You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Juniper: The Sweet, Loyal Companion You’ve Been Waiting For! Looking for a gentle giant to brighten your days? Juniper, our beautiful spayed female Great Pyrenees, is waiting for her forever home, and she just might be the perfect fit for you! Juniper and her sister Daisy were both adopted out in 2021, but due to changes in living situations with their previous adopters, they came back to us in mid-2024. While Daisy was adopted again in spring 2024, Juniper’s journey continued, and now she’s ready to find her true forever family. Juniper is the ideal blend of independence and affection. Whether she’s keeping watch over the yard, strolling the fence line like the natural protector she is, or cuddling up on the couch for some quality snuggle time, Juniper knows how to make you feel loved. Her gentle and devoted nature makes her a wonderful companion, and she’s always eager to be near her humans, offering up cuddles and comfort whenever you need them. What Makes Juniper Special: Cuddler Extraordinaire: Juniper is a total lovebug, happiest when she’s surrounded by her people. She’s a natural at giving love, making her the perfect cuddle buddy. Dog-Friendly: She’s easygoing around other dogs of all shapes and sizes, making her a great addition to any home with canine companions. Protective & Loyal: As a Great Pyrenees, Juniper has an innate instinct to protect, always keeping a watchful eye on her family while maintaining a calm, loving demeanor. Adventurer at Heart: Juniper has been great in a crate and on the bed of a truck with a topper when her foster mom is out skiing. She’s also been off-leash at the ski hill and done amazing so far, staying close to the house and never straying. Juniper simply loves being near her people! While Juniper is a true protector, she does experience separation anxiety and can use some extra reassurance when left alone. She can also be a little protective of her treats and could benefit from gentle guidance with resource guarding. With some patience and positive training, Juniper will continue to blossom into the well-rounded companion we know she can be! Juniper is seeking a calm, loving environment where she can thrive — whether it’s watching over the yard, enjoying quiet moments with her family, or joining in on adventures. She would do best in a home that can offer her the patience, attention, and security she needs to feel truly at home. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and easygoing companion, Juniper might just be the perfect fit. She’s currently in foster care in Helena, eagerly awaiting her forever family. If you're ready to welcome this sweet, gentle girl into your life, Juniper is ready to shower you with love!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 8, 2025, 11:33 am

Story
Zango is a 3 year old, sweet lab mix who loves the love. He`s a good walker, and would make an excellent adventure companion. Zango deserves his own forever home where people love and cherish him. He loves to play fetch and run till he is ready for belly rubs. He is always up for a playdate but prefers to be the only dog in the house.

Story
Sativa is a smart, funny, and gentle pup with lots of love to give! She is affectionate, curious, and playful, and will be your loyal companion. She loves to play and explore, but also knows how to relax and enjoy the quiet life. She can be a little bit independent, but always comes back for kisses and cuddles. Sativa would be the perfect fit for a household in search of a friendly and loving dog. However, please take note that she does not do well with cats, so she`ll be best in home of just canines. If you believe Sativa would be the perfect fit for your family, please inquire about adopting her today!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.The following is from Albi's current foster in Pray, MT where he has been for the last several months: Albi - love this boy, independent, listens when spoken to with intentions clear, smart thoughtful, happy on couch, happy to walk on leash,  but no cars nearby - they are something to chase down, I'm working on that.  Does pull when smells are off path but with strong correction verbal and leash will get back on track,  doesn’t feel good in the car - gets a little carsick.   Prefers to guard house and stay home. Food resource guarding. Working on that but feed separately and make him sit and wait for ok.  He wants to please and is sensitive. He is good with certain cats and should be a long slow introduction and check compatibility, no cats that are “runners”. Good on walks - slow meet and greet with new people. Very protective of yard and door to house. Probably would be best to have no kids or at least not younger than older teens, just an intuition.  Albi really needs adults with breed knowledge and experience.  He knows Sit, Stay, Down, Shake,Come. He’s a good boy, biggest concern with him is food aggression and  keeping away from counter surfing. Likes companionship, needs humans.   Looks for direction and respect and listens.  AND - just in case you might be looking for two dogs, Albi's friend Savannah who is at the same foster, is also available thru our Utah rescue friends: https://gprescuerum.rescuegroups.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=20518014#prettyPhotoVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 1, 2025, 5:21 pm
