Big Momma may be a senior, but her heart is as big as her name! This beautiful Belgian Malinois mix is a gentle, affectionate girl who absolutely adores people. If you’ve got hands ready for petting, Big Momma is ready to lean in and soak up every bit of love you’re willing to give.

Big Momma also has wonderful manners with others. She does well with other dogs and is gentle with children, making her a great candidate for a loving family home. Whether she’s making new friends or simply relaxing near her favorite humans, she brings a peaceful, loving presence wherever she goes.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a soft heart and a lifetime of love still to give, Big Momma is ready to meet you!

Special thanks to Friends of Staunton Augusta Waynesboro Animal Shelter, who graciously funded medical care for Big Momma, who had mammary tumors that needed to be removed. Big Momma is making a wonderful recovery, has been officially spayed and is tumor-free! FYI - Spaying your pets can PREVENT this!!

Eligible under our 🌟𝕤𝕖𝕟𝕚𝕠𝕣 𝕕𝕚𝕤𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕥 𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕘𝕣𝕒𝕞 🌟 where all of our senior animals 8+ y/o may be adopted for a discounted adoption fee! Instead of $175, fees for our senior pups are reduced to $125! Adoption fees include all vetting, spay/neuter, daily care, vaccines, etc.
