Everett came to us as a stray from animal control. He was wary of people. He has been at the Happy Hounds Prison Dog Program for several months and has done very well! Everett is a really great dog and should be somewhere he can have a large fenced yard to play in and patrol. At first we thought Everett was a farm dog, but the husky in him does not make him suitable for farm life. Everett needs to form a bond with his person/people. He doesn't tolerate strangers and will alert them that they are unwelcome. Everett is truly a working dog whose sole purpose in life is to protect his people and property. He is not a social dog per se except with his owner(s) and family members. Because of his protective nature, he would do better in a home without children. If you are looking for a dog to protect you, your family, and your property, Everest is your boy....AND he's housebroken and obedience trained! Anyone willing to take a couple of days to bond with Everett will find out what a special dog he is; VERY loyal. He's a beautiful, smart, sweet boy that we think would love to have a family and home of his own. Please spread the word about Everett so he can have his forever family soon!
Everett is ready to be adopted. Whoever adopts this beautiful boy will need to understand that it will take a little time to bond. Once that bond is created Everett will be the perfect dog. He will protect the family and property,
Update from his trainer: Week 24. Not much more to say about Everett. He a Pyrenees and needs a furever home that understands the breed. He bonds strongly with his people in about 2 days. He will always be a guard dog (in his DNA). He will always protect his people. He knows are his commands and cues. Everett is a very humble and observant dog especially to strangers. He does guard his "space". He is not actively involved with any other dogs. No issues with toys or food. He's more of a guarder around his "home". Overall, Everett is a great dog as long as he acknowledges their trust which has to be earned. He knows his commands/cues like sit, down. He isn't destructive and a good leash walker (unless he sees something that distracts him). He is particularly annoyed by trucks for some reason, so a fenced yard is a must.

More about this rescue
OUR HISTORY
In 2010, Eileen Gideon’s family gave her the gift of an adorable bloodhound puppy for her birthday. She named him Jethro. When Jethro had his first vet appointment, Eileen discovered that he had some hereditary health issues. Jethro, it turned out, like many puppies, had come from a pet store that purchased their puppies from an Amish puppy mill. This discovery led Eileen to begin researching puppy mills, breeders, and the overwhelming number of pets in shelters and rescues in need of homes.
The more Eileen learned the more she realized she needed to become actively involved. Eileen founded Uniting 2 Save Animals (U2SA), a 501(3)c organization dedicated to decreasing the number of unwanted, homeless pets in our area. Between 2011 and 2022, U2SA provided over 3000 free and low-cost spay and neuters to those in need, as well as assisting with dozens of veterinary bills for local rescues. In 2017, U2SA began funding the Happy Hounds Prison Dog Program in Hagerstown, MD. This organization provides positive-based reinforcement training and behavior modification for dogs at risk of euthanasia as well as dog handling skills and training for Inmates they can use to obtain employment post-incarceration. In early 2022, Jethro passed away and U2SA was renamed Jethro’s Happy Hounds House in memory of Jethro. Jethro’s changed focus to providing more direct assistance placing homeless dogs in adoptive and foster homes as well as supporting our rescue partners with food and veterinary expenses.
