My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Greetings, brave souls in search of a loyal sidekick!

I’m Shalane, the charming matriarch of the Robin Hood Litter, and I’m here to steal your heart—no archery skills required. At 3 years old and 79 pounds, I’m a Great Pyrenees mix with a splash of Golden Retriever or Collie, like a majestic forest queen who’s seen both her share of trials and triumphs. My story began when my former family surrendered me and my 9 little adventurers to the shelter. With overcrowding putting us on the dreaded euthanasia list, it seemed our journey might come to a tragic end. But fear not! A brave foster family swooped in like our own band of Merry Men, rescuing us and giving us a chance at a new beginning. Now, I’m ready for my own happy ending.

Think of me as the Robin Hood of the dog world: I might not rob from the rich to give to the poor, but I will steal your heart and give you endless love in return. I’m as smooth as a perfectly aimed arrow on walks—no pulling on the leash here! If you’re out in the backyard working on a project, I’ll be your trusty sidekick, cheering you on with tail wags and love. My foster mom says I’m a steadfast companion, and I’m here to prove it. With me by your side, life will be filled with joy and a touch of royal flair.

When it comes to meeting new people, I’m as smooth as a well-timed entrance at a royal ball! I’m friendly, approachable, and always ready to charm the socks off anyone who crosses my path. Whether it's a casual meet-and-greet or a grand introduction, I’m the kind of dog who makes everyone feel like they’re meeting a long-lost friend. When it comes to kids, I’m a gentle giant with a heart full of love! Although the kids in my foster home have been giving me some space to settle in, I’ve shown that I’m great with children. I’m the kind of dog who’s patient and kind, ready to share my affection and playtime with little ones. Whether your kids want a new buddy for backyard adventures or a cuddle buddy for quiet moments, I’m here to be a steadfast friend. So, if you’ve got kids or are planning to welcome some, I’m ready to be their loyal and loving furry companion!

My energy level is a balanced mix of relaxation and enthusiasm! I enjoy lounging around the house and soaking up some chill time, but I’ve got a playful side that comes alive when I’m outside. Whether it’s a backyard romp or a leisurely walk, I’m always ready to spring into action and enjoy some quality time. I’m definitely up for some adventures with my new family! I think I’d really enjoy going on walks or hikes—anything that gets us out and about. However, I’m not a fan of big crowds, so I might prefer quieter outings where we can explore at our own pace. On the leash, I’m a model walker—no pulling or tangles here! I’m well-mannered and respect your lead, making our walks a breeze. As for hiking, count me in! I’m always up for exploring new trails and enjoying the great outdoors. If you’re looking for a hiking buddy who’s both reliable on the leash and enthusiastic about adventure, I’m your girl! Let’s hit the trails and make some memorable hikes together. When it comes to fetch, I’m more of a laid-back lounger than a fetch fanatic—balls and sticks aren’t really my thing. Toys? Well, I’m still discovering what all the fuss is about, so they’re not exactly my top priority at the moment. And water? I’m more of a dry-land kind of gal, so you won’t find me splashing around. But don’t worry—I’ve got plenty of other ways to bring joy and companionship to your life! Whether it’s snuggling up for some quiet time or joining you for a serene walk, I’m here to add love and warmth to your everyday adventures.

I’d do great in an apartment, as long as I get the exercise I need. With my medium energy level, I’m quite adaptable and happy to enjoy a cozy space as long as we have regular walks and outdoor time. So, if you’re in an apartment and ready to keep me active and engaged, I’ll be a perfectly content and loving companion! I’m fully potty trained, so no need to worry about any indoor mishaps—just lots of love and snuggles. I promise I won’t turn your home into a mini obstacle course of accidents. I’m all about keeping things clean and tidy, so we can focus on more fun activities, like perfecting our napping technique or plotting our next grand adventure. You can count on me to settle in nicely and treat my kennel like my personal relaxation zone. So, while I’m a fan of snuggles and chill time, you won’t find me making a fuss about my kennel. You won’t find me gnawing on your belongings. My idea of fun is more about relaxing and snuggling, rather than turning your home into a chew zone. So, you can trust that your favorite items will remain untouched while I enjoy some quality downtime with my own peaceful pursuits!

I haven’t had the chance to mingle with my foster doggie siblings yet because I’m still mastering the art of balancing mom duties with making new canine friends. Right now, if a doggie approaches, I might give a little bark to say, “Hey, I’m watching you—keep your distance!” Think of me as a mama bear on high alert, protecting my adorable cubs from any potential mischief. Once my puppies are weaned and I’ve had my “spa day” (a.k.a. getting spayed), I’m sure I’ll be more open to doggy friendships and probably enjoy their company a lot more. For now, I’m just a loving mom navigating a busy world with a lot of protectiveness and a sprinkle of curiosity. o, hang tight as I transition from the overprotective mama to the friendly, fun-loving doggy friend you’re bound to adore! I haven’t had the chance to meet any cats yet, so my feline finesse is still a mystery. However, given my gentle and loving personality, I’m pretty confident that I’d be just fine with them once we get to know each other. I’m the kind of dog who warms up to new friends with a bit of patience(partly due to being on guard with my 9 little rugrats after everything we have been through), so with the right introductions, I’m sure I’d be a great kitty companion too, especially once I can focus on just me and not have to worry about my puppies.

So, if you’re ready for a loyal and loving companion who’s as charming as a woodland fairy and as steadfast as Robin Hood himself, look no further! I may be a bit of a cautious mama bear right now, but with a little patience and a sprinkle of adventure, I’ll be your ultimate sidekick in our own legendary tale. Join me on this quest for a forever home where we can share cozy moments, exciting walks, and maybe even a few epic backyard adventures. Adopt me, Shalane, and let’s write our own happy ending—because every great story deserves a loyal heroine by your side!
