Things To Know About Chelsea:



- Chelsea is a purebred Great Pyrenees, as confirmed by an Embark DNA test, and she embodies all the charming traits of her breed in a petite "pocket pyr" build.
- In May 2023, at just 3 months old, Chelsea was heartlessly shoved under a fence at a Mississippi shelter before arriving at TLC. Despite her hardships, including a spinal malformation and congenital blindness in one eye, Chelsea's gentle demeanor never wavered. Her medical journey has been extensive, with numerous vet visits, tests, and a crucial surgery to improve her quality of life. Dr. Rosen, Chelsea's neurologist at VRC, emphasized that a radical stabilization surgery was essential for her to live a pain-free and happier life. Read all about Chelsea's story on our website: TLCrescuePA.com/BarkingBack.
- Due to her previous spinal trauma and comprehensive surgery, Chelsea is incontinent but rocks her doggy diaper! She even gets excited to put it on because it means she gets to do something fun.
- Chelsea's surgery surpassed expectations and has been incredibly successful. She now lives a pain-free life—running, jumping, and moving like a typical happy pup.
- While sometimes aloof at first, Chelsea is an absolute sweetheart and loves everyone she meets, especially kids.
- She has been attending school visits since she was 3 months old and is now a seasoned pro.
- Her pyr-like goofiness brightens everyone’s day.
- Low to medium energy.
- She enjoys playful times with her toys and self-entertaining antics just as much as taking naps.
- True to her breed, Chelsea loves being outdoors in any weather.
- She enjoys going for walks, though she shows typical Pyrenees stubbornness at times.
- While she is crate trained, Chelsea enjoys sleeping through the night in her cozy, gated space.
- Dog-friendly, she loves playing with other dogs and lives happily with multiple canine companions.
- Typical for Great Pyrenees, Chelsea is a bit bossy and can be protective of her food and toys from other animals. With people, however, she is a total softie!
- Cat-friendly.
- Did we mention she is even pig-friendly and loves to spend time with her pig siblings?
- Chelsea is looking for a forever home that can provide the love, care, and understanding she deserves, ideally with someone experienced in managing her breed's needs.

Additional adoption info

When you adopt from TLC, you become a part of our family. We will be there for you with continued support even after adoption.

At TLC, our adoption process is simple and straight-forward. We want you to find a new family member and we want our rescue dogs to find their forever home. There is no cost to apply and we do not require you to put a deposit on a dog to be able to meet a dog. An application does not obligate or limit you to adopting the dog listed on the application.

Applications are carefully considered and processed by our applications team. After submission, an adoption counselor will contact you to conduct an interview where together you will assess your needs and work to find the right match. We speak to veterinary references, landlords and personal references before approving an application.
