Story

Frannie is a very sweet, gentle girl who's favorite thing is to play with other pups. She loves to run around outside with friends. She is good with other dogs and hasn't met cats yet so that is an unknown. Frannie is doing great with houstraining and if kept on a schedule does her business outside. Frannie's foster family is still getting to know her so updates will be coming soon but if her picture caught your eye, please fill out an application to learn more about her! Frannie is estimated to be 5 months old and 30 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested. If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at http://www.safehandsrescue.org under Adopt and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting. We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events!

Athena

Great Pyrenees

Size

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Welcome Athena to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 2-year Great Pyrenees. She weighs about 90 pounds. She has a beautiful coat and the typical extra back toes commonly found in this breed. This is a guardian breed dog. They naturally will protect their flock or family. This breed will do best in a fully fenced yard as they will roam away if there is no fence. She is good with other dogs and will need some more leash work. She would be great with someone that knows the breed and loves it. She should have the natural tendencies of this breed. She had puppies and we adopted them out. We also adopted out the larger male that was found with her as a stray. She would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. She is up on her vaccines, healthy, spayed and ready for her forever home. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpal.info/ See her cute video!!

Story

This is Kit, she’s a Doberman/Great Pyrenees mix born approximately 9/29/22.  Kit has fully acclimated to our home, as a foster, after about 10 months here. She has done well at adoption events, curiously sniffing people & enjoying pets. She will always be timid with new people, but is definitely settling in more quickly now that she is gaining confidence. She will cautiously sniff new people & approach, but it will take her a bit to truly invite attention.  She also is responding to the “come” command to get her leash or harness on, where a few months ago, she would run away from the leash the minute it came out.  We moved her kennel, so had a bit of challenge re-orienting her to it, but she still goes in easily & is quiet when there.  If Kit had her way, she would be outside all the time, she LOVES running outside & would do amazing with a dog or two to run around with and a fenced in yard-preferably a privacy fence. She is very dog friendly, but does give cues when she is tired or has a favorite toy/bone. She does have a high prey drive so no cats, birds, rabbits or other small pets. We have chickens and she's VERY interested in them. She comes when called "inside" & knows the "kennel" command. She eats in her kennel & has never made a peep when in it during my work hours. She does bark at most of the passerby's outside on the busy sidewalk, as we live just down from a school, so there is lots of foot traffic. She REALLY likes sleeping in bed with us, but that is a rare occasion. She is getting more snuggly on the couch too & really loves attention, when she is ready for it.  After 10 months, she finally rolled over for belly rubs & took a few treats from my hand! Due to her cautious nature, older, respectful kids would be best. She will take time an patience to adjust in a new environment but when she does the little things will reward you tenfold. She's been in rescue long enough and would love a home of her own.  Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX , flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $550.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 19, 2024, 6:04 pm

Story

Not treat motivated  No accidents No separation anxiety  Dwight would do best in an active home (His foster believes a home without younger children would be ideal) Loves to be outside  Goes on errands with his Foster like Home Depot runs and Petco visits One time Dwight saw a mannequin and nuzzled it's hand so it would 'pet' him - Cute!! Dwight would like everyone who sees him to say hi  Dwight is a handsome Great Pyrenees and Border Collie mix! He loves dog parks and playing outside, rolling in the grass. He will do well in a fenced property or farm. He is leash trained, muzzle trained, and crate trained, however, the door often remains open. He’s a quick learner. He’s a little over 2 years old and shy of 100 pounds. He knows no, wait, down, paw, gentle, bed, belly, “get it” to eat, and sit with many more things he’s still perfecting. He loves the butt scratches but when he is sleeping her prefers to be left alone. He can sometimes be a little protective of his chew bones or food. He doesn’t play fetch but he loves chasing a laser like a cat. He prefers humans to chase him as a way of playing. He came from a home with two adults and should not go to a home with children. He’s used to a more quiet space and doesn’t do very well with loud noises. He did a great job outside watching his previous owner in his work shop. He does a great job being an outside guard dog, that’s definitely the Great Pyrenees in him. He loves to work and play. He has a ton of energy.     Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  or    *The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

