Howie

I'm a big boy with an even bigger heart. I've got so much love to give, and I'm ready to be your most loyal companion. Let me tell you a little about myself--I'm a mix of laid-back cuddler and noble guardian, and I think you're going to love me just the way I am. When I spent a couple of overnights in a home, I did so well that they couldn't wait to have me back! I'm a gentleman in the house--fully housebroken with no accidents, and I don't get into anything I shouldn't. I didn't even try to climb on the furniture because I'm perfectly happy with a plump dog bed and a fluffy comforter. At night, I'll curl up right at the foot of your bed and stay there all night, snoozing happily. I'm fantastic on a leash and walk calmly by your side--no pulling, no fuss. I love treats and chewies, and I'll sit politely and give you my paw in exchange for a snack. I've got a very soft mouth, too, so no worries there! While I enjoy my walks and adventures, I'm just as happy curling up next to you while we watch TV. I'm the definition of a love bug when I'm with my people.<br/>Now, I do have a more serious side. I'm a loyal and strong protector of my inner circle, which means I'm not too keen on strangers approaching me or my family. If I don't know a person or situation, I can get uncomfortable, and I'll let you know it--so I'll need someone who understands that. Because of this, I'll do best in a calm, structured home where I won't be put in stressful situations. I'll also need a sedative and muzzle for things like vet visits, nail trims, or restraint--tools that will keep me and everyone around me safe and stress-free. Weighing just under 100 pounds, I live up to my name as a noble watchman and guardian. I love my family fiercely, and once you're in my circle, you're there forever--especially if belly rubs are involved. In fact, I'd probably let you give me belly rubs 24/7 if you wanted to! I'm happiest when I have space to roam and explore, so a home with a doggie door and a nice yard (or even some land!) would be my dream come true. I love the outdoors--whether it's land or water, count me in! I'll be happiest as the only pet in the home, though--more room for me and all your love. Oh, and one little quirk: I might have some piglet in me because I love to dig! It's great exercise, but I probably won't be the best fit if you're looking for a perfectly manicured lawn. Speaking of quirks, I have one big obsession: the water hose. I absolutely love it, but if I'm allowed to play with it, I'll get way too over-the-top excited. It's best to just avoid letting me have too much fun with the hose--trust me, it's better for everyone! I know I'm not for everyone, but for the right person--someone who understands my big heart and my big personality--I'll be the most loyal, loving companion you could ever ask for. If you think we could be a match, I'd love to meet you.<br/>Love, Howie<br/><br/>Requirements: Martingale Collar; 6' Fence; Misfit; Handler Appointment OnlyAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home.
