Haha, his name is Grizzly and he is a 3 1/2 year old brown Newf. Apparently he is very mellow, likes getting to meet new people, doesn't eat cats (Abby is thankful for that) and just an all-around amazing boy. He was purchased from a breeder/quasi puppy-miller in the Midwest for a family where the daughter had extreme asthma problems, and no amount of grooming could help. So, that's how he ended up in Rescue.
I have no idea how to post a picture on here, so no pictures yet. But just picture the most adorable Newf (other than all the BPOers, of course) you've ever seen with a big bone in his mouth.
We foudn out this morning that they are officially considering us, so we will have to fill out the application, newflvr will most likely do a home check, and, hopefully, we'll be new parents before too long!
