My story

Hi, my name is CHUNK and I'm a neutered male about 3-1/2 yrs old. I'm a terrific looking dog! I'm confident, animated and very expressive, However, I'm not going to be able to get along with everyone. I'm very particular about who I like and who I don't, and I can be a real jerk from time to time. Some times I'll let you pet me, and other times I'll growl and tell you to leave me alone. I can be a real "ARS", but if you're someone I "CAN" live with, that will be up to ME. Don't expect me to live with kids... I have no use for them! In fact, if you are a "live and let live" person we might get along just fine. Everyone else need not apply AND don't expect me to like other family dogs... cat's are cool, though!
I want a nice fenced yard that I can come and go in. I'm protective of my stuff but, I can be sweet when it's on my terms. I don't want to live around chaos and would prefer a quiet or rural environment. You know, I've been so happy here that I don't know if I want to leave, which means... I dare you to adopt me! So, if you are attracted to good looking, temperamental guys, I could be your man.

Additional adoption info

Applicants have to fill out an application. Go to http://www.spgpc.com/adoptionprocess.htm The application consists of 4 pages and 60 questions relating fenced yards, whether they have had this breed before or large dogs. Three references are required, one from their veterinarian, one from someone they've gotten a dog from before (if applicable) and a personal reference. If the application looks good, then we proceed to the references. If the references are good then we schedule a home study to make sure the dogs will thrive in that environment. Finally we engage the applicants into a contract that spell out their responsibility to the dog and us and our responsibility to them and the dog they are adopting. We then assign a mentor to help them through the transition period and a 1 yr membership to the club. Whether they maintain the membership in force or not we are still a resource to them for the life of the dog. And should life happen, we always take our dogs back.

Go meet their pets

Our pets can be viewed by click the link: https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelterid=CA957 or by visiting our web site www.spgpc. Dogs are housed at our private facility and appointments to view the animals are easily made by calling (916) 791-7580. We are located in Granite Bay, CA which is 23 miles East of Sacramento.
We often frequent adoption events, so dogs can be viewed at those sites when they occur.

More about this rescue

We belong to a breed club and take in Great Pyrenees and Great Pyrenees mix dogs. Once a dog is taken into our program, it is restored to health, brought current on all vaccines, micro chipped, had microscopic fecal exams and treated for parasites and worms and had a heart worm test. If positive they are treated before making adoptable and if negative, they are put on a heart worm monthly preventative as well as a preventative for fleas and ticks. All dogs are groomed prior to adoption and are in good health.
