My name is Launch!

Launch is ready to share her story!

Sometimes I wish I could go back to my puppyhood. Things were so simple back then. I would play in the sun with my siblings, chase after butterflies, and then cuddle up to my mom at night. Boy has life changed for me though. I have never really had a home...or a family for that matter. I have drifted from place to place, but I was never allowed in. People would feed me here and there, but then I would be on my way again.

Eventually, I ended up at the animal shelter....although it was more like a pound. Only a few kennels, very small, and with limited people coming in to look for their new family member. Throw in the fact that I am on the timid side since I was never socialized....and even I knew the chances of me leaving that pound were limited. Thankfully, a nice volunteer reached out to this rescue about me, and before I knew it my new life had begun! I landed in a great foster home, was brought inside the house for the first time in my life, and get lovings and food on a daily basis. It is almost too good to be true!

My name is Launch and I am a 7-month-old female Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix. I weigh around 62lbs right now.

Ever since I ended up homeless I have been dreaming of a forever family. One that will love me for the rest of my life! I know it is a big decision so I had my foster family fill out this questionnaire to make sure you are 100% sure about me!

No. She is more of a homebody and would prefer to stay mainly in her own home with a yard. Not constantly be out and about on walks.

-Is your foster a big barker?
No.

-What would be your fosters ideal home?

Launch would love a home with another dog and one that isn't too active.

-Is there anything else you would like to mention about your foster dog?

Launch is a very sweet, loving, and reserved girl. She was very nervous and shy when she first came into our home but she's been making so much progress! Launch needs a patient home who understands that she's been through a lot and doesn't trust people right away. It took about a week for her to begin to trust me and the wait is definitely worth it! Getting her to go somewhere you want isn't always the easiest but if you put a leash on her she will follow you anywhere! Going low to the ground gets her to respond much better! She is super affectionate and absolutely loves pets and cuddles! If you're looking for a dog who is needy but equally independent, this is your girl! She loves toys and needs them if you have any wooden furniture, otherwise, she gets bored and will chew on wooden items if she doesn't have access to toys. Launch does great free-roaming the house and gets along great with her foster siblings! She is absolutely amazing and deserves the most loving home!

Phew! That took longer than I thought! Hopefully, all your questions about me were answered though! Before you apply to adopt me I have a few last things that I would like to discuss!

-How can someone adopt me?
The first step is to fill out an adoption app for me at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app

Once this app comes in, it will get sent on to my foster family and they will help me decide if we are a match or not.

-Where are you being fostered?
I am being fostered in Moore, OK.

-Would I need to pick you up?
Yes, you would need to pick me up. This rescue does not send us on transports. It is less stress on us that way. Plus, you and I can already start bonding on the road trip home!

-Can I adopt you even if I don't live in Oklahoma?
Yes, I am okay moving to a new state.

-How much is your adoption fee?
My adoption fee is $225.

That includes my DHLPP, Rabies, and Bordatella shots. I will be micro-chipped, heart-worm tested, have a fecal done, be de-wormed, be spayed/neutered, and will be current on heart-worm and flea/tick prevention.
