Story
Meet Cookies N Cream: Your Gentle, Giant Lap Dog in Training! Don’t let his future big-dog size fool you—Cookies N Cream is a soft, gentle soul at heart! At 3 months old, this handsome Anatolian Shepherd mix is a calm follower who relies on his favorite humans for guidance and comfort. He’s a little shy at first and likes to take his time warming up, but once he knows you’re his person, he is all in! Why You’ll Fall for Cookies N Cream: Nature Lover: He absolutely thrives on walks in the woods with his foster mom, sticking right by her side like a loyal shadow. Mellow & Well-Behaved: Unusually polite for a 3-month-old, he isn't much of a chewer at all! Zero Personal Space (The Best Kind): He genuinely thinks he’s a lap dog and will sit directly on top of you to make sure he’s as close as humanly possible. If you’re looking for a loyal, quiet outdoor companion who turns into an affectionate cuddle bug the moment you sit down, Cookies N Cream is your boy!August 12, 2026, 9:29 am

Story
Meet Lyla Garrity!   At 6.5 months old and already a solid 53 lbs, this gorgeous Pyrenees mix is going to be an absolute stunner when she's fully grown — and she knows it.   Lyla is a social butterfly through and through. In her foster home, she's shown she can read a room: she's respectful and gentle with the senior dog, and turns into the perfect playmate for the younger, goofier dogs who want to zoom around. She also adores people of all kinds and will happily soak up attention from anyone willing to give it.   Housetraining is nearly there — she does great with a consistent schedule and just needs a family willing to keep that routine going. At night, she settles into her crate like a champ, with just a few minutes of whining before she's fast asleep.   Like a true Great Pyrenees, Lyla has a big voice and a strong sense of duty when it comes to her yard — she's naturally watchful and protective, and will let you know if something (or someone) catches her attention. That guardian instinct means she'll do best with a family who understands the breed and can help her channel it appropriately.   She hasn't had much exposure to cats yet, so her feline compatibility is still a bit of a mystery — a slow, careful introduction would be the way to go if you have kitties at home.   Interested in meeting Lyla? Reach out to learn more about bringing her home!August 12, 2026, 9:29 am

Story
Mater is a sweet guy who has very typical breed traits from his Great Pyrenees/Aussie Shepherd mix. Since a new home will be a big change for him and we want to be sure he settles and shows his family his best self we would recommend fostering to adopt for Mater. Mater came to his foster home after almost two years of being bounced around between various homes and boarding. He has also always used his size to get his way. In the past year we have worked with a professional trainer, established a routine and gotten Mater on medication to manage his anxiety (Fluoxetine). All of this has helped Mater be his best self. Mater also has some backup trazodone that he takes when foster mom knows his anxiety will be higher due to storms or fireworks. In his foster home Mater has learned that humans are in charge and he doesn't need to be the leader, sit and wait to be released for meals, how to relax and stay in place, that furniture is invitation only, and is working on re-crate training to learn crate is a safe space not punishment. Mater lives with two female dogs, a 45lb dominant female and a 75lb submissive female. He also does fine with my sister's 45lb male dog when they come to visit. Mater does sometimes resource guard toys. So, when my dominant female and Mater are together toys are put away. Other times he loves to play with toys and my submissive dog defers to his toy preferences so they play with toys well together. Mater does not like small dogs (under 15lbs) or cats. I also recently had a 27lb male puppy foster who caused Mater's anxiety to go through the roof. I think it was because this foster had no fear of Mater. He would literally run under Mater if Mater was in his way. Mater has done well when my sister has come over but does bark loudly at new people at first. He has done okay meeting people on a leash at adoption events. However, we would not recommend Mater be in a busy household with lots of visitors due to his anxiety Mater has made incredible strides in his foster home and is looking for his best fit family who will continue to support his progress. He is waiting for his perfect forever family to find him!March 7, 2026, 3:29 pm
