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. 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
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.

Who needs a big lovebug? Chad is a big softie who just wants to be near everyone. He is dog and people/child friendly and is pretty mellow for a puppy. He will be a big dog based on his double rear dew claws, but he is smart and easy to train.

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).

Maremma Sheepdog fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Maremma Sheepdog was bred to protect sheep from predators such as the wolf, and usually lived outside with the sheep both day and night.

Recently, Maremma Sheepdogs have been placed on a small Australian island to protect penguins from their natural predators.

Despite its intense guardian instincts, the Maremma Sheepdog craves physical contact from its family, be they humans or sheep -- they love to lean, paw, and hug.
