Princess Penelope is a beautiful young pyrenees girl who came into rescue from a life spent wandering alone looking for food. After some time in her foster home, Penelope sure is loving the good life! Housebroken, crate trained, and great on a leash, she is an absolute gem of a pyr. She digs a little, barks less than the average pyrenees and she's been great with every human, canine, feline, and even chicken that she's come across! She loves to play with other dogs, and cuddle with her humans. More of her favorite things include freeze dried chicken, cheese, and listening to music as she goes to sleep! We think she's ripe for becoming someone's special little shadow since she loves car rides, bath time, and even making new friends at the local Lowe's. As you can see, despite a difficult start in life, Penelope is a well-adjusted social butterfly with the confidence to take her into many different situations with a perfect balance of curiosity and good manners. Her foster mama says she has great house manners and would thrive in a home with other dogs or kids to play with, lots of adventures outdoors or in town, and pyrents who will continue to reinforce her pyrfect lady behavior. Be sure to get your application in to become sweet pea Penelope's forever home!

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

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.
