Meet Big!
Big is a 9-month-old Lemon English Pointer with a heart as giant as his name. This handsome pup is deaf, but he doesn’t let that slow him down for a second—he experiences the world with boundless enthusiasm, curiosity, and joy!
Personality & Favorite Things
Total Goofball: Sweet, affectionate, and endlessly silly, Big brings pure warmth and laughter wherever he goes.
Playtime Enthusiast: He thrives in the company of his foster siblings and loves nothing more than a good game of romp and chase in the yard.
Stuffie Collector: When he isn’t playing with other dogs, you can usually find him happily carrying around or snuggling his favorite plush toys.
Gentle Nature: He doesn’t seem to have any prey drive, making him a great candidate for households with cats or other small critters.
Training & Ideal Home Requirements
Another Dog Preferred: Having another dog in the home is ideal for Big. He loves canine companionship, and a confident resident dog helps him navigate the world and learn the routine.
Home Dynamics & Kids: Since Big can’t hear someone coming up behind him, he can get a little caught off guard if surprised. Older kids who understand how to approach him thoughtfully would be the best fit, while a home without toddlers or very young children will keep things low-stress for everyone.
Puppy Behaviors: True to his age, Big is still full of puppy energy and is currently working on his manners. He can be a bit mouthy when he gets excited or wants to play, so he’ll need a family ready to gently redirect that energy.
Hand Signals & Continued Training: Big is currently learning hand signals! He will need an adoptive family dedicated to continuing his positive-reinforcement training to help him learn boundaries and build confidence.
Health & Adoption Info
Big is neutered, microchipped, and fully up to date on all vaccinations. If you have the patience, love, and commitment to help this sweet boy grow into his best self.
