Story

Dexter is a majestic, 4-year-old Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix with a heart as big as his fluffy pawsand a protective streak that runs just as deep. True to his breed (pyrenees experience not required but highly preferred), hes a born guardian who takes his job of watching over his people very seriously. Strangers? Suspicious. Delivery drivers? Definitely up to something. But once youre in his circle of trust, youll have the most loyal, loving companion you could ask for.This gentle giant was surrendered due to a change in his familys living situation & becoming too protective over his family. Now, he is searching for a kind-hearted home where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished.This big guy isnt looking for the fast lanehes looking for someone patient, kind, and willing to go at his pace (meaning several meet and greets). Hes had a lot to carry on those broad shoulders and needs a calm, confident human who understands that building trust with a dog like Dexter is a slow dance, not a sprint. Once he trusts you, he will shower you with affection, offering all the hugs and cuddles a dog can give!Dexter is deeply bonded to his people and wants nothing more than to feel safeand to make sure youre safe too. That instinct to protect is written into his DNA, and while its admirable, its something that will need thoughtful guidance. Dexter needs a home thats not only loving and patient, but also committed to working with a professional trainer to help him understand that he doesnt have to take on the world alone. We will cover the cost of a few training sessions after adoption. Hes a worrier. Hes cautious with new people, barks to alert, and can be reactive if he feels unsure or threatened. With the right training and structure, Dexter has the potential to relax into a more balanced and confident version of himself. Hes incredibly smart and willinghe just needs the right human to show him the way.At heart, he is a big, soft teddy bear who just wants to be close to his loved ones. Dexter would thrive in a quiet, low-traffic home where he can decompress, gain confidence, and be understood. A securely fenced yard is highly preferred; he loves to patrol, lounge in the sun, and keep watch like the noble guardian he was born to be. Hes not cut out for apartment living or busy neighborhoodstoo much hustle and bustle overwhelms him. Dexter prefers quality over quantity in his friendships. Bonus points if you have no plans for an overly social lifestyle. Hes not the dog for everyonebut for the right person, hell be everything. If youve got the heart to go slow, Dexter might just be your forever shadow. Having a Great Pyrenees is like having your own guardian angelin the shape of a 75-pound cloud with paws.Hes not a fan of chaos or surprises, and small children are too much for his peace-loving nature. Older teens or adults who respect his boundaries and understand the value of slow connection would be ideal. He may be happiest as the only dog in the home so he can soak up all your attention and feel secure. He has lived with other animals before and can coexist peacefully with calm, respectful dogsespecially if he has a chance to get to know them gradually. We would hold meet & greets with any other current dogs. On walks, Dexter loves to sniff everything he can, so he is a curious companion. He could use a bit of a refresher when it comes to leash manners, as he tends to get a little excited about all the wonderful scents and pulls on the leash sometimes. With some gentle training, hell be walking like a pro in no time!Dexter is crate-trained and house-trained, so he is well-behaved indoors. He enjoys lounging around but is always up for a quiet stroll or a bit of outdoor playtime if the mood strikes. He is the perfect companion for someone who appreciates a calm, affectionate dog with a loving nature.This handsome boy isnt for first-time dog owners, but hell absolutely thrive with someone experienced, patient, and committed to doing things the right waynot the fast way. Once he lets you in, youll never want to imagine life without him. With structure, consistency, and the support of a skilled trainer, Dexter has all the potential to blossom into the kind of companion who makes you feel like the most important person in the world. If you believe in second chances, value deep connections, and have the heart (and time) to help a dog like Dexter feel safe, seen, and understoodhe just might be waiting for you.If you would like to meet Dexter, please complete an application on our website: www.crcpa.orgCanine Rescue of Central PAKennel #3443

Story

Rexx was found abandoned on local turnpike with another dog and a litter of puppies. He arrived at the shelter very scared and needed a few days to understand his situation. He is a sweet guy that has a gentle soul. He has come a long way since his arrival at the shelter and would love to find out what a loving forever home is all about! He did test positive for two tick borne diseases: Anaplasmosis and Lyme and is currently on an antibiotic course and is doing well! He did well with the tester cat here at the shelter and does not seem to mind the company of other dogs. Rexx must meet all family members that reside in the home. He will need someone that understands the border collie breed and that will give him time to come out of his shell in a new home! He is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, Heartworm/Lyme tested, and microchipped.Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter5051 Letterkenny Road WestChambersburg, PA 17201Kennel License #2090To adopt: https://cvas-pets.org/

Poncho is one happy dog! He loves to smile and show off those cute teefs. Poncho was picked up as a puppy in the fall of 2024.

Poncho is great with other dogs, takes treats gently, is house trained, and LOVES to be outside! He really loves swimming amd romping in the pond. Poncho may have some border collie in him because he loves to run cows. He will need a fenced-in yard because he will chase cars.
