Kevin The Gentle Giant Has A Big Sweet Personality

Kevin the gentle giant is our Mutt Monday dog this week.

Kevin is truly a gentle giant, with a big, sweet personality to match his size. At one and a half years old, he still has the energy and enthusiasm of a puppy, but will happily curl up at your feet in the evening.

Kevin knows his basic commands and loves his afternoon walks. Due to his size (82 pounds), Kevin will do best in a home with no small children. He has lived with large and small dogs, and would probably love to have a buddy! We do require a meet and greet with your pup before adoption.

Kevin the gentle giant and is available at Pet Pal Animal Shelter in St. Pete.
