Story
2 year old Great Pyrenees spayed female that is looking for a home in the country. UTD on vaccinations, house trained, leash trained, wireless fence trained, crate trained and LOVES car rides. Requirements of the family before considering placement: familiar with the breed, lots of space to run in a rural area, NO small dogs, would consider a large male dog (cats are ok) and someone who is home most of the day.

Buddy is 6 yr old male. The progress he has made with us in the past year is amazing! He has been going to training and is literally the smartest boy! He is so eager to please his person but does take time to trust new people. He has gotten SO MUCH better with interactions. He really is ready for his forever home! Buddy does needs to be your only pet, and no kids for him.

Story
Gunner is 10 years old, which in dog years makes him… old enough to know better but young enough to still act like a goofball. Despite his advanced age (which he prefers to call "distinguished and well-seasoned"), Gunner still has the enthusiasm of a pup—especially when it comes to toys. This guy loves his toys, neatly arranging them in one area as if he's curating a museum exhibit titled "The Art of Squeaky Things." Gunner is good with other dogs, tolerates cats, and frankly, has more manners than most people. He’s got that perfect balance of playfulness and wisdom, like a grandpa who still hits the gym but also tells the best stories. Gunner has a voice so deep and soulful he could land a record deal. If you’ve ever wanted a dog who sounds like Barry White after a long night out, Gunner’s got you covered. So, if you need a distinguished, deep-voiced, toy-hoarding best friend who will judge your organizational skills while singing the song of his people, Gunner is your guy.

Story
Jumbo is a 4 year old male. At this year's Mutt Strut, he won Most Obedient when tested in the 5 elements of sit, down, shake, stay and heel! He is a well-trained, good boy! He has been in a board and train program with John Rose at Canine Sports Unlimited for approx 6 months as John has volunteered to keep him until he's adopted, as he doesn't have the heart to return him to the shelter. Jumbo is an amazing dog - smart, handsome, fun, and looking to be a part of your home. Jumbo enjoys taking rides and makes a great passenger. I'm not sure why he hasn't been snagged up yet!
