Story
Meet Poplar aka girly-pop! We don't know exactly what her breed mix is, but our current guesses include Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees. What we DO know is that she is a big baby and will likely grow into a 100+ lb dog, so she will need a home with plenty of space to roam around. If you're interested in Poplar, start reading up on these breeds' very interesting personality traits and needs to make sure it would be a good fit for your home! Poplar is currently quite affectionate, sweet, gentle, observant, and cautious. She seems fit to be more of a family dog than a working dog, though she does LOVE roaming around the yard “pawtroling” so it would be great if she had a big yard or land to roam around on. Being an extra-large breed and being a girly on the shy side, she will need someone patient to continue to bring her out of her shell and teach her appropriate manners, given her size. Someone experienced with large breeds, and someone who can commit to training with positive reinforcement only, is necessary. Having a confident, gentle doggy companion would also be a plus, but not required. She’s taken quite a few cues from her foster brother already, and I think it’s been very helpful, but she prefers the affection of humans, so she’d be okay without one. She’s very calm, doesn’t need much exercise, has potential hip dysplasia which might be contributing to her lower energy. She loves walking around the yard and will gallop around, she’s just not high energy. She will walk alongside you on a leash, but is easily spooked by loud noises, so somewhere more rural would be preferred. She’s been doing well with crate training and potty training so far but still needs consistency to avoid separation anxiety.

Story
Nana is a sweet, gentle giant with so much love to give. She is intelligent and curious and loves to collect toys and bones, run with the other dogs, and explore outside. After a high-energy and busy morning, she likes long naps during the day. Since she may be a mix of Anatolian Shepherd and Great Pyrenees (just our best guesses), someone familiar with large breed dogs and their quirks would be preferred. She would love to have a big dog sibling and older children to play with. While she is sweet and gentle, really small children may not be best because she loves to use her giant paws to get attention (“Pyr paw”—if you know, you know). Nana is almost 100% potty trained, sleeps through the night, walks well on a leash, and knows basic commands like “sit.” She just wants to play and give love and will make an amazing family dog!
