Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Princess! Her life before becoming a Big Fluffy Dog was anything but a fairy tale. This 7 year old Great Pyrenees came in to rescue in miserable shape from a very high kill shelter in New Mexico. She weighed 160 pounds and was morbidly obese due to a health issue. She was also petrified. Months later, and we can all see that she is much healthier and happier, and she has her own pot-bellied pig friend to look after, and a sofa to hang out on while she looks for her forever home. This is a happy ending in the making.
Have you ever wondered what a pup would have to do to earn the title of 'Princess'? One must be perfectly comfortable with both known friends and strangers alike. A Princess can casually stroll up to anyone and charm them completely. She is a fabulous companion and loves to lounge about and just soak up some rays. A canine princess does not feel the desire to prove herself by running about performing random tasks such as 'fetch' or chase thrown objects. Although she is certainly will indulge her people from time to time with her generous spirit.
Our Princess Phoebe is all of these things and more. She is sweeter than sunshine, a fantastic companion and a joy to be around. Princess Phoebe is a 7 year-old BIG dog that will soon be quite fluffy as her fur grows back in. She loves to spend time with other pups and even has a made friends with her foster's pig! She is simply precious!

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.
