My name is Kalei!

🐾 Meet Kalei — The Fluffy, Lovable, Adventure-Ready Goofball! 🐾

Great Pyrenees & Shepherd Mix | 130 lbs of Pure Love | Part Dog, Part Teddy Bear

OH. MY. DOG. Have you ever wished for a giant, snuggly best friend who thinks she’s a lap dog? Then let us introduce you to Kalei — a sweet, goofy, gentle giant who brings the fun and the fluff.

Kalei is the ultimate combo of playful puppy and wise old soul. She adores her little dog friends (even the bossy Chihuahuas), happily shares her toys, and will melt your heart with her famous "lean of love" — though at 127 pounds, consider yourself warned: this is a full-body experience.

Some of Kalei’s favorite things:
🎾 Playdates with doggy pals
🛏️ Sprawling on her giant orthopedic bed like royalty
🚗 Car rides with the windows down (ear flaps optional)
🌲 Exploring new walking trails with her humans in tow

She’s crate-trained, knows how to sit, and is brushing up on her trick repertoire — mostly so she can politely request snacks.

Fun fact: Kalei is part bionic! After a rough start (she was hit by a car as a pup), she had a hip replacement and healed like a total champ. Now she’s running, romping, and keeping up with the pack like the superhero she is.

What Kalei really wants now is a forever family — ideally with another doggy buddy — and a human or two who will let her lean on them (literally and emotionally).

If you’re looking for a giant heart wrapped in soft fur, Kalei is ready to be your adventure buddy, couch companion, and oversized shadow.

👉 Apply to adopt Kalei — she’s ready to fill your life with love, laughs, and just a little bit of drool.AARF Houston transports to approved adopters outside of Texas.
