If you’re looking for a big-hearted, goofy, gentle giant to become your new best friend, look no further than Slugger! We lovingly nicknamed him “Slug” because he can be a bit of a lovable lug, but don’t let his size fool you. This big boy is convinced he’s the perfect-sized lap dog and absolutely loves to cuddle, be loved on, and stay close to his people. He’s goofy, sweet, playful, and just genuinely thrilled to be included in whatever his people are doing. Whether that means playing with the kids, romping around with his dog friends, getting some training time in, or simply curling up…
Shelter breed labels are an educated guess from a dog's looks, and they are often wrong. If you adopt SLUGGER, a DNA test can show the actual breed mix, which helps you plan training, exercise and health checks. See how the two main tests sold in Canada compare.
If SLUGGER isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
