Story
Available for Adoption, Foster, Rescue Transfer   Name: David Age: 2 years Breed: Great Pyrenees Mix Weight: approx 60 lbs   He Wants to Trust You. He Just Needs Time.   He is very shy… but oh, does he want to be your friend.   This sweet boy absolutely loves people — he just hasn’t quite figured out how to navigate the world yet. He has not been on a leash up to this point in his life, but he is incredibly smart and eager to connect. You can see it in his eyes. He leans in. He tries. He just needs someone who understands that trust isn’t rushed — it’s built.   He is part of the over 100 Great Pyrenees rescued from a local hoarding case and he is now one of only two adult dogs left still waiting for placement.   Imagine surviving that kind of life… and still choosing kindness. That’s him.   He will need: • A patient, calm home • A secure yard • Someone willing to allow slow acclimation • A person who understands shy/undersocialized dogs • Zero pressure — just consistency and kindness   If you can continue his socialization without pushing him beyond his limits… if you understand that progress may come in inches, not miles… if you believe the quiet ones are worth the work…   Please reach out.   He is friendly. He is trying. He just needs someone to finish what rescue started.   Visit our website to fill out the proper application: www.denkaisanctuary.org/adopt ##2651048##

Story
Mae Mae   Mae Mae is one of the gentle souls from our Great Pyrenees hoarding rescue, and she’s still learning that the world can be a safe and kind place. This sweet girl is shy and undersocialized, the kind of dog who won’t rush up to greet you—but if you give her time, patience, and a calm environment, you’ll start to see her quietly blossom.   Mae Mae is currently in foster with her buddy Larry, who helps her feel more confident and secure. Because of that bond, we believe she would do best in a home where Larry can come along too. Having a familiar friend by her side makes a big difference in helping her navigate new situations.   She’s looking for a peaceful home—somewhere she can decompress, feel safe, and build trust at her own pace. No pressure, no expectations—just a soft place to land and someone willing to let her come around in her own time.   If you have a gentle heart, a quiet home, and the patience to let a shy dog grow into herself, Mae Mae (and Larry!) could be the perfect additions to your family. ##2718817##
