and watching our favorite show!

I am excellent with polite dogs like me, no un-mannerly mutts please! I have not had any introductions to cats, but I can be cat tested. I do great with children and smalls of any age, so long as they are sturdy as my dinosaur tail may knock a tiny tot down! I am a proud graduate of Pups for Parole, too! I'm not just beauty... I've got the brains to boot! My trainer said that I am a big marshmallow fluff boy and I excelled in every aspect of learning how to dog :) I am a pro at "sit", "place", "down", and "shake" (my favorite)!

I would love a forever big spoon to call my very own. I've been waiting for you all my life! Apply to adopt me today!
