Furry Friends Friday is brought to you by The Mason Jar Cafe! Meet Handsome! This aptly named boy came to us as a stray, and he's a gentle giant. Okay, well, he's not GIANT, but he's a big boy who wants all your love! He loves to go for walks and sniffing adventures. He is doing well on a leash, and we think he would do even better with a harness. He has huge potential for being a great walking companion and is eager to learn. Handsome is open to meeting other dogs; he chooses his favorites! He likes to be around his people and dogs with whom he feels comfortable and safe. He really is a good, happy boy! We estimate Handsome to be in the area of 3-4 years old, and he is 70 lbs. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative.
