Big Jon in TN - Pyr-Lean & Pyr-Paw Pro!

Meet Big Jon, our friendly neighborhood big guy! This sweet boy has never met a stranger, and he likes to make instant best friends out of new dogs, cats, and people that he meets. Confident, calm, and loving, Big Jon likes to be touching his people either with a protection pyr-lean or the classic pyr-paw; he just can't get enough affection! After a difficult start in life that landed him severely matted in Animal Control, he is learning what it means to be cared for in boarding while he waits for a foster or forever home. Due to the condition of his coat, he needed to be shaved, so he isn't quite in his final form just yet. We're excited to see how gorgeous his coat is when it comes back in and receives proper care! Big Jon walks well on a leash, is neat in his kennel, and even has very pretty sparkling teeth. He has all the ingredients that make a lifelong best friend, and he is so deserving of the chance to live with, and love on, people who see his big heart in those kind eyes.
