You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This pretty lady with the long, soft coat is Palma, and she’s ready for her furever home! She is a social butterfly and loves people and dogs (we don’t know about cats yet). After 5 minutes of meeting her canine foster brothers, they were all fast friends and now they go zooming around the yard playing together! Palma enjoys romping around outside with her brothers, and then coming indoors to take a good nap. She’s an average barker, and has all the Pyr-protective instincts - you can be sure that your yard will be completely free of squirrels if Palma is part of your family! Palma is young and learning all about what it’s like to live in a house, how to walk on leash, and the pros of using a crate. She’s a quick learner and has already figured out that if she lays her head on your lap, she’s going to get pets! This affectionate girl adores humans and has done well meeting new people (large and small), both inside and outside of the home. She loves being pet and getting snuggles, and can be quite enthusiastic when seeking attention, wiggling her way into an open lap! Palma’s ideal home will be with an active family that wants to include her in all the fun, whether that’s playing outside, or chilling together indoors to watch a movie, she just wants to be where the people are!

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
