Meet Hobbes – Your Loyal Couch Companion and Guardian Angel
Hobbes is a stunning Labrador–Great Pyrenees mix with a heart as big as his fluffy frame. This gentle giant is the total package: intelligent, affectionate, and endlessly loyal. He’s aced his obedience classes and is always eager to please—whether that means showing off his manners or snuggling up beside you on the couch after a long day.
Hobbes lives for walks and outdoor adventures, but his favorite place will always be wherever you are. He’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply and protects loyally—not with hyper aggression, but with caution and love. He’ll be your shadow, your cuddle buddy, and your most devoted friend.
If you’re looking for a faithful companion who’s equal parts brains and heart, Hobbes is waiting to meet you. Bring him home, and you’ll gain a guardian, a best friend, and a whole lot of love.
