Big Daddy - a super handsome bully boy! Just look at those gorgeous colors!

This sweet guy had been on the streets in an economically challenged part of Memphis, traveling around with some other dogs. While attempting to trap a female dog, Big Daddy was hanging around, so the rescuers were able to rescue him as well—he went so willingly.

Big Daddy LOVES his toys, lick and snuffle mats, treats, and ice cubes!

He is a major fan of walks, walking into ponds and lakes and chomping on the water, and going for car rides. He likes to be near his people, happily hanging out with everyone on the couch, but will also give you your space. He's not shy to ask for cuddles and pets though! BD is great with older kids.

BD lived with other pups in his southern foster home, but he's since shown us that he'd prefer to be your one and only. He loves cats though and is living with one, but he also thinks they're able to play rough with him...so at his size, we recommend either a no-cat home or separated areas of the home unless supervised.

BD would thrive in a home that has a fairly consistent routine. A fenced yard is highly recommended for him. He sometimes warms up to new people immediately, but sometimes needs a little bribing with treats and slower introductions. When on walks, Big Daddy works hard to protect you from other dogs and some of the people he encounters, so an experienced dog parent would be best. He’s muzzle and crate trained and has shown great progress with training.

Overall, in the right environment, BD is a pretty chill, medium-energy dog who just wanted to hangout with his people and maybe a cat friend!
