Rachel is a sweet senior Pyrenees who needs a family who can give her a second chance at a happy home and the love and attention she so deserves. Although previously kept outside for years on a chain, she is learning quickly to adapt to indoor living and freedom in her foster home. She is leash-trained, crate-trained and housebroken. She doesn’t dig, and barks less than the average Pyr. She prefers being inside with her people. Rachel is a low-energy gal who needs a soft bed. She was great with the dog groomer and enjoys car rides. She is sweet with people and good with children! She does not like most other dogs and has ignored her calm, canine foster sibling. This sweet girl needs a special family, where she can be an only dog, who can show her what she’s been missing all these years. - Written by M.M.

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
