This handsome big guy is full of personality and charm. He absolutely loves people and soaks up attention like a sponge - expect happy tail wags, gentle nudges, and lots of leaning in for affection.
Ronnie is a social and affectionate companion, but he does have a few sensitive spots, particularly around his belly and feet. He appreciates a gentle touch and a bit of patience as he gets comfortable. Once he trusts you, he's all in - loyal, loving, and eager to be part of your world.
Ronnie is looking for a home that understands big dogs and can give him the love, respect, and calm environment he thrives in. If you're ready for a loyal buddy with a big heart, Ronnie's waiting to meet you!
