Story
Dolly was abandoned with the rest of her litter in November of 2024. We took her in as a puppy. She quickly has grown and out grown our home. She has had her first round of shots but nothing else as we have struggled to accommodate her needs financially. She is a great dog, very loving, but like to roam and needs a bigger space than what we can give her right now. She loves people and kids but does need some obedience training. We love her but just can't provide what she really needs at this time. She is a great companion dog.

Story
Big Guy is a Great Pyrenees. His name is a mirror of his weight, which is around 80lbs. We love his badger markings on his face! He loves to be around people and gets along well with other dogs. He's easy going and is unbothered by most things. He is very well mannered and socialized. He does not want to be an outdoor dog. He prefers to be indoors with his people. With any breed some research should be done before committing to one. 5 things you need to know about Great Pyrenees: 1. They dig 2. They bark 3. They shed twice a year for 6 months at a time 4. They drool 5. They roam These aren't traits you can "train out of them". They make wonderful pets in the home or on a farm. They're loyal and stubborn. Tib is awaiting the next part of his life. The part where he gets his own family. He is neutered, UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, Treated for flea/tick and dewormed. For return calls on Big Guy, please submit an application. It is much more productive to speak with you when we have an idea about your living situation. Due to limited resources and time, we will not be answering questions or returning calls until we have an approved application. That is the first step in our adoption process. His adoption fee is $250 Applications can be found on our website: https://www.jessaminehumanesociety.org
