Sweet Roy (aka Big Boy, Monkey, Constantin, Roy Rogers) wants to give you all the love in his gentle heart. This adorable puppy is a gem! Born 1/14, he is on his way to becoming a big dog- over 60 lbs, based on those paws! He is deeply fond of both people and dogs. When not playing with his sister, he is frequently found gazing up at his foster people through beautiful green eyes. He will wiggle all over, push gently with his nose, or flop over onto his back to ask for affection.


Roy loves napping in laps, playing with sticks and squeaky toys, naps, kind words, NAPS, and FOOD. This last bit should make him fairly easy to train. In fact, after just a few days, he knows "sit" and "night-night." He willingly lies down in his crate for naps and night-time, and sleeps from about 10:30pm to 7am, waking with a clean and dry crate. What a good boy! He

Roy is quickly getting the hang of potty training. He also willingly accepts a substitute when caught chewing on something he shouldn't.

Roy would love a home with people who can spend time with him, and/or with a fellow dog for company when his people are away. He is respectful of his senior foster dog, and playful with his sister, Lulu. He is sure to bring joy and fun to his forever family.
