Story
Meet Sol! This girl is very near and dear to our hearts. Sol was dumped with her sister, Luna, in late 2022. We trapped Luna not long after she was dumped and she has been happily adopted!After almost two years we were finally able to trap Sol, who had delivered a litter of puppies under a building. All of Sols puppies have been adopted to wonderful families. Sol is now fully-vetted and has adapted nicely to being a spoiled house dog! Sol gets along great with other dogs and is gentle with children. She has lived with cats and her relationship with them varies depending on the cat.Sol is timid in new situations and is not confident on a leash. She does go outside to potty and will require a fenced yard. Due to her history, it can take time for Sol to warm up to new people and places. Sol is mostly not an affectionate dog although she will gladly roll over for tummy rubs when shes laying next to you in bed.Despite her large size, Sol plays great with smaller dogs and has lived with several dogs under 20 pounds. She shares her food and water dish with other pets in the home and sometimes sleeps with two medium/large dogs in an open crate. Sol will give a deep bark and back away when startled. She hasnt shown any aggression towards adults or children, even when scared.

Story
Well, our Great Pyrenees trapped in Circleville has not been claimed. He is now available for foster.We are calling him Odin. Odin is approximately 2 years old and is a very good boy. Odin has decided indoor living is best for him. He comes right back from being outside, finds his food bowl, and likes being near humans. I guess thats why he went on the run. Guarding goats was not for him. Odin is picking up some weight, has been seen by the vet and will be neutered soon. You can apply to foster or foster-to-adopt Odin at ricopetrecovery.org/fosterSharing is helping!

Story
Remy is a beautiful young Great Pyrenees that was surrendered by his owners because of a family health crisis. Remy is up to date on all his shots, is neutered and even had the Gatropexy procedure due to his deep rib cage. This is a life saving procedure that protects large dogs from the risk of stomach torsion.Remy is a very sweet dog that is young and full of energy. He never had a chance to live fully his puppy years. His owners who got Remy from other folks found that he spent his puppyhood tied to a trailer. Remy is good with other dogs and good with cats as long as nobody tries to take his toys or his snacks. Remy adores children. Remy is doing ok on walks. He pulls some but self-corects when pulled back. He will benefit from some leash training. Remy does well in his crate and has no accidents in the crate. When out of the crate he whines to let people know that he needs to go the bathroom. Remy loves to be outside and would love a home with a large fenced yard. Remy is a love bug and he even thinks hes a lap dog. Hes great in the car and likes to go for rides.Because he was starved at one time, he still guards his food and will chase cats. He likes to be with female dogs, but would need to be fed alone.You can apply to meet this beautiful gentle giant at ricopetrecovery.org. Applications to foster Remy are also welcome . Adoption fee is $250.

Story
Say hello to the beautiful Bo! Bo came to us from the Dog Wardens after being found as a stray. He QUICKLY showed us that a 6ft chain link fence is no match for his strength and size. He will require someone with a 6ft+ wooden fence, or someone that can put him on a lead with supervision anytime he is outside. Like his breed, he is a roamer! He wants to go the distance. He would love a family that can take him on hikes. While he is not the fan of being crated, he is the biggest fan of cuddles! This 105LB baby will be the best weighted blanket you never asked for. He is very friendly to new visitors, affectionate, playful, and just overall a goofball! If you have the space for this human sized pet, come on in! He would love to steal your heart. Likes: Snuggles, Outdoor snuggles.. any form of snuggles! Dislikes: Eating inside. Outside food is the best, and he swears the sun makes it taste better!

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).

Adopting a Leonberger

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Leonberger - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Leonberger at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost to adopt a Leonberger is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Leonbergers from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Leonberger would be through a rescue that specializes in Leonbergers. A great place to start is by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Leonbergers in your area.

Leonberger fun facts

Fun Facts:

Leonbergers are one of the few dimorphic dog breeds, which means that the males look strikingly different than the females.

World War II nearly led to the extinction of the Leonberger breed, but were luckily revived by breed fanciers in Europe and the United States.

Their gigantic size be darned -- Leonbergers love to swim!
