My story

Meet Big Papa — The Nap King With a Heart of Gold! If you're looking for a dog who can match your snuggle game, look no further than Big Papa! This big-hearted ham is the ultimate cuddle buddy, a world-class napper, and an all-around gentle soul. Papa is known for being a sweet and sensitive guy — the kind of dog who’ll notice when you're having a tough day and quietly lean in for kisses and comfort. He’s the definition of a best friend. When he’s not soaking up belly rubs or catching some sun in his favorite nap spot, Papa loves playing tug-of-war, “calmly destroying” plush toys, and sniffing every interesting scent on his walks. He’s also a fan of peanut butter, chicken, car rides (windows down, of course!), and short to medium strolls around the neighborhood. Papa is house-trained, knows all his basic commands, and has impeccable house manners — no chewing, no unnecessary barking, and he’s perfectly content lounging uncrated while you’re at work. He’s still working on perfecting his leash manners (he just gets so excited about walkies!) and learning how to greet other dogs calmly, but he’s already making great progress. This gentle giant thrives on consistency and a cozy home where he can stick to a simple routine, sunbathe to his heart’s content, and offer unconditional love to his favorite humans. He’s a special soul who’ll be there for you, through every high and low, with tail wags and tender snuggles. So if your home is missing a little light, love, and a lot of naps, Big Papa would love to be your forever buddy. 💙 Put in an application to meet him today!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Big Papa (I Have a Secret Crush!), please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
