Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Gardenia, a majestic Great Pyrenees with a heart as vast as the landscapes she adores. Her snowy fur and gentle eyes mirror the serene beauty of her namesake, promising a companion who brings peace and joy to every moment. Gardenia embodies the sweetness and gentleness that her breed is renowned for, making her the perfect addition to a loving family ready to embrace her kind spirit.
At two years old, Gardenia is in the prime of her life, fully grown with a calm and composed demeanor that endears her to all who meet her. She thrives in open spaces where her adventurous spirit can roam freely, exploring every nook with the curiosity of a much younger pup. Despite her size, she moves with grace, her presence in a home as comforting as a gentle breeze through a blooming garden. For Gardenia, a home with a spacious yard or access to nature trails would be a slice of heaven.
Adopting a Great Pyrenees like Gardenia comes with the joy of knowing you have a loyal friend for life, but it also requires some breed-specific knowledge. Her new family should be prepared for the responsibility of grooming her luxurious coat to keep her comfortable and healthy, as well as providing the gentle guidance and training that dogs of her intelligence and independence thrive on. Gardenia is looking for a forever home where her gentle nature will be cherished and where she can have the space she needs to explore and relax. If you have the heart and the room for this beautiful soul, Gardenia promises to fill your life with unwavering affection and countless peaceful moments.

More about this shelter
The Cabarrus County Animal Shelter is one of the core responsibilities of Cabarrus County Animal Control, a division of the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office. The shelter is an open admission shelter, which means we do not turn away any animal in need. We are a public facility that provides safe temporary shelter for homeless animals while the staff searches for permanent homes for the animals through community adoption or transfers to Rescue Partners. The animal shelter also provides a variety of other services for the community. The animal shelter is NOT a pet boarding facility. While the shelter is open admission, we do require pre-scheduled appointments for all owner surrenders. Please see our hours of operation for details.
Staff at the Cabarrus County Animal Shelter is committed to placing safe and healthy animals in the community by searching for appropriate permanent homes for adoptable animals. We work with approved Rescue Partners locally and nationally to place animals with workable behavior concerns and treatable medical issues with groups with the resources to take on those specific cases. To determine if an animal is adoptable, shelter staff must rule out any underlying medical conditions and/or temperaments that present safety risks to the community. Euthanasia is a last resort. When necessary, euthanasia is carried out with respect to the animals by a Certified Euthanasia Technician following best-practice guidelines set by the NC Department of Agriculture. It is important to Cabarrus County that all animals at the shelter receive care and compassion.
