Anatolian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Orem, Utah

Holy lover-girl! Do not be fooled by her size, this is a lap-dog/puppy/angel baby. She is soft and snuggly like a teddy bear so when she climbs up to sit on your lap you will be absolutely wrapped in warm goodness. Don’t worry, she knows she is a bigger girl so she has learned that only about half of her fits in the average lap so she will either give you the front half-paws and head, or the tail-end like she is sitting on Santas lap. If you only have a few minutes to fall in love- watch her video but I can sum it up- Lacey is loyal, cuddly, innocent and silly, and a friend to all from dogs to cats and all the people. Lacey is about 2 years old, 75 lbs, and is just giving golden-good devotion. We cannot guarantee breed or age given she is a rescue but we believe she is an Anatolian/ Lab mix. Like so many breed mixes similar to her, Lacey creates a strong bond with her people and falls hard. She is the most loyal and loving pup and anyone who lands in her loving radar will never wonder if she is 100% heart and soul, their #1 girl. There is nothing better than the devoted, powerful love of a dog and Lacey comes with that and so much more. Lacey has been fortunate to wait our her days until adoption in a loving foster home where they praise her outgoing, silly, and loving ways. They have shared that she is both house and crate trained, has joined them for Fancy Footwork classes where she has learned all the best leash manners, and knows a few basic commands, while always being ready to learn more. She is treat motivated so training is an enjoyable process and she is a quick learner. It was mentioned before that Lacey is a friend to all and she really showed us how true that is when she was introduced to dogs- not only was she fast friends with all the dogs she met, she tried hard to make a friend out of the donkey next door. If the fence wasn’t there I think her play bows and barks would have gotten him bouncing around with her too. Lacey doesn’t need another dog to be fulfilled, remember she loves her people, but she would enjoy other dogs and would do great with a dog of similar energy. We would describe her energy level as medium with very brief moments of medium/high, that amounts to about 30 seconds of chase or a tumbling wrestle with a buddy. The beauty is she comes back to baseline easily so a high-energy, non-stop friend would overwhelm her- she knows the power of chilling out. She currently resides with a crew of other pups and does great. She especially likes to play with her basset hound foster brother- his ears are fun to pull on! Lacey loves to chase and does play with some toys- bring on anything squeaky or stuffies! Get this gal some fun new chew toys to welcome her to the family and she will be on cloud 9! During Lacey's cat test she did great! She does not live with any cats but has met several on different occasions and has showed the same respectful curiosity. She is unbothered if they give her a swat and understands that means they want a little space. Whether they swat or not, she checks them out and then walks off. A dog savvy cat would be a great fit for her- they can set the rules and she will follow them. Lacey does not live with kids but when introduced to them she was great. Given her size and love for close, cuddly love older kids 10+ would be best for her. Lacey is a bit like a kid herself and would enjoy having a little friend to run around with so knowing her size wont intimidate or knock over a little one is key. Let’s talk dream home- Lacey dreams of a home with space for zoomies and rounds of chase in the yard. We can only imagine how happy she would be to live the farm-dog life. A playful, confident, tag-along girl who looks real good in a truck, its the stuff of dreams for more than just Lacey. You will have to do two things though, get the car door- she is a lady after all, and maybe give her a little boost. Now that is do-able and well worth it for her. It happens, but Lacey has truly stolen the hearts of everyone here and we cannot wait for you to know why!

Let me introduce you to the warm, gentle soul we call Josie. She has eyes that quietly say “tell me all about it, I’m here to listen” and her presence is just as comforting. She can come off a touch shy when you first meet here but just because she isn’t clamoring for your attention. Josie isn’t the pushy type, she is quiet presence, like a long-time best friend. Josie has all the traits of an adoring, loyal dog and she is ready to come home. It’s no surprise, my favorite thing about Josie is how easy her company is. She is slow and steady in every area, whether it is with people, on-leash for a walk, with dogs, or meeting a house cat. She is, quiet company that just feels comfortable. Her demeanor and look lead us to believe she is an Anotolian shepherd mix, approximately 1 year old and she currently weighs 51 lbs, a number that surprised us given her long legs-turns out her size is mostly fluff. Breed and age are details we cannot offer 100% certainty on given the nature of her being a rescue . She may grow a smidge more but she is essentially her full grown size. Perfect midsize in our opinion. Take a look at her video to get a better view of her gorgeous ease then come back to read more! https://youtu.be/Z0Scm2htm5s Initially when we met Josie we thought she was not interested in other dogs. She was polite meeting them but didn’t engage or reciprocate invitations to play. Within a couple days of her settling in she showed us that same polite approach with dogs along with a very adorable, bouncy approach with dogs. The cutest thing is that even if they do not want to play, she will bounce off on her own to go find a ball or a toy. That is the side of dogs that come across as shy or reserved, they often are innately self-entertaining and perfectly content in their own company. The other beautiful side of watching Josie’s personality emerge is that she has also been able to help other dogs feel comfortable to do the same. Because she is calm and polite and reliably understanding of other dogs, she has become a dog that we can bring in to help under socialized or scared dogs, open up. Her presence seems to have a comforting effect and on more than a few occasions she has helped our team earn the trust of an otherwise scared or shut down dog. Dogs like Josie are always so appreciated for that peaceful and warm quality. As she has met more and more dogs it has been easy to see that her best connections are with dogs that have a calm presence but a playful energy without being pushy. Many pushy dogs have tried to get her to play by bouncing in her face and pawing at her, she is tolerant of it but has yet to take the bait. She enjoys the company of other dogs and has been an easy addition to any playgroup she has been in, with her best buddy right now being a slightly smaller male who lets her initiate play and is eager to bounce around as soon as she does. In addition to being dog friendly, Josie was respectful with our resident house cat, she barely even noticed he was in the room despite him meowing and being right at her level. Once she realized, she very calmly approached to sniff him and then she moved on, not even bothering to go back once he got up and started moving around. From what we saw Josie would make a peaceful addition to a home with feline friends. Josie would easily live in a home with a yard to stretch those long legs, while also having potential as an apartment girlie. Her quiet presence and size are apartment ready, and she has the leash skills. She may need some sweet talk and treats to build her confidence in busy areas but given her age and approach to new experiences we have confidence Josie will transition smoothly into a variety of homes. A house with a yard, or an apartment with regular walks, a loving home, a canine-companion or maybe even a feline friend… Josie is ready to quietly take on discovering the world with you by her side. If you can guard her gentle heart, she promises to help calm you from whatever the day could throw at you, fill you up with love, sweetness and loyalty in return. Looks, charm, and a golden-good heart, that’s Josie and she is ready and available to be your girl!
