Big Mama always seems very eager to meet new people. If you meet her, she'll greet you with lots of tail wags and body wiggles. Then she'll give you lots of kisses and become your shadow around the house. She'll love to get your attention - and your cuddles.

Mama also loves to roll over for belly rubs or sit in her foster mom's lap when she's lounging on the couch. She likes to nap under her mom's desk at her feet while she's working. Then this curious girl likes to explore the backyard - and even take drinks from the sprinkler.

She also likes to take walks around the neighborhood and is an angel on the leash. She's happy to trot at her walker's pace to explore and just may pull when she's excited to see a human or dog friend.

At home, Mama is also great in her crate. She naps there and sleeps quietly all night, just excited to greet her foster with tail wags in the morning. She also does well there or snoozing on the floor in a room when she's home alone. She loves her chew toys and will curl up to nap all day.

She is working on her obedience skills. She understands 'sit' and is learning about 'down,' 'off' and 'stay.' And she is already house-trained, letting it be known that she needs to go outside.

This calm, easygoing girl will be a perfect addition to a home where she can get love and attention and be taken out for playtime and walks. She does well alone but will thrive with a dog buddy and family members. Come meet this lovable lady!
Come meet your new best friend
