Story
Active Axel is a handsome golden male German Shepherd/ Great Pyrenees mix who was born on February 11th, 2023 and is still a puppy in every way. He is one of six siblings that survived from a litter of 12. Our guy Axel weighs approximately 90 lbs, and is very GSD smart loving to be next to his humans.  This huge puppy is full of energy and he will fit perfectly in a home where there is a lot of activity, a fenced yard and people who love the BIG DOGS! He really likes walking, hiking, and just a ton of fun with activity. He also loves water and treats the water trough as his own personal spa. We recommend a home with a fence that is a minimum of 5 feet tall.   We do not suggest he go to a home with small children, or farm animals simply because he has no experience with them.  He hangs with his siblings and does well playing with them and also just enjoying their company.  He does need to eat separately for dinner as he protects his food from the other dogs due to early starvation. Handsome Axel is fully vetted, neutered and microchipped and he is kennel and crate trained for quiet time.  This boy needs some time and attention from a caring and dog savvy owner.  He would love to cuddle with you and be your adored companion.  He has such potential…..such love and such a need to grow and evolve into a fine companion in life.  Please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested in this big baby!  PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comNovember 4, 2024, 11:48 pm

Story
Katanya went on an ExPAWdition! Let`s read all about it:`Katanya - ExpawditionHopped right into car, but because she is an 85 lb nervous Nelly she wants to be in the front so I had to tether her in the back. She was spooked by large trucks going by and anything noisy, so I kept the car calm as we headed for a long walk at Noland.For such a nervous girl she was surprisingly pretty good on the leash! She obvi needs leash training but she doesn’t go nuts…she’s not interested in squirrels which makes it easier!It didn’t seem like she’d been in water before because she timidly took 3 small steps then just kept on walking until she just stood in it, wagging her tail. I think she’d make someone a super fun waterdog as she smiled and hopped about happily when she got out.At first she was jumpy and scared with people who went by, but with positive reinforcement halfway through she would move aside and sit calmly until they passed. She was definitely curious and wanted to say hi.Whenever she got nervous in general I gave her positive corrections and she was very responsive. I think she’s very smart and could train easily. When we passed playing laughing little kids she perked right up, wagging her tail.After 5 miles she was much more settled so I let her poke her nose out the window on the drive back which she loved, enjoying the wind in her nose and all the smells.She needs someone who can help build her confidence and offer a safe somewhat calm/quiet environment while she learns she can just be a big goofy happy girl. I’d say no fireworks and construction stuff. Don’t think she’s house trained but probably good with other dogs, maybe cats too because she couldn’t care less about squirrels.`Hello, I`m Katanya. I may be a little shy at first, but once I get to know you, I promise to be the most loyal friend you`ve ever had. I`m a gentle soul, mellow and independent. I love exploring new things, my curiosity knows no bounds. I`m also smart, so teaching me new tricks will be a fun adventure for both of us. Yes, I might be a bit nervous, but with your love and patience, I`ll learn to trust again. I can`t wait to meet your whole family, I promise to be sweet to everyone (I am not too sure how I will feel about active kiddos... I find them pretty overwhelming). I`m not just looking for a home, I`m looking for a family who`ll love me for who I am. Adopt me and let`s create beautiful memories together.
