Mayo is the kind of dog who doesn’t rush through life—he takes it in, sniffs it, and sometimes decides a patch of grass is more interesting than a treat. At just over 2 years old and around 80 pounds, this Bulldog mix is a laid-back, quirky boy with a playful streak and an independent heart.

He’s not high-maintenance or overly intense—just a steady, good-natured companion who enjoys both a bit of action and plenty of downtime.
