Rigatoni

My story

🍝 Meet Rigatoni – A Gentle Giant with a Poet’s Soul Rigatoni is the kind of dog whose presence you feel the moment he enters a room — not just because he’s a stunning Great Pyrenees with a magnificent, fluffy coat, but because of the calm, thoughtful way he takes in the world around him. Found as a stray, Rigatoni carries the quiet dignity of a dog who’s been through hard times but hasn’t lost his gentle spirit. With his soulful eyes and steady gaze, Rigatoni doesn’t rush into anything — he watches, listens, and takes his time to decide who and what to trust. But once he knows you’re safe? You’ll get to see the softest side of this big boy: the tail wags, the nuzzles, the way he leans his giant head into your hand for more affection. He’s curious, observant, and often seems like he’s contemplating life’s bigger questions while he patrols the yard or lounges in the sun. Now in foster care, Rigatoni is starting to embrace the joys of home life — slow strolls on leash, the bliss of a cozy bed, and the undeniable magic of a good chew toy. He’s not a high-energy dog, but he loves having space to roam and a person nearby who understands that love isn’t always loud — sometimes, it’s shared in quiet glances and soft sighs at your feet. Rigatoni would thrive in a calm, patient home where he can continue to feel safe, settle in at his own pace, and blossom into the deeply affectionate companion we know he is. If you’ve got a soft spot for the quiet ones, Rigatoni will fill it in the most beautiful way.
