Story
Maple is a beautiful girl with lots of love to give. While shy and unsure at first, she will warm up in time. Maple is everything she is supposed to be, she is intelligent, curious, hardworking and protective of her people. Maple was born to adventure. She loves exploring new places and has even driven (well, rode!) across the country! She is a CA girl. ☀️ Maple loves, and when I say “loves”, I mean LOVES, a good belly rub. Just say the word and she will roll right over. Maple will be five on October 29, 2026. Maple would like to be the only pet in the house. I know, diva! She should not be around cats or children. If you need an adventure buddy with the most beautiful brown eyes, Maple is your girl. As much as it hurts, we are rehoming Maple because she does not get along with our other pets. We have done training with behavioral professionals and she cannot be trusted around cats or children. Please reach out with any questions. The adoption fee will go to a charity of your choice.

Story
I really need to to tell you about how AMAZING she is so she can find herself a forever family! Zara was surrendered to our rescue partners at just one year old for getting “too big.” I’m really not sure what they expected her to be…  ‍ At 54 pounds and very clearly large breed mix Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix, we’re not exactly sure what they expected—but thankfully, Zara landed safely in a wonderful foster home and has proven to be an absolute gem.  This beautiful gal loves playing fetch, tug-of-war, chasing balls, carrying sticks and spending time outdoors! After some fun, she’s more than happy to relax and soak up attention from her people or just chill out on the kitchen floor!  Zara is potty trained, crate trained, walks nicely on leash, and rides great in the car — her fosters LOVE HER and she’s a really good girl True to her working breed mix side, Zara loves being around to her people and will happily follow you from room to room. She’s loyal, affectionate and enjoys being part of whatever you’re doing!  If you’re looking for a happy, well-rounded companion who is always up for an adventure and equally happy to cuddle, Zara may be your perfect match. 1 yo @54 lbs Shepherd/Pyr mixsuper sweet & lovingdog friendly older kids ok already altered, vaccinated & microchipped  available for adoption 7/16-apply now to bring her home from Amesbury on our website - link in bio   *Please note: We're an all-volunteer organization, and incomplete applications cannot be processed.* If you're interested in adopting a GBP rescue PAL, please submit an application through the link below.
