Notes+ At just one year old, Reina is still a puppy at heart, just in a VERY large package! This gorgeous girl has a personality as big as her paws and enough love to fill an entire household. Reina absolutely LOVES people. She is affectionate, playful, and happiest when she is getting attention from her favorite humans. Whether she is showing off her impressive toy collection, chasing after a tennis ball, or trying to convince you that 110 pounds is a perfectly reasonable lap dog size, Reina knows how to make everyone around her smile. But do not let her size and playful enthusiasm fool you. There is a smart girl underneath all that adorable goofiness.

    Reina has some pretty impressive qualities:
  • Smart Cookie: She already knows 'sit', listens well, and is eager to interact with her people.
  • House Manners: Reina appears to be house-trained, giving her a great start toward becoming a wonderful household companion.
  • Professional Toy Enthusiast: Toys, playtime, and attention are some of her favorite things
  • Certified Sweetheart: Reina adores affection and being included in whatever her humans are doing.
  • Play Hard, Relax Hard: Despite her youthful energy, Reina knows how to settle down and enjoy some quiet time once the excitement is over.
  • A Work in Progress: Reina is a STRONG girl. She will benefit from continued leash training, exercise, and a family willing to help her develop good manners.
  • A few important things to know about Reina:
  • If you already have a dog at home, we recommend scheduling a meet-and-greet at the shelter to see how everyone gets along Her compatibility with cats is currently unknown.
  • Reina has tested negative for heartworms and has received her Bordetella and distemper vaccinations.
THE PERFECT HOME FOR OUR BIG GIRL:
Reina would love a family that understands big dogs come with big responsibilities, but also BIG rewards. She needs someone who can provide structure, continued training, plenty of opportunities to play, and, of course, all the love and affection her enormous heart can handle. She is young, beautiful, goofy, and she is has SO much love to give. Sure, she might take up most of your couch, accidentally forget how big she is, and insist that personal space is merely a suggestion, but we have a feeling the right family will not mind one bit.

Reina has been described as a 'She-hulk' and for good reason. Reina is an XL bully weighing in at around 108 lbs of pure muscle and strength. She is very smart, eager to please, and listens well to commands. However, despite these things, she will still need a strong and confident handler based on stature alone. She is strikingly stunning and a really good girl who needs the right person to see her for who she is.
