Big Sky

Paws ATL

Breed: Hound / Mix
Gender: Male
Age: 7 years
Size: 84 lbs

This exceedingly handsome pup is 🐶 Big Sky! He’s 7 years old and has spent the majority of those years at PAWS. Big Sky is a tall guy, full of energy, and he comes on a little strong, but it’s only because he’s so curious and excited!

He would love a home where he can run around all day to his heart’s content. As you might guess, he’s a hound and is great at scent work. The shelter can be frustrating for such a smart and excited pup, and we would love for him to find a home where he can finally be his silly self.

Big Sky has recently shown some interest in meeting our other dogs, and he’s had a few short successful play sessions with a dog friend. With the right playmate and proper introductions, he could do well with another dog in the home. We don’t recommend him for kids or cats because of his size and energy.

❤️ If you’re looking for an active pup, Big Sky could be the one for you. Plus, his adoption fee is already paid as part of our Secret Crush Club! Apply to meet him today: pawsatlanta.org/adopt/dogs