Olaf

Great Pyrenees

Brooklyn Center, MN

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Olaf is a Great Pyrenees who is estimated to be about 3-4 years old. He gets along with everyone - dogs, cats, and kids. Olaf would like slow introductions to men as he finds them a little scary at first but he has no issues coexisting with them.   Olaf kennels perfectly and can be expected to be nearly potty trained in his new home. He has only had one accident in his foster mom's home.   This big guy is going to need a special home because he has a neurological disability that has caused severe weakness in his back legs. This doesn't slow him down except when it comes to stairs. Olaf can only handle 2-3 stairs on his own before he needs assistance. For this reason, Olaf should be adopted by a family with very little stairs that Olaf would need to navigate, especially between inside & outside. Rest assured, Olaf can still walk, run and play as long as his back paws are looked after as they do occasionally bend at an odd angle. He also has no issues going to the bathroom by himself.   Olaf is a very social dog who would do best in a home that also has another dog. He especially like big dogs.   His new family should also know that Olaf is true to his breed - Great Pyrenees do tend to bark a bit more than other breeds but it is very manageable and frankly, we think Olaf's bark is pretty cool - deep & rumbly. This means Olaf will thrive in a single family home that does not share walls with other families.   To recap, Olaf will need:   - A home with very little stairs, especially between inside & outside - At least one doggy brother or sister - A home without shared walls - And most importantly, a home that has LOTS of love to give and receive   If your home fits the bill, please consider giving Olaf a chance. You won't regret it! Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX , flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. //   Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee: $450 plus taxHello, my name is Bob! I’m an 85 pound, 1 yr 3-month old Great Pyrenees x Saint Bernard mix. I love going to stores like Fleet Farm and Home Depot for visiting and training. While I’m out and about I love meeting new people and children especially if they give me treats! I'm a huge fan of couch cuddles, paw rubs, and looking out the window at squirrels.  I’m fully potted trained and proud to say I passed puppy and basic obedience class with flying colors.   I’m looking for an active family that has a fenced backyard so I can roam and spend lots of time in the sunshine.  I’m used to walking 1.5 to 3 miles daily and would love to continue that routine. I would also like a family that is home a lot and not gone for 7+ hours a day. I’m learning kennel training now and doing very well. I would prefer to be with a family that has a medium to large adult dog that is calm, or to be an only child. High-energy dogs make me nervous, and I don’t like that kind of high level of stimulation. I’m not a fan of cats even though I think they look like toys to play with. I may have a loud bark when I see a dog or bike rider outside my window, but I am very loyal and want to protect my family and let them know what I see. Even though I am very gentle with people and little children, I would like someone who has experience with my breed and is a good pack leader for me to follow. If you think I would be a great fit for your family I would love to meet you!

Hi! I’m Penelope, my close friends call me P. I’m originally from Alabama but came to Minnesota for a better life. I’m currently living at the Warrior Dog facility but I’d love to find my forever home! Here’s a few things about me: * I have a very sweet and calm personality, but also have a very silly side! * Cuddling and napping are two things I’m really good at.* I’d love if I could find a family that is home a lot or can take me places with them. I don’t like to be alone very much. * I absolutley LOVE being outside! I can bask in the sun for hours. Those are just a few highlights of what life could be like with me. I’d love if you came to meet me so that I can show you what a good girl I am. I hope to see you soon! ***FOSTER TO ADOPT***Penelope is Heartworm positive and is currently going through treatment. Once her treatment is complete, the adoption can be finalized. Once her adoption is finalized, it is the responsibility of the adoptive family to get a Heartworm test every 2 months to follow up on her treatment progress until she has a negative result which can take 2-9 months. During these months, you will need to make sure her heart rate is not elevated due to high energy play or exercise. Penelope will also need continued use of monthly Heartworm prevention going forward. These medical needs will be the responsibility of the adopter. If you are interested in adopting Penelope, please fill out an adoption application.--------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.

Story

We are looking to rehome our lovely Murphy due to realizing that he needs more space (farm or large yard with a fence) and (preferably) to be in a home with another big dog that he can play with. Murphy is a year old and 72lbs. He is a very sweet boy who wants to be outside and playing and/or to be around his people. He is very smart. We have been working on commands such as sit, stay, come, place and kennel. He's still trying to get a hang of "come" but otherwise is learning quite well. He is getting more comfortable with his kennel and sleeps there at night and will often go in and lay down when we are around. He cannot yet be off leash as he will run. He gets several walks a day and does quite well on a leash. He does really well with our other 4lb dog but sad because she won't play. Our cat will not come out of the basement, as he is too scared, and therefore we don't know how well the two of them would do. Murphy is a great dog and just needs a more fitting space/home.

Well hey there! My name is Dorothy and I’m ready to find my furever family! I came to MN from the south and I quite like it here. I LOVE to be outside, no matter what temperature it is. After playing outside, I’m perfectly content to snuggle up with my blanket and take a nap. My favorite part of living the good life is getting to learn from my canine foster sister. She has really helped me learn the rules of being a dog, so I’d like to find another confident dog in my forever home. Do you have kids? Totally fine by me! I love having little people around and am very respectful of them. I take direction quickly and can’t wait to learn more commands from you! I like to sit back and observe my environment before jumping right in, so I might be a little shy when we first meet. But don’t worry, I’ll be asking for pets from you in no time! I’m ready to meet you if you’re ready to meet me, so fill out an adoption application today! If you would like to meet Dorthy, please visit spotslaststop.org and fill out an application.

