Pet-Bud
Bud is an Anatolian shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix and a really big boy. At  just over 3 years old, he weighs in at 104 pounds, so he will need a home with plenty of room to play and to relax. He will do best being an only dog, and in a home with no children under 12. But he is a smart guy and has a heart as big as his body. So make room in your life for Bud and he’ll be your friend forever.
