Story
Approximate Age: 8 years old Approximate Weight: 56lbs Fancy Pants Francis; This 7ish-year-old boy is known for his overall chill demeanor, but don't be surprised if you catch him doing tornado spins while joyfully tossing his toys in the air because even a refined man such as himself needs to have some fun from time to time. Francis is very friendly with other dogs (and cats!) Francis is currently in search of a nice and quiet home where he can feel comfortable. He is the perfect combination of independence and affection, often finding his way onto your lap for a few minutes of snuggles. It's important to be aware that Francis exhibits protective tendencies. He has bitten people when they have entered his space, so it’s best for him to be crated when guests visit. Outside the home, he is friendly with strangers. Francis thinks he's a canine traffic cop. Cars and bikes that whiz by are a potential menace to his neighborhood. A stern 'Leave it, Francis!' usually brings him back to reality (and his doggy bed). If you are a patient and understanding adopter, Fancy Pants Francis would be thrilled to become a part of your family. He promises to bring joy, snuggles, and plenty of memorable moments to your life.

Story
Meet Yeti Yeti needs a job to do. By job we mean acres and acres of farmland and livestock to protect. He is a baby so you will need to introduce him to the farm life, but he is ready! Yeti is almost 60 pounds at only 4 months old. His father was a 170-pound Anatolian Shepherd, and his Momma was a 120 pounds Great Pyrenees. This will NOT be a small dog by any means. This means more food, larger poops, and more money in vet care. We are looking for a very specific home for Yeti. You must live on land and be familiar with the breed. Yeti is incredibly docile and sweet. He greets everyone with very gentle kisses and love. He gets along great with the other dogs, but does guard his food from other dogs (the boy loves his meals) If you think you are the best fit for our boy, please submit an application. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/66b189c45d6f9afa2c07afb8/68b76b487a7327b37e0ef885
