Akbash puppies and dogs in St Louis Park, Minnesota

Welcome Athena to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 2-year Great Pyrenees. She weighs about 90 pounds. She has a beautiful coat and the typical extra back toes commonly found in this breed. This is a guardian breed dog. They naturally will protect their flock or family. This breed will do best in a fully fenced yard as they will roam away if there is no fence. She is good with other dogs and will need some more leash work. She would be great with someone that knows the breed and loves it. She should have the natural tendencies of this breed. She had puppies and we adopted them out. We also adopted out the larger male that was found with her as a stray. She would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. She is up on her vaccines, healthy, spayed and ready for her forever home. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpal.info/ See her cute video!!

We got Oakley when she was 6 months old and while we love her, we're just too busy to give her the attention she deserves. She's a beautiful dog but it's not the right time for us t keep her.

I’m Peanutbutter Cup, but my friends call me Peanut. I’m a 2-year-old Mini Aussie, and at 15 pounds, I’m the perfect size for snuggles and playtime. I might be a little shy and quiet at first, but once I warm up to you, I’m all about the love and cuddles. I just can’t get enough of being near my humans or hanging out with my doggy friends. Loud noises and thunderstorms can make me a bit nervous, and I’m still getting used to all the new things in the world. I’m working on my potty training and doing pretty well with it, especially when I’m on a good schedule. But I’ll be honest—crates aren’t really my thing. I’m not a fan of going in them at all. I also need some more practice with leash walking, as I tend to freeze up when I’m on one. So, I’d do best in a home with a fenced yard where I can run and play safely. When I’m outside with my doggy pals, that’s when I’m truly in my happy place. I love chasing them around and having fun in the yard. Having another dog around really helps me feel secure and confident, so I’d love to have a furry sibling in my forever home. I’m great with dogs of all sizes and even respectful of cats. I’m still learning about toys, but I’m discovering that balls and bones are pretty fun! I’m a bit shy about taking treats from your hand, so I prefer you leave them in my bowl for me to enjoy when I’m ready. I’m a big-time cuddle bug, and once I get to know you, I’ll be your shadow, following you everywhere. I have a little bit of anxiety, so a calm and relaxed environment would be perfect for me. I bark when I’m left alone, but if I have a furry friend to keep me company, I feel much better. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving companion who’s ready to be your best friend, I’m your girl. With a little patience and a lot of love, I’ll be the most loyal and affectionate member of your family. Let’s start our adventure together! *Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.    ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com> ADOPTION EVENTS:      Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend.  Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/   Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN.  All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience.  If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website  www.underdogrescuemn.com/foster-applications  and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets.  All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet.  All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal.
