Leonberger puppies and dogs in Saint Paul, Minnesota

This beautiful, loving girl is Ella a 3 yr old, 98# female Great Pyrenees (or mix) . She is sweet and loving with people, good with dogs and cats - we haven"t seen her with children, but with her nice temperament we expect she would be good with respectful kids 5 yr and up. Her foster mom works from home, and puts Ella outside at 4-6 hr intervals Ella doesn't ask to go out to do her business. Not a chewer, doesn't initiate barking but might join in if one of the resident dogs bark. Sleeps on the floor in your room, and doesn't go up on the furniture. Loves to ride in the car just lays down until you get to your destination (which she hopes is the dog park, where she can run and play with all the dogs that are there). Ella sits on command, comes when called, and doesn't pull on leash. She is fine being brushed, and isn't shedding much at all. No interest in playing with toys. Not a chewer. Ella is calm, easy going, and eager to please. Puts her head in you lap, or gives you a paw when she needs attention. Ella attaches to her person quickly, and is devoted to them, which is ideal in most situations, but Ella has separation anxiety. Her adoptive home must have another friendly dog, and we recommend Ella bond with that dog before she forms that tight bond with you... we can give you tips on how to do that, and that way Ella wont feel so abandon when you leave the house. Her person should be home much of the time retired, or work from home. This is manageable, and she is doing well in her current foster home. Ella has been spayed, and is current on distemper, rabies, lepto and Bordetella vaccinations. A heartworm test was positive, and she was treated for that in May. A recheck heartworm test will be needed in 6-9 months (October of this year-January of next year) , and Second Chance will cover that cost at your clinic. You are welcome to take/use the large plastic crate she is accustomed to, and return it to Second Chance when you no longer need it. Her microchip is registered to Second Chance. Ella can be adopted for $350 please call 651-771-5662 with questions, or if you would like to adopt her. How To Adopt Ella was listed as ADOPTABLE by Second Chance Animal Rescue How can I adopt Ella?

Meet Moo, a 4-month-old Great Pyrenees/American Staffordshire/Labrador mix with adorable cow-like spots, extra-long legs, and an even bigger heart. At 29 pounds already, this handsome pup is expected to grow into a large adult, and he is looking for a patient family to help him blossom into the amazing dog he is meant to be.Moo is a gentle, affectionate boy who forms strong bonds with the people he loves. Once he gets to know you, he becomes a total cuddle bug who wants nothing more than to be close by. He is wonderfully goofy, a little awkward as he grows into those long legs, and guaranteed to make you smile with his silly antics. He is determined to get onto the bed for snuggles, loves rolling in the grass, and sleeps in the cutest positions imaginable.This smart puppy is already learning quickly. He knows "sit", "down," "shake", "wait" for food, is very food motivated, and is making great progress with potty training. He is also learning that his crate is a safe place and continues to improve with a consistent routine.Moo loves playing with other dogs, patrolling the yard, and enjoys squeaky toys, puppy chews, and squeaky tennis balls. While another dog is not required, he would likely enjoy having a confident canine companion to help show him that new experiences are fun. He has also been respectful and curious with the resident cat in his foster home and could likely live successfully with cats after slow introductions and continued training.Moo is still building confidence with new people and unfamiliar situations, so he is looking for a family that will continue helping him discover that the world is a safe and exciting place. Positive training, socialization, and patience will go a long way with this eager young pup. He is vocal and loves being close to his people, so he would be happiest with someone home often or with a canine companion to keep him company, especially during his first year as he gains confidence. Because he can be vocal, Moo is not a good fit for homes with shared walls. Because he is expected to become a large dog and is still in his playful puppy stage, he is looking for a home with children who are at least 13 years old.With his sweet nature, loyal heart, and eagerness to learn, Moo has everything it takes to become an incredible lifelong companion. If you're ready to help this lovable boy continue growing in confidence while sharing plenty of cuddles along the way, Moo is ready to meet you.If you are interested in Moo, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.

Hey there, I am Gordy aka Gordon (when I’m not listening) and Gordito Crunch (when my foster mama is playing with me)! I am a 5 year old Great Dane/Great Pyrenees mix. That just means I’m extra great of course! I have the Great Dane height and body but a Great Pyrenees head with the Pyrenees shedding.  I was originally surrendered as a puppy due to having special back legs. I was adopted to a wonderful family but returned back to rescue because of my sensitivity to frequent visitors. I get that from the Great Pyrenees side - I feel the need to protect my home and yard.  I love hard and love attention from my humans but don’t enjoy people I don’t know initially when they enter my home. I take my job of protecting the home seriously and need my humans to prove to me that they can control and protect the house so I don’t have to worry about it. I really respect boundaries and expectations that are presented to me by my humans!  I  graduated a 5 week board and train program  in 2023. I have strong obedience skills and am looking for a home who can hold me accountable to those skills. I know how to walk well on leash, the place command, heel, come and all of the other skills I need to be a well mannered boy. I am trained with an eCollar and a prong collar for walking. My future family should be comfortable with those training tools.  I really love to play with toys and other dog friends. I’m a total goofball but have shown resource guarding over food with other dogs. I prefer to eat my food and bones in my kennel or in a separate room from other dogs however, as I get older I am much more relaxed. I am also good with cats though have never lived with one.  I really love my kennel. I will sleep there at night, when my foster parents are gone or when there are visitors at the house. I can also be left out to free roam at night though I prefer to sleep next to my foster parents bed or in the hallway so I can keep a watchful eye on my humans.  Remember how I was surrendered as a puppy due to having special legs? Well, I still have special back legs. I was born with slightly twisted femurs so I walk a bit differently and have arthritis in my back knees. I love to run and play but can be sore after playing all day long so I occasionally take gabapentin to help. I also require daily joint supplements to help my bones stay healthy. I have a pet insurance policy that will be transferred to a potential adopter - they will be expected to continue to keep that in place after adopting me.  Foster Mama Here:Gordy is the bestest boy. We fostered him when he was a puppy as well. We do not let him greet new visitors at our house and require him to stay on his bed in a “place” while visitors are here or in his kennel. He does like to meet people slowly and at a good pace. We would walk his adoptive family through the intro process that he is successful with. Once he knows and trusts you he will forever welcome you as a family member of his.  Gordy has so much potential and loves so hard. But he will require owners who can set strict boundaries in the home and hold him accountable. His breed and genetics make him want to protect his home and people but if you a set boundaries he is such a great listener. We walk him on a prong collar and he is eCollar trained. His adopters will need to commit to continued use of these training tools and also meeting with his board and train trainer to learn about everything he knows. Gordy is muzzle trained. He is great at the groomer! Gordy loves the snow and playing outside. His favorite is his doggy pool in the summer. We have 4 other dogs in our home and he plays with all of them.  Gordy lived with kids in his first home. He was very protective over them so we do not recommend he go to a home with children under the age of 12. He could thrive in the country as he will bark when he sees humans and dogs walking by the home. ##954057##
