Waldo is a sweet, affectionate giant who truly believes he’s a lap dog — a very large one! He loves people and enjoys the company of other dogs. This handsome mix of Saint Bernard, Poodle, and American Foxhound is smart, playful, and sometimes a little stubborn, so he’ll do best with a family experienced in giant breeds who understands his size and personality.
Waldo loves his daily walks and really enjoys running, so he requires a secure, physical fenced yard attached to the home (no underground fencing) where he can safely stretch his legs. Once his energy is worked off, he’s calm and content indoors, happy to relax near his people.
Because of his size, any children in the home should be 10 years or older. Waldo would enjoy having another confident female dog of similar size as a companion, but he could also thrive as an only dog since he loves people most of all. He lives peacefully with dogs of various sizes, though he can be a bit too rough for the smaller ones. No cats for this boy — they’re just too interesting! A home where someone is not gone for long hours would be ideal, as Waldo loves being close to his family.
Waldo has been neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on vaccines and preventatives. He was heartworm‑positive when he entered foster care but has completed treatment and is now healthy and ready for his forever home.
Waldo is a big-hearted, loyal companion who’s ready to share his life with a family that appreciates his gentle nature, playful spirit, and loving personality.
