Big Daddy Hoss Cash - Saint Bernard Dog for Adoption in Frisco, Texas

We received great news yesterday regarding Big Daddy Hoss' bloodwork. While he was treated for double ear infections with Claro on Friday, we were thrilled to learn that he is heartworm negative, and all of his other tests showed that this 147 lb boy is healthy! Hoss is a 5 year old St. Bernard who is ready to find his forever family. He has settled in beautifully in his foster home, has done well with the other dogs in the home, and seems completely unfazed by the resident cat.

Here are some things to consider when adding a St Bernard to your family: They need moderate exercise. They don't require intense activity but do enjoy daily walks and time with their family. Overexercising, especially in hot weather, should be avoided. They don't tolerate heat well. Saint Bernards are built for cold weather and can overheat quickly. They need air conditioning, plenty of water, and limited outdoor activity during Texas summers. Expect drool and shedding. A lot of both! Keeping towels around for drool and staying on top of brushing will make life easier. Hoss has bibs that he wears to help with his drooling. Grooming is necessary. Regular brushing helps manage shedding and prevents mats. Health care can be expensive. Giant breeds are prone to issues like: Hip and elbow dysplasia, Arthritis, Bloat (gastric torsion), Heart conditions, Eye issues

Rescue Row is a 501(c)3 (non-profit) all volunteer dog rescue organization serving the DFW Metroplex. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs in shelters, dogs in abusive or neglectful situations, and dogs surrendered by their owners because of difficult circumstances. We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process, which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives. Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, microchipped, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. Dogs in the greatest need take priority. Finally, we strive to work with shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless dogs.

The Saint Bernard is a large and gentle dog breed known for its loyalty, affectionate nature, and impressive strength. Originating from the Swiss Alps, these dogs were historically used as rescue dogs due to their keen sense of smell and ability to navigate through harsh terrain. With their iconic droopy jowls, expressive eyes, and massive build, Saint Bernards make wonderful family pets, often forming strong bonds with children and adults alike. Their calm demeanor and easygoing attitude make them a favored choice for those seeking a devoted and loving companion.
