This four-year-old dog is a light brown Labrador mixed with blue tick coonhound.  He is probably the biggest dog we have ever featured on Adopt-a-Pet.

Art is available for adoption at Orange County Animal Services.  Tuesday is the first day he is available.  Unfortunately, his previous owner passed away and that is how Art ended up at Orange County Animal Services.

The lab truly is a gentle giant.  He is playful.  He is enjoys people.

Large dogs like Art sometimes have trouble getting adopted.  But, if you are looking for a big, playful friend, you won’t go wrong with Art, the gentle giant.
