Story

❄️ Meet Snow! ❄️ Snow is a 4-year-old, 70-pound Great Pyrenees mix with the sweetest soul. This gentle giant is wonderful with dogs of all sizes, cats, and kids. She knows exactly how big she is and is incredibly gentle, even with little ones. Snow has a big, beautiful bark when needed, but on the trails she's happiest right by your side, staying close every step of the way. She'd love a family who enjoys brushing her fluffy coat, giving her plenty of nose boops, and exploring the woods together. If you're looking for a loyal, calm companion with a heart as big as she is, Snow might just be your perfect match. ❤️🐾

Story

Dixie is a 5-month-old Pyrenees mix weighing about 40 lbs, and she is one gentle, lovable girl. She has already mastered potty training and knows sit! 🎉 She’s currently working on leash walking. The big world can still feel a little loud and scary sometimes, but with patience and encouragement, she’ll get there. Dixie absolutely loves people and other dogs. 🐶❤️ She also enjoys emptying every single toy out of the toy box… apparently playing with them afterward is optional. 😂 She’s a pretty laid-back pup with just a few little bursts of puppy energy throughout the day. Most of the time, you’ll find her: 🐾 Relaxing outside 🐾 Stretched out on a cool floor 🐾 People-watching through the window 🐾 Following her humans from room to room 🐾 Happily hanging out with other dogs Dixie is sweet, gentle, well-behaved, and ready to find the family she can follow around forever. 🥹❤️

Darla

Great Pyrenees

Female, 3 mos

Appleton, WI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Darla is becoming more social every single day, and it’s been so rewarding to watch her confidence grow. She absolutely loves belly rubs and will happily roll right over for one as soon as you walk through the door. ❤️ With every day that passes, more of Darla’s goofy puppy personality comes out. She loves to investigate anything left within reach, has a talent for collecting shoes, and even made our TV remote mysteriously disappear. We’re convinced she has a secret hiding spot! 😂 She’s making great progress with potty training, and while leash walking is still a little scary for her, she’s improving a little more every day. Darla would thrive in a patient home with another playful, confident dog to help continue showing her that life is pretty great. Watching this sweet girl blossom has been such a joy, and we know her perfect family is out there.

Curro

Hound (Unknown Type) Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 3 mos

Appleton, WI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

🐾 Meet Curro… or as her foster mom calls her, Churro! 🤎 Foster Mom added an “H” because she says this little girl deserves a name as sweet as her personality — and Churro is about as sweet as they come! At just 3 months old and 12 pounds, Churro is already one smart little cookie. 🍪 She’s doing wonderfully with potty training and has learned sit, stay, down, and come. She walks nicely on a leash and loves getting out to explore. 🌟 A few things to know about Churro: 🐾 3 months old | 12 lbs 🚽 Doing great with potty training 🧠 Knows sit, stay, down & come 🦮 Walks nicely on a leash 🛏️ Kennels wonderfully — she’ll even put herself to bed! 🐶 Plays with her two 75-lb foster sisters 🥰 Professional snuggler Churro started out as a very timid little girl, but she has made amazing progress. With patience and slow introductions, she’s learning that people, dogs, car rides, and new adventures aren’t so scary after all. Food and treats are definitely her love language! She’s still learning that she doesn’t have to worry about sharing her meals, so for now she does best being fed separately in her kennel away from other dogs. At night, Churro settles nicely in her kennel and will let you know when she needs her potty break. She may be an early riser, but after a quick trip outside, she’s happy to head back to bed — especially if snuggles are involved. 🥰 And don’t let her photos fool you! Churro isn’t black — she has the most beautiful shiny, velvety brown coat that you have to see in person. 🤎 Churro is looking for a patient, loving family to continue helping her build confidence and show her just how wonderful life can be. Could Churro be your girl? 🐾🤎 📍 Appleton, WI 🐶 Apply to adopt at thehopehighway.org

🧀 Meet Ricotta! Ricotta is a 4-month-old puppy with a sweet personality and a love for adventure! She does great in her kennel and sleeps through the night, though she's an early riser when it's time for a potty break. She gets along well with other dogs and is okay with cats. She may try to chase them during playtime, but settles down when they do. Ricotta loves toys, bones, tennis balls, splashing in the water, and relaxing in the shade. She's always up for a pup cup, a car ride, or simply following her people from room to room. This smart girl already knows sit, shake, and wait—especially if treats are involved! DNA testing revealed a mix of breeds, including Akita and Chow Chow, so breed-specific adoption requirements apply. 🏡 Adoption Requirements: • Securely fenced yard required • Mandatory training program ($400 initial course + in-home sessions) • No same-sex resident dogs • Notify homeowner's/renter's insurance company • No homes with young children If you're looking for a smart, affectionate puppy to grow up with, Ricotta is ready to meet you! 🐾 Apply to adopt at thehopehighway.org
