Leonberger puppies and dogs in Bellingham, Washington

Do you want a “valid” reason to cancel plans and stay home? Alfie is that reason. He is here to add to and help you protect your peace Alfie is a big fluffy cloud of a happy boy, the kind of dog who will genuinely make you question how much you “need” to go out. He’s got that Great Pyrenees-ish “everything is chill” energy, and a heavenly soft, snuggly presence. Want to see this gentle giant in action? Watch his YouTube video, then come back and tell us you didn’t fall a little in love. https://youtu.be/a9FKHE2_zdo Though we can’t guarantee age or breed with a rescue, we estimate Alfie is around 4 years old, weighs 87 lbs, and all signs point to a Great Pyrenees mix. And honestly, the guardian dog vibe is strong with this one, low energy, level-headed, and impressively unfazed. Alfie is so fortunate and is fostered in a loving home while he waits for his adoption day and let me tell you- he is definitely foster approved! He is both house and crate trained! And despite his size he doesn’t mind the crate at all. Serious heart-eyes bonus- Alfie is snuggly and cuddly and his foster just adores it! Though we cannot say he is truly a pyrenees, the breed is typically not the most physically affectionate so the rare ones that are become deeply cherished, On leash, Alfie walks with ease and is very responsive to gentle corrections. The best part is his pace, he keeps it to a cruising speed which genuinely only adds to the sense of peace he brings to life- think, slow-down-and-enjoy-this. He also is great in the car and can even load up all on his own. What an impressive boy! Alfie lives with 4 other dogs in his foster home and his foster describes him as playful but definitely more “friendly and social” than “party-starter.” When he meets new dogs, he is inviting, confident and calm. Such a well-mannered boy! And when it comes to the wild and crazy chaos loving dogs, Alfie is unbothered. We have watched him politely meet a wild one then gently walk away and sniff. His warm welcome and unbothered nature was seen just the same when he met a little dog and our house cat. Our house cat came in with big confident energy, approached quickly, and Alfie stayed respectful, aware of his own size, and let the cat roam around unbothered. Truly gold-star manners. Quick Alfie highlights: * House trained and foster-approved as an easy home companion * Great with other dogs, especially with calm, respectful intros * Calm + unfazed in new situations (classic guardian-dog steadiness) * Crate-friendly and patient * Cat respectful and gentle with smaller animals * Low energy and content to just… exist happily near you Because of his size, we wouldn’t recommend an apartment, but temperament-wise he’s calm and quiet enough to fit into a lot of living situations with proper structure, daily walks, and a home that will truly appreciate this dreamy, giant, fluffy bestie! If you’re looking for a snuggly, cloud-like- companion with peaceful energy and excellent manners, Alfie is undoubtedly your dream dog. Apply today!
