Story

🐾 Meet Brodie! 🐾Brodie is a 1-year-old, 75-pound Great Pyrenees/Husky mix with a big personality and even bigger energy! This handsome guy is looking for an active home that can keep up with his adventurous spirit.✔️ Good with dogs, cats, and children✔️ Potty trained✔️ Walks fairly well on a leash✔️ Knows how to sit✔️ Loves attentionBrodie is a high-energy pup who does best after getting at least 30 minutes of exercise—once he’s had his run time, he settles in much better for handling and attention. He can be a bit stubborn when corrected, so he’ll need a patient and consistent owner who understands independent breeds.🚧 Important things to know:• Brodie is an escape artist and roamer—recommend a secure fence (8 ft does well for him) or other secure way to contain• Not good with poultry• Unknown with other livestockBrodie is scheduled to be neutered on 6/25 and will need to come back to the shelter for his appointment. If you’re looking for a fun, active companion and have the space and structure he needs, Brodie could be your perfect match!📩 Interested in meeting Brodie? Contact us or stop by to learn more!

Story

🐾 Meet Sir DH! 🐾Sir DH is a 9-month-old, 64-pound Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd mix who is full of energy, personality, and potential! This young guy came to us as a stray and is looking for a very experienced, structured home ready to help guide him into a well-mannered adult.✔️ Scheduled for neuter on 6/25 (adopter must bring him back for appointment)✔️ Not aggressive with other dogs✔️ Will respect a cat that sets boundariesSir DH is still very much a puppy in a big body. He has no formal training yet and will need consistent guidance, structure, and patience. He is extremely high energy and will require a proper outlet to burn that energy daily.🚧 Important things to know:• Escape artist — will require secure, escape-proof confinement• Dog interactions are immature — he may bark and grab at the back of another dog’s neck (puppy behavior), so any dogs in the home must be very tolerant and patient• Required to meet all dogs in the home prior to adoption• Best suited for a home with no children or older children only due to jumping and overwhelming behavior• Needs a firm, experienced owner who can provide structure and trainingSir DH has a lot of potential in the right hands, but he is not a beginner dog. With the right leadership, exercise, and training, he can grow into an incredible companion.If you’re ready for a challenge and want to invest in a young dog who needs guidance, Sir DH may be the one for you!📩 Contact us or stop by to meet Sir DH!

Story

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION IN NEW ENGLAND & THE MIDWEST Dear Future Forever Family, Hi! My name is Annie, and I'm a beautiful chocolate labby girl looking for a family to call my own! If you're looking for a dog who believes there's no such thing as "too much together time," we might just be the best of friends! New people and unfamiliar situations can make me a little nervous at first, but once I warm up, my walls come down and my sweet, loyal personality starts to shine. My favorite thing in the world is being close to my people. If you're looking for a devoted companion, I could totally be your girl! I'll happily follow you from room to room, keep you company while you work, watch TV, cook dinner, or relax on the couch. Wherever you are, that's where I'd like to be too. I get along wonderfully with other dogs and currently live with a Great Dane. We enjoy the occasional play session, but we're just as happy relaxing together. I'm also kid-friendly and enjoy being part of the family. I'm still learning a few basics like leash manners and commands, but I'm eager to please and trying my absolute best every day. What I need most is a patient family that will help me continue building confidence and discover that the world isn't such a scary place after all. In return, I promise unconditional love, unwavering loyalty, and a best friend who will always be by your side. Fair warning, though... once I fall in love with you, personal space may become a thing of the past. :) All my love and tail wags, Annie Annie is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and current on preventatives. If you'd like to give this sweet chocolate girl the forever home she's been waiting for, apply to adopt at www.luckylabrescue.com.