Daffodil D5924 - ADOPTION BEING FINALIZED

Farmington, MN

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. My name is Daffodil but my foster family calls me “DILLY.” I'm a Great Pyrenees mix and my approximate date of birth is 09/22/2022. While I'm excited to meet you now, I am scheduled to be spayed on April 29th and pending how I heal, will be ready to come join your home shortly thereafter!  I’m a big gal. If you’re a lover of big dogs, I’m definitely the one for you. I have all the benefits a large dog can offer: Protection, cuddles, soft fur, a beautiful profile, lap warming abilities. All of it. I’m definitely a Great Pyrenees mix because I love to protect my home and do security checks around the property. When my foster human kiddos play outside, I will gladly babysit them and hang out with them until the end of time. I even have chickens in my foster home and I do a good job of protecting them too. Squirrels beware though, I’m on duty and I will chase you!  In my foster home I live with 4 cats, a lot of chickens, 2 adult humans and 3 kiddo humans including 1 baby. I love all of them and do great with everyone! Cats, I definitely can live with, but I also like to chase them so sometimes they don’t like that. Because I’m so big, I do accidentally knock the baby over once in a while. Oops. I can’t help it and I don’t mean to do it! I am potty trained and kennel trained. I sleep in my kennel perfectly at night and don’t make a peep. If I need to go potty, I either use my doggy doorbell or I sit by the door to get your attention. I am probably the best dog to walk, like ever. My mom says I don’t pull a whole lot, I pay attention to her signals and I greet people nicely. I’m still skittish and scare easily, so sometimes I get frightened by loud noises, but that’s about it. I had a rough start before coming to rescue. I was found pretty skinny, weighing in at 48 lbs when I should be between 80-100lbs. For this reason, I LOVE food. If you need to teach me a trick, food works great. I’m so smart it only took me 4 days to learn both sit and shake paw. Imagine what else I could learn! I absolutely LOVE the sun and laying in the grass, where after releasing my "zoomies", I drop down on the ground, close my eyes, and take in all the smells and warmth. I can't wait to experience my first summer! When I'm inside, I love to fall asleep on the couch (taking up the entire thing) or lay on your lap. I love my squeaky toys and kong full of treats. Anything to keep me busy is awesome, because I’m smart. Smart dogs need to have jobs or be kept busy.  Some input about me, and where my best fit would be: - A busy house would be a great fit for me! - I seem to do great free roaming when the humans are gone, but I can also kennel if needed. I do the kennel at bedtime. - I would do best in a home without cats. - I LOVE kids. They are so lickable. - I do great with other dogs, BUT they do still scare me, so I can be really shy when meeting them. After I get to know them though, it’s PLAY TIME! - I need an owner that understands that smart dogs need jobs. Couch potatoes need not apply, I need interaction and stuff to do. - I went to a Brewery with my fosters and did so good in Public. If you want a dog for outings, I would be a good fit. - Outdoor adventures are a must. - I’m a Great Pyrenees, so although I’m super smart, I can be stubborn and listen when I feel like it. If you know anything about Great Pyrenees, you’ll know this is exactly how we all are!  - I'm a fantastic walker and will definitely need lots of walks to exercise my giant legs. I don't pull all that much, unless the kids are way ahead of me and I want to catch up to them, otherwise, taking in those smells is something I look forward to everyday.   - I’m loyal beyond words. If you pick me, I’m in this for life. I’m yours. I hope to get a chance to meet you soon so that we can start our life together while I'm still a young and a growing girl! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal? Please go to our website www.wagsmn.org and fill out an Adoption Application.  Once the application is processed, a Wags representative will contact you, answer any questions you may have, and set up a time/location for a meet and greet!  A home visit is required prior to adoption.  Thank you for choosing to adopt!

Story

Morrison was born on 9/11/23 in Arkansas. I have been looking for a livestock guardian dog to help me with my blossoming herd of dairy goats and I just so happened to have friends traveling this winter and they came across this pup. Last of a litter, 3 months old, farmer put it out in a pen to forget about. We have had him since January and he is a very shy boy. With the right family, one that has the love and patience to work and build his confidence and has at least one other dog to encourage him to be a dog and do dog/people things he will flourish. I am W/C accessible and he is not bothered by it at all. He lives with cats without a care. He is current on his vaccines but is not neutered as of yet. He is house broken, crate trained and leash trained. Very polite to people and pets and minds his manners at the vets. I have no problems trimming his nails or brushing him , cleaning his ears or having to do anything to do with health or grooming.
