📣🚨 FOSTER NEEDED for dog involved in animal CRUELTY CASE 🚨📣🐾 Meet Bigsby 🐾❤️ Despite Bigsby’s past, he seemed very sweet today when we meet him. 🐶Bigsby was very friendly. He wasn’t overly hyper for a dog that’s been kenneled for the past 2 months (due to an investigation), but he will need someone who can work with him and provide some basic manners training. He was dog and kid tested, did well with both, just wanted to play. He does jump up, so we do not recommend small children or very small dogs. Bigsby has not been tested with cats. Other things about Bigsby:🦴 Lab mix?🦴 Approximately 45 lbs🦴 Three years old This is all the information we have at this time. 🏡 If you are interested in fostering or foster-to-adopt, please see the application in the comments. If not, please share 🙏 if you have questions, please reach out to us directly through Messenger or email. Let’s find Bigsby the home he so desperately deserves! #WilkesRescueGroup #rescuedog #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed ... See MoreSee Less
