My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Fallon is a very special girl with a heartbreaking story. Grab some tissues before you read any further.

When Fallon came into rescue in January, she had been shot execution-style in her head as that was clearly the only option available to her previous owner who no longer wanted her. Not only did Fallon survive, but we were able avoid amputating her leg that experienced some nerve damage as a result of the assault. As if that wasn’t enough of an accomplishment, she has somehow remained the sweetest and most loving dog imaginable.

Fallon has a charming and playful disposition. She is great with everyone and everything – all people, children of all ages, all dogs, and all cats. She is house trained and has impeccable house manners, however she cannot be crated. Ever. She is perfection on a leash, and is also happy to romp and patrol her own fenced backyard. Fallon is medium energy, and loves to indulge with afternoon siestas in the sunlight.

There are a couple prerequisites for Fallon’s perfect forever home – she needs someone home most of the time, and she needs a canine companion. She’s great with children and would be a wonderful family dog, however she could also be placed in a home without children. She would be happiest with a fenced yard, as she is true to her Great Pyrenees lineage. In that same vein, we would love to find someone with prior Great Pyrenees experience so they understand what to expect from her.

Fallon is adoptable in the northeast (CT, DE, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, RI, VA, VT). Fallon is near and dear to everyone in our rescue, and we are looking for an exceptional home for her. She deserves nothing less. If you’re interested in adopting Fallon, please complete an adoption application at www.bigfluffydogs.com, and then email kim@bigfluffydogs.com. Thank you!


If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-PET: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
