Story
SOCIAL MEDIA HASHTAG: #thatradar Radar is a handsome, 37lb, 4yr old guy (Jan 2023) who is quite charming. He has an extremely sweet nature, is gentle when taking treats, and gives very soft kisses. He also has the best ears! He's a little afraid when he meets new people, but he obviously wants to be loved. So in meeting Radar he'd need to be approached gently. He does warm up fast when you don't force yourself on him, and at that point he's very snuggly and affectionate.  Radar is extremely intelligent and learns quickly. However, he is NOT to be trusted off leash, as he bolts at the first opportunity of an open door. He is energetic, so he'll require a safe fenced yard to play in, and he'd LOVE a canine buddy to chase and wrestle around with - He LOVES dogs (NO cats)! He is crate trained and house trained, and he rides well in a car. He loves to go on car rides, but he can get a little nervous when out and about. However, he does relax in time. He is also protective of his food, so we're working on this, as well, and making progress. As a result, it's best for no young children under the age of 16 to be in his new home. Radar is an super hugger and will wrap all four legs around you, resting his head on your shoulder. He also loves to jump up and wrap his front legs around your waist, snuggling his head into your waist. He always wants you to know that you're loved.  He is a very playful guy, a super fast runner, and so enjoys sharing this with his doggy best friends. However, his new canine friends will need to be tolerant of his rough housing, for despite his little body, he is a go getter! His mouthiness for other dogs is a little too much for some, so it's important that another dog is accepting of this. He's just a silly, active boy that loves to play, play, play! Yet he is so well behaved indoors...he's such a great little guy! He just needs the right home that accepts his energy and high levels of play, as well as continue working with him on meeting new people. He does fine with meet and greets in his home, but out and about he becomes a little more hesitant on new friends. We have a lot of fun with this little happy fella, and we know his new family will, too - he just needs that special someone willing to accept his energy and fears. He's truly a sweet natured boy and as cute as he can be. If you think you're interested, please let us know!  ##465975##

He is extremely affectionate and kind, as well as a fantastic greeter. He can't see you with his eyes, but he still welcomes you with his heart and hands out kisses. He is a happy guy who loves to hang out with you. Just understand that he does require a fence and he does pull hard on a leash (very strong). He would do best as an only dog, or could have a very calm dog with an experienced owner. No active dogs for siblings, however, and no cats. Sterling is a lovely, lovely boy, full of fun antics, siliness, and charm. He loves toys and dancing around the house with them, carrying them in his mouth everywhere he goes. He'll even entertain you with a song and dance holding his toys! SO much character in this guy!  If you want a bright, big smiling, happy boy, Sterling is a wonderful choice. ##1374200##

Afraid of storms but just wants to be with you.BARKING:  High - Extremely LOUD EXPERIENCED OWNER NEEDED:  Yes CRATE TRAINED:  Yes but will break out HOUSE TRAINED:  Yes GOOD IN CAR:  Yes.  FUN FACTS: Theo was severely abused. Upon entry into rescue he hid in a corner, back to us, and shook hard. He's come a long way, however, and does well on his calming drops. He loves his foster family, but he is still a timid guy and afraid of new people. He will require commitment, devotion, and patience. He will not be a dog that is snuggly and kissy or wrapped up in his new family, due to his need to learn to trust. He will take a significant amount of time to learn and to establish acceptance of his new life but he is SO worth it. Theo is a VERY KIND and GENTLE dog with a soft, loving heart. He has absolutely ZERO aggression. He's also highly intelligent. He requires a 6ft fence for playtime and to be on a leash at ALL times when not in the fenced area due to his fears and his breed - NO EXCEPTIONS. He will also need someone who can handle his strength for times when he might be afraid on a leash. *Note that he is probably not full grown at 103lbs. Theo loves his canine companions and would be unhappy in a home without other dogs, but he will need gentle introductions just b/c he'll be afraid. He loves to play and highly depends on his canine friends. Theo LOVES treats and food, and he is very mild mannered when taking them from you. He loves his morning and evening treat and runs to the kitchen and sits handsomely when he knows it's time. He's a fun boy with a tremendous smile, and he also talks similar to a Husky at times. Theo is devoted to those he loves and appreciates their kindness. He is a lovely boy with an innocent and very sweet disposition. ##1311506##

