Story
Baloo is the biggest sweetheart you will ever meet! He will be neutered very soon as he is of age for a large breed! While a hard decision for our family to rehome, as our family grows, Baloo needs the attention he deserves. At just over 1 year old Baloo has all the love to give, although he is a stubborn boy he means well. He loves to guard and protect the yard and smaller animals as Great Pyrenees do! He is social and friendly to everyone he meets. He would do well with a family or on a farm!

Story
Mercy is such a wonderful girl. I got her from someone who was getting too sick to take care of her, and her home before that was abusive towards her. She is so smart and loving and still has so much puppy in her, she is about 2 years old. She knows many commands and is great at listening, some times she can be a brat and not listen right away. She does have some troubles with tinkling when she gets too excited or when she thinks shes in trouble. She does not do well with other dogs in a home or outside. She has lived with three cats and really just ignores or sometimes tries to play with them. She is great with kids, just likes to jump. Sometimes with large groups she will try to herd people by snapping at their sides, she isn’t trying to hurt anyone she just wants them to move. She really just needs some patience and someone that would be willing to work with her and her anxiety. I would love to stay in contact for at least a few months so i can see how she is doing.
