MILTON - GREATER SWISS MOUNTAIN DOG / COONHOUND (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Greater Swiss Mountain Dog / Coonhound (short coat). I have everything going for me — I am big, sweet, goofy, well-trained and loving. I’ve been a fantastic companion to my person for the last 3.5 years but he has to move overseas to take care of his ailing mother, and I’ll need to find a new forever home here. I just love chilling and sleeping as long as I get 2~3 walks a day (in addition to my potty breaks). My favorite time is when I fall asleep to my person's lullaby while he gently caresses my cheeks. I’ve done a lot of training and I’m great with walks and get along with most dogs and other animals. I try to stay away from aggressive ones though. But because of my size, other dogs often get a bit intimidated and bark at me a lot, but I don’t usually mind it and I just ignore them. Seeing squirrels gets me excited but I am learning to leave them be. I’m very good with sit, down, shake/hand, stay and touch, especially when I get rewarded with treats! I like playing with my friends but I also like doing my own things and sniff, sniff, sniff… I was born to SNIFF! I'm also great on car rides and love going to places. Getting my teeth brushed every night has become my favorite thing too and I would love to continue with that routine to keep my good health! Again, I’m mostly chill but because of my size, I would do best in a home with people who are comfortable handling a big, strong dog and no small children. I’d also love to find a home with an outdoor space, so I can chill under the sun. If you want a big, sweet goofball who will love you back unconditionally, swipe right and let's match!
