"Caitlin included me as her star a long time ago, and I'm sad to say that I'm still up for adoption. I am very large, so I will need a strong owner who can handle me. I have a heart of gold, and all I want is someone to love me. Because I am a hound, I need you to be understanding of the fact that I will always have my nose glued to the ground! I do love a good game of fetch so please set aside some time to play with me. Consider me here!"

"I'm a big guy and I don't know my size. When you meet me, I will come up to you and sit in your lap asking for butt scratches so please don't be alarmed when I do. I really enjoy toys, treats, playing with my family, and getting attention. Since I am larger, I will need an active family who can take me for daily walks and wear me out. I have lived with children previously and I love them, so a home with some noise would be fine. Make me yours, here!"
