Story
Star needs a good home. She was abandoned and I didn’t have the heart to send her to pound. I had a couple of people interested in her but they were very sketchy. I’ve placed her on web sites people wanted me to drive hrs away. She is very easily trained and fast learner. She is house trained , she knows sit leave it , house, back, I just can’t afford her. She needs more than I can give her shots etc. she was spayed at human society. She’s approximately 6 months old. I was hoping to have found her a good home besides puppy jail at pound. She love to play with balls frezibies an trampoline’s. I am willing to apply the 150 adoption fee to your vet of choice to ensure a good home.

Story
We have had Moose since he was a puppy. Our original intentions were for livestock guardian purposes, but that didn't happen he has been a household pet from the beginning. My husband and youngest child do not like Moose, and unfortunately he has become a source of contention in our family dynamic. He has recently been showing signs of aggression toward our cats. We have decided it would be best for him and our family to rehome him to a more appropriate environment where he can be himself and be happy, loved by all members of the household. Moose is 2.5 years old (born 6/18/2022), purebred Great Pyrenees, neutered, up to date on all vaccines and parasite medications (treated monthly with simparica trio), microchipped, and weighs 96lbs. He is goofy and playful, but a bit anxious at times, and suspicious of strangers/new things as pyrs are known for. Good with kids and dogs but NOT chickens or cats. NEEDS SECURE FENCING (not invisible).

Meet Duke! Duke is a 4–5-year-old loving and affectionate boy looking for his forever home! He’s crate-trained, potty-trained, and takes treats like a true gentleman. Duke is incredibly smart and eager to please, making him a joy to have around. He is roughly 50 lbs and about knee height. With proper introductions, Duke is friendly with other dogs. His play style is rough and rowdy, but he responds well to commands when told it’s time to tone it down. Duke would thrive in a home with a submissive, tolerant dog companion or as the only dog, where he can soak up all the love and attention his people have to offer. Duke is neutered, up to date on all shots, and ready to become a cherished member of your family. His adoption fee is $300, which helps support Pawprints of Hope Rescue.
