No need to search for lost sheep—Little Bo Peep is ready to find her forever family! This beautiful Great Pyrenees girl came to us from a rural shelter and has quickly won over everyone she meets with her sweet personality and gentle nature. Little Bo Peep loves people of all ages and is wonderful with kids. She's also great with other dogs and enjoys making new friends wherever she goes. If you happen to have a treat in your pocket, you'll become her favorite person instantly! This smart girl already knows how to sit politely and is always happy to show off her manners for a tasty reward. One of her favorite things is leaning against her people for affection. Whether you're giving side rubs, ear scratches, or simply spending time together, Little Bo Peep is happiest when she's close to those she loves. Her gentle, loving nature and calm companionship make her a joy to be around. If you're looking for a loyal best friend with beauty, brains, and a heart as big as her fluffy Pyrenees coat, Little Bo Peep may be the perfect addition to your flock.

Story
Shrek is a great name for me! I am kind of a sweet OGRE looking boy with a loving heart and kind of beat up body. It is HARD to live on the streets! I had an old injury so limping was my norm. It was discovered that my back leg had been broken and healed very wonky. Now my bad leg is gone and I am pain free! NOW, I am a healthy TRIPOD boy looking for just the right family...one who will care for me for all my days! I deserve it and you deserve this cute OGRE in your life too!

Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! NOT!! I am a snuggle bug looking for tummy scratches....I willl MELT for one!! Here is what one of our amazing fosters have to say about Dakota...."Super freaking sweet, loves loves belly rubs, is very strong when you walk him but listens well. VERY treat motivated and knows sit down paw and i just taught him roll over yesterday but its a work in progress 😝. Super playful, he will pounce around you and then roll over for belly rubs and absolutely melts for the belly rubs and kisses" I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
