My journey to PPFT was filled with hardships that no pup should ever face. My siblings and I were part of a litter of ten, born into a situation where our former owners couldn't keep up with the demands of so many puppies. It was tough; resources were scarce, and meals felt like a competition we couldn't win. Sadly, we lost one of our own, a sibling whose light was dimmed too soon due to the struggle for food and care. By the time we made it to PPFT, we were in dire straits. Dehydration, parasites, and malnutrition had taken their toll. We were mere shadows of what happy, healthy puppies should be. But thanks to the care and love we received, we bounced back. We found our tails wagging again, our eyes bright with hope, ready to embark on a new chapter. Now, here I am. Ready to find my forever and truly begin my new leash on life. Despite the hardships, I haven't lost my spirit. I'm a loyal companion, ready to bring joy, laughter, and endless tail wags to my forever family. If you're seeking a four-legged friend who knows the value of love and resilience, then I'm your pup.
I'm Kingfisher, the Great Pyrenees mix that's equal parts fluff and mischief. At 14 weeks old and 28 pounds, I'm like a mini mountain of fur with a heart full of adventure. My breed is a bit of a mystery, like a doggy detective story where we're still figuring out the suspects. One thing's for sure: my fluff game is strong, and shedding? Let's just say my fur has plans to take over the world, one couch at a time. Now, about my expected weight... Well, let's just say my puppy appetite matches my aspirations for greatness. I've been known to eye those kibble bags like they're gourmet meals fit for a king. Being a bigger dog has its perks, you know. Need a fluffy pillow? I got you covered. Want to feel safe during thunderstorms? I'll be your thunder buddy, all 80 pounds of me. And let's not forget the endless cuddles—I've got enough fluff to keep you warm on chilly nights and entertained with my playful antics during the day. So, if you're ready for a furry adventure filled with laughter, love, and a whole lot of fluff, then I'm your guy!
Around other dogs, I play it cool at first. Picture me tiptoeing into the canine social scene like a fluffy James Bond, but with a lot more fur and a lot less spy gear. I like to take my time sniffing and sizing up the situation before joining in on the fun. As for needing another dog in my new home, well, it's a maybe. I enjoy canine company, but I'm also cool chilling as the solo star of the show. Now, let's talk about those mysterious feline creatures known as cats. I've been caught red-pawed barking at them, trying to decipher their secret kitty codes. Who knew cats could be so intriguing? In my defense, they were strutting around on the other side of the baby gate and weren't allowing me to properly sniff them...how dare they! Should they allow me the honor of sniffing them out, I am sure we will do just fine together though. And when it comes to kids, well, I'm all about the older ones. They get my vibe—gentle snuggles, occasional zoomies, and lots of fluffy love. I like to think of myself as the wise old fluff, guiding them through the adventures of puppyhood with a wag and a smile. Meeting new people? I'm like a cautious diplomat. I'll offer a paw of friendship but might need a moment to assess the treat-giving potential of the situation. Priorities, you know?
When it comes to lifestyle preferences, I'm a bit of a Renaissance pup. I could groove with an active crew, exploring new places with proper socializing (I've got those puppy manners down). But hey, I'm also cool with a chill vibe, where naps are revered, and Netflix marathons are a thing. Balance is key, folks! Leash skills? Let's just say I'm a work in progress. Picture me strutting down the street with all the grace of a fluffy yeti(that sometimes is still figuring out his big ole paws), embracing the art of sniffing every mailbox along the way. Hiking? I'm down! I've got the legs for it and a nose eager to explore every leaf and twig. Just don't be surprised if I pause to contemplate the meaning of a particularly interesting rock. Energy-wise, I'm playful without going full-on hyper. It's all about the balance, folks! And toys? Oh boy, I'm a toy connoisseur! Balls, squeakers, chewies—you name it, I'll give it a good sniff and a playful toss. Now, water adventures? Let's just say I'm more of a land explorer. Puddles and kiddie pools are a hard pass for this pup. But hey, I'll cheer you on from the sidelines as you conquer the aquatic world! If you're seeking a fluffy, versatile, and slightly quirky companion to spice up your life, I am the fluffy butt for you!
Ah, the grand dilemma of apartment living! Picture me, Kingfisher, majestic in fluff and spirit, pondering the notion of confined spaces. While I'm not opposed to cozy corners and couch cuddles, my inner adventurer craves the wide-open spaces where I can truly spread my fluff and chase butterflies. So, unless your apartment comes with a magic portal to Narnia, I might prefer a place with a bit more room to romp. Potty training, you ask? It's a work in progress, my dear friends. I like to think of myself as a rebel with a cause—a cause that involves exploring every nook and cranny of my new home, including those not intended for bathroom breaks. But fear not, for I am determined to master the art of "doing my business" in the appropriate places. It's all about aiming for success, quite literally! Kennel training? Ah, the confinement of the royal chambers! While some pups may find solace in the cozy confines of a kennel, I, Kingfishers, prefer a bit more freedom to roam. Call me a free spirit—I like to survey my kingdom from various vantage points, not just one plush den. Chewing on things? Sticks and cardboard hold a special allure for my discerning palate. Why settle for store-bought toys when you can indulge in the rustic flavors of nature? It's all part of my quest for culinary exploration, with a side of fiber, of course. And the doggie door? Ah, my gateway to freedom! I'm well-versed in the art of door-dashing, allowing me to explore the great unknown (a.k.a. the backyard) with gusto. It's like having my own secret passage to adventure, complete with squirrel sightings and grassy escapades.
And so, dear humans, as I sit here contemplating life's great mysteries (like why squirrels taunt me from the safety of trees), I extend my fluffy paw of friendship and invite you to consider welcoming me into your hearts and homes. But beyond the mischief and the fluff, lies a loyal companion ready to shower you with endless tail wags, cuddles, and a love as vast as my Great Pyrenees ancestry. So, if you're seeking a furry co-pilot for life's adventures, I hope you will choose me! You can apply to adopt me at https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/hx000BP7nbQvjHX49Uur80FV3
Once your application comes on, PPFT will send over more details about me and forward your app to my foster family for review. If everything still sounds like a match, PPFT will finish getting you all approved so you can meet and welcome me home! <3
Oh, another thing. I am being fostered in Sand Springs, OK. If you have fallen in love with me and are out of state, how about a road trip? PPFT doesn't send us on commercial transport to limit our stress. So, if you want to welcome me or one of my other fluffy butt comrades to your family, it is time to plan a trip to good ole Oklahoma 😉
