My story

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

Meet Alabama! This sweet and loyal girl is in search of a forever home. Believed to be just over a year old, Alabama weighs between 55-60 lbs. Although we cannot confirm her breed without a DNA test, she appears to be some sort of Great Pyrenees mix. Despite her full-grown size, Alabama has notably shorter legs and isn't as large as your typical Pyrenees.

Alabama's history is mostly unknown. She was found wandering around a local lakeside with her companion, Clarence. It is believed that they were strays in search of shelter or food, and were lucky enough to be taken in by a caring foster family. While in foster care, Alabama has been exposed to children aged 10 and older, cats, and dogs of various sizes. She strongly prefers human companionship over other dogs, though she gets along well with Clarence. She can be selective with other dogs.

Sweet, goofy, and playful, Alabama has won the hearts of her foster family. However, she has had no formal training and would benefit from a patient and dedicated owner who can help her with basic obedience, socialization, potty training, and all the essentials to become the best dog she can be. Currently kept as an outdoor dog, Alabama will need some guidance adjusting to life inside a home.

True to her Pyrenees nature, Alabama loves being outdoors and has a strong guardian instinct. She would make an excellent watchdog, preferring to guard the property rather than stay indoors. Her independent streak and tendency to wander have led her and Clarence to escape their foster yard several times, indicating she would thrive in a home with a fully fenced and secure yard or a large, supervised land area.

Alabama has a relatively medium energy level and would love a family who likes to be outside more often than not. She is not suited for apartment living and would do best in a home that understands and appreciates the breed's characteristics.

Alabama could be the perfect match if you are looking for an independent, sweet, and loyal companion. She needs a family that will appreciate her love for the outdoors and her guardian instincts.

She is up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped, dewormed, and heartworm negative

More about this shelter

The Bastrop Animal Control organization became a reality in 1998. We've grown since then and continue to do so as Bastrop County grows. Currently, we have 3 separate buildings containing a total of 90 large indoor/outdoor kennels and 8 play yards. We have 30 indoor cat kennels. We also have a 3 room cattery, that enables cats to live together in colony type environments until they find their forever home. If you have ever worked with or adopted a shelter pet, you know just how much they crave the attention and love we and our volunteers can provide and their eternal gratitude when they find their forever home at last.
