Unloved Shelter Dog Yearns for Home as People Shun Him for Being ‘Scary-Looking

At the Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter in Branford, Connecticut, Biggie is in urgent need of someone to give him the love and home he so deserves. Despite his delightful, affectionate nature, he often goes unnoticed.

Recently, a family visited the shelter in search of a “cheerful and friendly pit bull,” and Biggie perfectly fit this description! However, upon seeing Biggie, they remarked that his “ears looked scary.”

Unfortunately, Biggie continues to be overlooked for reasons such as his size and color, perpetuating the cycle of rejection.

Biggie doesn’t look in the mirror much and has no idea he’s supposedly scary looking. All this five year old pup wants is to be loved. He has been in the shelter for 210 days – just dreaming of having a family and not knowing why no one wants him.

Biggie is such a sweet guy with a happy personality. He did well in the cat room and enjoys pack walking with dogs too. He’s a big guy, weighing in at 80 pounds, so probably no little kids because he might knock them over .

Biggie is getting depressed now and doesn’t get up when you go back into the dog room. His advocates are really hoping to find someone to put the waggle back into him. His favorite pastime is finding squeakers in toys, but he also loves going for pup cups, eating snacks, hiking at times and just cuddling.

Please share Biggie’s plight with friends, family and social media contacts. We have proven many times over that sharing the stories of these beautiful dogs have saved lives and forged strong family bonds.
