MEET PANDO, NUZZLES’ PUPPY BOWL STAR!
Pando is a mixed breed pup who was rescued with his mother and nine littermates by our team on the Navajo Nation. Pando is named after the world’s largest tree, which is located in south-central Utah, and just like the amazing Aspen with over 40,000 branches that all share one giant root system underground (and covers 106 acres!), there is much more to this little pup than meets the eye!
On the surface, Pando seems quiet and a bit shy, but once you get to know him, you’ll discover that he wants nothing more than to be loved and seen. He’s hardy, with a quiet strength and adventurous spirit that speak to his roots as a “rez dog.” With a bath and a blow dry, Pando transforms into a fluffy ball with a soft and beautiful coat, surprising those who learn he’s a rescue mutt. Dogs from the region where he was born are often mixed with working breeds like cattle dogs and shepherds, but we’ve found this varies widely. It is likely that Pando will grow to be 40 to 60 pounds.
His personality truly shines when he is with people and other dogs. He loves attention and will even give you the cutest little whine when he’s feeling like he wants just a little bit more! He is the largest of the litter and is always eager to be the first one out the door or into your lap – a true leader of the pack. His confidence and resilience make him a perfect playmate – even with bigger dogs, he holds his own, never backing down and always maintaining a friendly and engaging play style.
Pando is the kind of dog who wants to be your constant companion and will join you on all of your adventures, whether that means a hike through the mountains or a quick drive to the grocery store – especially if it means a pit stop for a pup cup on the way!
Like the mighty Aspen that has stood the test of time for the past 10,000 years, Pando will stand firm by your side through all of life’s ups and downs. Every journey will be a shared celebration of life’s surprises and the deeply-rooted strength that ties us all together, and you’ll witness the unique beauty that comes with welcoming a rescue dog into your family.
