Meet Johnny Cash and June Carter, a bonded pair of sweet and spirited Great Pyrenees looking for a loving foster or forever home! Johnny is a gentle, laid-back boy who adores human attention and car rides, often dreaming of sitting up front to watch the world go by. June is the playful leader of the duo, always ready to initiate fun with her signature play-bows and joyful energy that gets everyone around her moving. Together, they balance each other perfectly—Johnny brings the calm, and June brings the excitement. Both are good on a leash and enjoy practicing their skills, but they truly light up when running and playing in a secure yard. They love pats, ear rubs, and being part of the action, whether it’s lounging together or making new friends. True to their Pyrenees nature, they can be a bit vocal and occasionally mischievous, but it’s all part of their charm. Johnny and June would thrive in a home with a 5-foot fence, and a lot of love to share. Could you be the one to give this dynamic duo the happy ending they deserve? - Written by K.P.

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding. Please visit Fostering FAQfor an application and information about our fostering program.
