Adopted: Remmy

Hi – my name is Remmy and I am learning how much fun it is to play! Quick Facts: Breed: Great Pyrenees mix Gender: Male, neutered Age: 1 years old Size: 52 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes(best with females)! Cats? Yes! Kids? No experience yet! Background I was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Kentucky, and though the rescue folks have no idea about my past, they are pretty sure that people were not nice to me. I was sooooo very scared of people when I first arrived, but am confused and amazed to be finding out that people can be kind, and fun, and loving. I have been with my foster mom since Thanksgiving and I am slowly beginning to trust her, and this is a whole new, fantastic, amazing world for me. My foster mom says it is the most rewarding thing in the world to earn the…

Adopted: Maggie

Hi, My name is Maggie, and I am incredibly gentle, sweet, and calm! Quick Facts: Breed: Great Pyrenees mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 4 years old Size: 55 pounds Good with… Dogs? Dogs? Yes Cats? Yes! Kids? Calm and mature. History I was owned by some folks in rural KY who kept me outside 24/7. They never spent any time with me, I was out there by myself all the time, it was very sad. With nothing to do, I would dig holes in the dirt to entertain myself (and also to lay in when it was hot). They didn’t like me doing that, and when they took me to the local high-kill shelter to leave me forever, they told the staff that they were tired of filling in the holes I dug, so they were getting rid of me. Sad story, and I was quite scared at the shelter,…

Quick Facts: Breed: Great Pyrenees mix Gender: Female Age: 2 1/2 years old Size: 75 pounds Good with… Dogs or Cats?Not inside my own home. Kids? Yes, 12+ Background: I was surrendered to an overcrowded, high-kill shelter in KY when my family there fell on some hard times and had to move to an apartment that did not allow dogs.

Adopted: Sherlock

Hello!! My name is Sherlock! I am an adorable, sweet, loving, very affectionate and curious boy! Quick Fact Sheet: Age: 4 years old Breed: Great Pyrenees/hound mix Size: 60 pounds Gender: Male, neutered Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Maybe, see below Kids? Yes, see below Background: I came in as a stray to a very overcrowded, high-kill shelter in Tennessee, where I was going to be put to sleep because I had heartworms. This was a totally curable illness, not contagious, but sometimes in these shelters it’s “one strike and you’re out.” Lucky for me, they said I was just too special and one of their trainers took me under her wing so I could get treatment (I’m all better now!), and then helped get me into a rockin’ CDR foster home! Personality: If you’re looking for a perfectly mellow, gentlemanly dog, look no further than me. I am a…

Adopted: Nevin and Natalie

Hi! We are Nevin and Natalie! We are a bonded pair (maybe daddy and daughter?) and are the most special pair of dogs imaginable. Really. Our foster mom says we are the 2 nicest Great Pyrenees dogs that she has ever had the pleasure to know, which is a stunning statement, because she has rescued and fostered easily 75 of them, and pretty much every one has been a total gem! Wowza! That kind of praise makes us a little embarrassed, but it’s mighty nice to be seen to be so extra special! Quick Fact Sheet: Breed: Both purebred Great Pyrenees dogs Age and Sizes: Nevin is about 4 years old and about 85 pounds. Natalie is about 2 years old and about 90 pounds. Good with dogs: Yes, both of them like dogs! Good with cats: Not yet tested, but highly likely. Great Pyrs are almost always very gentle…

Quick Fact Sheet: Age: 1 1/2 years old Breed: Great Pyrenees mix Gender: Male, neutered Size: about 70 pounds but needs to put on some weight Good with dogs: Yes! Good with cats? No! Barks and growls at them, not a good sign… Good with kids? Yes! Background: I come all the way from KY, where I was originally in a high-kill, very crowded shelter, and it’s a pretty amazing thing that I am alive right now. The shelter needed to make some space, so called their veterinarian to come and put to sleep those of us who had been there for a little while, but when the vet met me, she just couldn’t do it. I was too sweet, she thought, and far too friendly. So she called…
