Everett came to us as a stray from animal control. He was wary of people. He has been at the Happy Hounds Prison Dog Program for several months and has done very well! Everett is a really great dog and should be somewhere he can have a large fenced yard to play in and patrol. At first we thought Everett was a farm dog, but the husky in him does not make him suitable for farm life. Everett needs to form a bond with his person/people. He doesn't tolerate strangers and will alert them that they are unwelcome. Everett is truly a working dog whose sole purpose in life is to protect his people and property. He is not a social dog per se except with his owner(s) and family members. Because of his protective nature, he would do better in a home without children. If you are looking for a dog to protect you, your family, and your property, Everest is your boy....AND he's housebroken and obedience trained! Anyone willing to take a couple of days to bond with Everett will find out what a special dog he is; VERY loyal. He's a beautiful, smart, sweet boy that we think would love to have a family and home of his own. Please spread the word about Everett so he can have his forever family soon!
Everett is ready to be adopted. Whoever adopts this beautiful boy will need to understand that it will take a little time to bond. Once that bond is created Everett will be the perfect dog. He will protect the family and property,
Update from his trainer: Week 24. Not much more to say about Everett. He a Pyrenees and needs a furever home that understands the breed. He bonds strongly with his people in about 2 days. He will always be a guard dog (in his DNA). He will always protect his people. He knows are his commands and cues. Everett is a very humble and observant dog especially to strangers. He does guard his "space". He is not actively involved with any other dogs. No issues with toys or food. He's more of a guarder around his "home". Overall, Everett is a great dog as long as he acknowledges their trust which has to be earned. He knows his commands/cues like sit, down. He isn't destructive and a good leash walker (unless he sees something that distracts him). He is particularly annoyed by trucks for some reason, so a fenced yard is a must.

More about this rescue
OUR HISTORY
In 2010, Eileen Gideon’s family gave her the gift of an adorable bloodhound puppy for her birthday. She named him Jethro. when Jethro had his first vet appointment, Eileen discovered that he had some hereditary issues that indicated that he had likely come from a puppy mill. Jethro, it turned out, like many puppies, had come from a pet store that purchased their puppies from an Amish puppy mill. This discovery led Eileen to begin researching about puppy mills, breeders, and the overwhelming number of pets in shelters and rescues in need of homes.
This lead her to want to help, and the more she learned the more she realized she needed to become actively involved. So Eileen founded Uniting 2 Save Animals, a 501(3)c organization dedicated to decreasing the number of unwanted, homeless pets in our area.
Jethro’s Happy Hounds Haven, a division of Uniting 2 Save Animals, was formed in 2022 in memory of Jethro, to provide a safe haven for dogs who in turn provide a safe haven for our heroes. The love of a dog can bring miracles to life. And it all starts by saving one dog. And then letting that dog save you.
We don’t just save animals – we save the animals so the animals can save people. Our therapy dog program provides certified therapy and companion dogs for veterans and first responders suffering from PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other disorders. We know not every rescue dog is a fit as a therapy dog, so while all dogs receive the same training, we also have dogs available for general adoption.
