OCALA, FL (352today.com) – Looking for a furry friend who’s the perfect combination of cuddly and low maintenance? Meet Bitty, a gentle giant from the Humane Society of Marion County (HSMC) who is ready to trade the shelter for your sofa.

Despite being a larger dog at 85 pounds, Bitty is the definition of a sweetheart. Just over a year old, this easygoing girl has a calm, affectionate nature that instantly won the hearts of the 352today staff. She was eager to greet everyone with quiet, composed excitement while still enjoying all the belly rubs, of course.

Bitty may look like she’s built for action, but she’ll blend right in with your couch cushions. Whether you’re looking for a movie marathon partner, a chill weekend companion, or a dog who can tag along for relaxed outings, Bitty is your girl. 

She gets along well with other dogs, would fit right into any family composition, and is equally happy going for a walk or binging that newest Netflix show with you. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect pup to add some warmth and happiness to your life, Bitty is ready to meet you.
