Akbash Labrador Retriever

Story
My name is Gucci. I am a stunner. With my awesome bushy tail and perfect posture; I turn heads. I am about 1 year old and 70 to 75 lbs. I am just about fully filled out. I could pack on a few more, but not much. My breed mix - I do have guardian breeds in me - we are guessing Akbash but Great Pyrenees is the breed cousin. So, either one goes. Ziva suspects I could also have some lab and hound somewhere in there. Now for the important stuff. Kids are fine - 8+ is what I have been exposed to without any issue. In comparison to my sisters, I have gotten the housebreaking thing the fastest. I also am the observer before I jump in. I don't need to be romping all over the place all the time and while I adore attention and love, I am not super needy nor smothering. I am good at keeping four on the floor and have proven to be medium energy. I am still young so I might still chew and will need to learn manners wherever I go. I play well with all the dogs I have been around but I seem to be more comfortable around the larger dogs. I will turn heads - I promise. 5+ foot fenced in yard is required. Cats are unknown but we are thinking I would be a little too intrigued! If you are interested in me, please submit an application. https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/

Story
My name is Chanel. I am another stunner and part of The Glamour Girl litter with Gucci and Macy. I am about 1 year old and 70ish pounds. I have the BEST eyeliner... haha - take that ladies. I am right in the middle the three girls in terms of weight but we are all pretty similar! I am just about fully filled out. I could pack on a few more. My breed mix - I do have guardian breeds in me - we are guessing Akbash but Great Pyrenees is the breed cousin. So, either one goes. Ziva suspects I could also have some lab and hound somewhere in there. Now for the important stuff and a little comparison to my sisters! Kids are fine - 8+ is what I have been exposed to without any issue. I really love the 8 year old human. Like Macy, I engage with her more than Gucci. I also pal around a lot with Macy. We seem to get along great and have the same type of jovial energy. In comparison to my sisters, I am in the middle in terms of needing to be the center of attention and sitting back. However, I will say as my confidence has grown, I do really like the attention. I am also a pleaser and responsive if my foster mom gives me a nice correction (I don't need much). I am still young so I definitely have some puppy in me! I might chew and will need to learn manners wherever I go. I play well with all the dogs I have been around - large and small. I will turn heads - I promise. Fenced in yard is required. Cats are unknown. If you are interested in me, please submit an application. https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/

Story
Odie is a one (1) year old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, male dog. He is sweet, playful, smart and sensitive. He has a lot of Ridgeback personality characteristics. He is house trained, knows commands and listens well. He loves to cuddle, get belly rubs, and snuggle next to you when you're on the sofa. He loves human attention and is always eager to engage. He rides in the car well, even on long trips. We bring him to the dog park every day for socialization and exercise. He loves playing with other dogs. He is very friendly with people. He is currently enrolled in basic obedience classes to reinforce what he already knows and learn new skills. We want him to be the best companion that he can be. He needs a lot of exercise and would benefit from a family that is active and can take him on multiple walks a day, in addition to the dog park. We adopted Odie only to find out that our other dog doesn't get along with him. In addition, my son is allergic to him.

Story
My name is Macy. I am another stunner and part of The Glamour Girl litter with Gucci and Chanel. I am about 1 year old and 70ish pounds. I am the smallest of the three girls but not by much. I am just about fully filled out. I could pack on a few more. My breed mix includes (from what we can see) lab and hound and perhaps Akbash (which is a cousin of the Great Pyrenees). Now for the important stuff and a little comparison to my sisters! Kids are fine - 8+ is what I have been exposed to without any issue. I really love the 8 year old human. I engage with her more than Gucci. I also pal around a lot with Chanel. We seem to get along great and have the same type of jovial energy. In comparison to my sisters, I am the one that needs to keep four on the floor but it's not really a jump... I like to call it a hug. I get up, hold on and lay my head on my foster mom. You could say I have the potential to be a velcro dog. I am the one that seeks the most pets from my humans; nothing abnormal... I just love love. I want to be a part of the action and usually the first one to go check it all out. I am still young so I might still chew and will need to learn manners wherever I go. I play well with all the dogs I have been around - large and small. I will turn heads - I promise. Fenced in yard would be ideal for me. Cats are unknown.

Leon

Great Dane Border Collie

Story
My name is Leon. I am still looking for my special place. I have had some opportunities but nothing has panned out for me so far. It's sad because I really deserve a chance to get back into a real home. Right now, unfortunately (but hey sometimes it's fun - I have a lot of friends there), I am in boarding in NJ. The people there are the best... they are so dedicated to my well-being. In a lot of ways... I am lucky. But, I am not doing so hot all the time. It's not natural for a dog to be in boarding for so long. I lived in a home for over 3 years prior to ending up in this situation; it's confusing! I am a 75 lb, almost 4.5 year old Dane/Border Collie/something tall mix :). I am so loyal to my people and I am a great listener, respectful and overall a catch. I am good with most dogs and play with the other dogs most days while in boarding. That being said, I lived as an only dog for most of my life so we think that's really what I would thrive having again. I am completely trustworthy left alone. If you work during the day, I am your dog. I am used to it! I would love a single family home. I am used to living in an apartment so it's not out of the question but a less crowded space would be nice. I need a foster or an adopter who is familiar with dogs that have some stranger danger. Once I trust my humans, I trust them with all my might but I need a little time to make that happen. A quiet home would be ideal for me! I just need a little understanding and someone who can be satisfied with me being me. https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/

Story
My name is Pokey! Yes, kind of a funny name. Can you tell I was named by some kiddos? I am about 1 year old and unfortunately, I am finding myself in need of another home. My family is going through some things and they can no longer care for me. I am sad... it's a tough dog world out there but I am so hopeful I can get another chance. I am really good girl. I am about 43 lbs. I have beautiful bluish eyes and great ears! I am good with other dogs I have come across. I live with my sister now. We have a great time together! We are not bonded... don't worry. We could* go together but will thrive separately. I do love those kids. I have lived with kids 3+ and pretty much that is all I have known. I am housebroken, crate-trained, I don't get into trouble at home either! I walk pretty well on a leash. I am a little nervous with new people. I may just need some treats to warm up. I would love a single family home and a fenced in yard (that's what I am used to!).
