Meet Michael! Some dogs walk into your life quietly... and somehow leave pawprints all over your heart forever. Michael was sitting at the shelter in Louisiana, just slowly fading into the background while the world passed him by. But the second we met him, we knew there was something unbelievably special about this sweet fluffy boy. Michael is the gentlest soul. He waddles around with his giant fluffy tail swishing behind him like a big feathery duster and honestly reminds us of a giant lovable Big Bird. He has the softest eyes, the sweetest heart, and the kindest demeanor you could ever ask for in a dog. Breed? Your guess is as good as ours. We definitely see some Shepherd, maybe a splash of Great Pyrenees, and a whole lot of “perfect angel baby” mixed in. At around 1-2 years old and approximately 50-55 lbs, Michael is neutered, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & preventions. He is wonderful with children and great with other dogs. He is crate-trained with structure and fully committed to the air-conditioning lifestyle. Listen... this Louisiana heat? Michael says ABSOLUTELY NOT! The second he gets too warm he's looking at you like, “Excuse me... where is my AC and my retirement package?” We lovingly call him an “old Papaw” because even though he's still young, he has the energy of a sweet retired grandpa who just wants snacks, comfort, kindness, and a cool place to nap. He can be a little bashful in new situations at first, but with gentle encouragement he settles in beautifully. You can tell somewhere along the way life probably wasn't always kind to him... and that honestly breaks our hearts because he is one of the most beautiful, gentle dogs we have ever been around.