GROOMING/SHEDDING NEEDS:  MedMEDICAL ISSUES: Had hip surgery due to being hit by a car. Recovered nicely.  MEDICATIONS: Cytopoint for allergies SPECIAL NEEDS: No ANXIETY: NoBARKING:  Low - will bark when someone comes on to property EXPERIENCED OWNER NEEDED:  Yes, due to her fondness for bolting/running. CRATE TRAINED:  Does not do well in crate HOUSE TRAINED:  Yes GOOD IN CAR:  Yes FUN FACTS: Layla's favorite spot? The couch!! Layla is a very affectionate, loving girl who has been through a great deal - but she's come through shining! She had to have hip surgery upon entering rescue due to being hit by a car, but she's recovered nicely Layla is an adventurist, and she will bolt if given the chance (hence being hit by a car), so she needs someone experienced and dedicated to make sure she doesn't do this - this understanding and commitment is paramount. She will need a 6ft fence to be safe from potential escape, ALWAYS on a leash outside of the fence, and watched at doors. She loves to run and play, flashing her big smile when she's having fun. Layla is possessive of her toys, treats and food with other dogs, so while she's fine with medium to large dogs, this must be understood. She is a bossy female and isn't afraid to put them in their place should they try to take something that's hers. She's a princess who demands her authority. To people she's a dream. She loves to lay beside you and watch tv, go on long walks, and follow you around the house. She does, however, expect her food to be prepared and served ON TIME. That's the rule. Break that rule and you'll be called names. But you can save face by just giving her a kiss or rubbing her belly...her other 2 favorite things. Layla is house trained, doggy door trained, and rides well in the car. She's great at the vet, and is an overall superb gal...not to mention absolutely gorgeous. If you're looking for a buddy for walking, hiking, curling up with for your favorite movie or as your sidekick when you're out and about, Layla is the dog for you.   ##1466211##

Story
**It is strongly encouraged to research the Great Pyrenees breed prior to considering one for adoption. While they are wonderful dogs, they are not for everyone. SOCIAL MEDIA HASHTAG:  #libbylou AGE: 5.5yrs (Apr 2023)WEIGHT:  106.4lbsWORKING LGD:  NO - family pet only DOGS:  Good: Can be bossy at timesDOG RESTRICTIONS:  Can be temperamental with pushy dogs CATS:  UnknownCHILDREN:  GoodOTHER ANIMALS (birds, farm animals, etc): Unknown FENCED YARD REQUIRED:  Yes GOOD OFF LEASH:  NO!! ROAMER/RUNNER GROOMING/SHEDDING NEEDS:  HighMEDICAL ISSUES:  None MEDICATIONS:  Anxiety meds SPECIAL NEEDS:  Somewhat - Libby is severely afraid of beeping sounds due to previously wearing a shock collar prior to rescue. She is on medication so that she will not harm herself or escape. She is also a fence climber/jumper and can scale a 6ft fence. Will forever have to be leash walked only. ANXIETY:  Yes - due to her severe fear of beeps. Also has storm anxiety.BARKING:  High EXPERIENCED OWNER NEEDED:  Yes CRATE TRAINED:  Yes HOUSE TRAINED:  Yes GOOD IN CAR:  Yes FUN FACTS:  Libby is a delightful character and shows great affection for everyone. She enjoys snuggling, loves to give hugs, and she is extremely gentle and kind...outside of her Pyr Paw, which is very strong when she opts to use it. She does well with dogs but can sometimes be dominant and overly bossy, so she'll need someone experienced in handling interactions between dogs, as well as understand it may be a little more prominant in the beginning. She is well behaved and loves to go on walks. Lizzy has a very big bark and while she isn't excessive, it's LOUD, so being mindful of close neighbors is important. **PLEASE READ FOLLOWING INFORMATION IMPORTANT:  Libby will forever have to be leash walked and NEVER allowed off leash for any outdoor time, even potty breaks, even in a fenced yard. She will bolt and climb/clear a 6ft fence without hesitation. She enjoys going on walks and is great on a leash, so someone who likes to take a few daily walks would be ideal (NOTE that Libby is NOT a jogger or long distance runner). She is a big girl, though, so her adopter needs to be comfortable holding her on a leash. Libby is well behaved indoors, but will require a giant crate when someone isn't home to protect her in case she becomes afraid of a sound or storm. We feel she would enjoy the company of another dog but it is not required. She will require patience during the transition, however. Libby is a LOVELY girl with a tremendous heart who is adored by everyone she meets. She is charming, affectionate, kind and all around wonderful...but she does require someone who will understand her needs. ##1239538##
