Lexi

Great Pyrenees Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult
Alanson, MI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Lexi just turned 4. She has been with our family since she was 6 weeks old. She needs a new family who can offer her a better environment. Her Great Pyrenees temperament is most prominent. She has a natural instinct to guard which has led to some issues with her nipping our children and other dog and bothering the neighborhood with some barking and escaping the yard to chase deer. Her obedience greatly improved after attending a board-and-train session last summer but she does still resource guard her food under certain conditions. It is manageable, but to be extra cautious, she should not be in a home full-time with children or other pets without more intensive training and working through the issue. She is up to date on shots with no health concerns and is trained on basic obedience as well as crates, outdoor kennels, underground fence and ecollar. I would be happy to share her whole life story beyond this limited space for anyone interested! 231-268-9367 - Carrie

Story
Hi, I'm Dante! I've got a heart full of love and a spirit that's as playful as a puppy's. I'm a goofball who loves to make people laugh with my funny antics. I'm brave, not afraid of new experiences, and smart too! I learn new tricks quickly and love showing them off. I'm also quite the cuddler, always ready to snuggle up for a good movie or book. I'm currently seeking a foster home because I'm heartworm positive. But don't worry, with some care and treatment, I'll be back to my energetic self in no time. Adopting me means gaining a loyal friend who'll bring laughter, love, and lots of cuddles into your life. I promise, we'll make the best memories together!

Story
Hello I'm Madigan! I came all the way to Northern Michigan from St. Landry Parish in Louisiana. I'm a very sweet girl and I'd love to find a family who will show me about all the finer things in life. I'm playful, energetic and ready to learn. I'm a young gal, I'm just over one year old, so we have plenty of time for you to teach me how to be my best. I hope my family comes for me soon- maybe it's you!
