Story
This beautiful 2-year-old spayed female Great Pyrenees is a calm, thoughtful companion looking for a knowledgeable, committed home to match her gentle nature. She responds well to verbal cues such as sit and shake a paw, is learning down, and takes treats politely, making her a pleasure to work with. Sher was in a foster home with some small dogs and older children, she really enjoys the company of another dog. Her ideal adopter will be committed to enrichment through a structured food program—including interactive feeders, hand-feeding for bonding, and positive trade-ups—and able to manage her high grooming needs with regular brushing. Ongoing guidance through a private behaviour training class is recommended or may be required, with ABC discretion, to help her settle confidently into her new home.Size: Medium 52.8kg/116lbsChildren: Adult only home please - children 12 years and older with Animal Behaviour Coordinator discretionCats: Unknown - not tested with cats, slow introductions recommendedDogs: Dog interactions in a controlled setting for initial introductions, may do best with dogs of similar playstyle

Story
Bella is an affectionate, playful girl who loves being around her people and soaking up attention. She has a big heart and an even bigger love for playtime, especially when it involves a ball she can chase and catch! She has a fun, energetic personality and enjoys staying active. She would thrive in a home that can match her energy and provide plenty of exercise, enrichment and play. She can get excited in new situations and may need a bit of guidance as she continues building her confidence and polite manners through positive reinforcement training! She has previously lived with children and can be a bit overwhelmed by busy environments, so she would do best in a home with older, more dog-savvy kids. Bella can also be selective with other dogs and tends to prefer certain canine friends, particularly calmer, opposite-sex dogs with proper introductions. Bella is a loving, loyal companion who will form a strong bond with her people. With the right support, patience and structure, she`ll truly shine in her new home!Bella is:- Open to kids (older).- Unknown history with cats.- Selective with dogs (With proper intro).

Story
If there were a "Most Likely to Be Everyone's Best Friend" award, Cooper would win it, every year, while also hosting the after-party. This friendly fella is basically a walking, tail-wagging social event who loves his people and his dog buddies with equal enthusiasm.Cooper's vibe? Golden retriever energy: happy, outgoing, and always ready to say "yes" to whatever fun you've got planned. Hanging with humans? Amazing. Playing with dog friends? Even better. Living his best life 24/7? Absolutely. He's the kind of guy who turns a regular Tuesday into a full-blown celebration.If your home is missing a little joy, a little chaos, and a whole lot of love, Cooper is ready to move in and fix that immediately.https://youtu.be/85QU2sRIQ6E Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 44.8 Age: 3yrs 11mths 3wks
