Attention cryptozoologists, Bigfoot has been found! And he's a good boy! A playful pup one minute, and cuddlebug the next, Bigfoot is a companion dog through and through. When given the chance to get up close and personal with his favorite soccer players, Marc Torrellas and Peter Pearson from the Des Moines Menace he jumped on their laps without hesitation. Torrellas and Pearson even had to dodge some kisses.
"He's kind of a goofball," gushed KC Routos, Director of Development & Communications at the Animal Rescue League of Iowa. "He's just a happy go-lucky guy."
Bigfoot will thrive in an active household and is ready to be your running partner! Be warned his playstyle is a bit rough and tumble, so he'll do best with a family who can match his energy. But at the end of the day, it's all about you for this dog. Bigfoot's biggest desire is to spend time cuddling with the people that he loves.
