Story
Freya is young great pyrenes mix that is ready for her forever family. Freya will require an adopter that is prepared to help her manage her mouthy impulses and build her confidence. She is not for a first time adopter and we are requiring experience with high energy breeds for her. She has lots of energy and due to her breed mixes (pyrenes, husky, and german pincher) it will be very important her future family be prepared to have proper outlets for her energy. Due to her mouthy nature and some guarding that has been observed here at the shelter we are requiring children in the home be 16 and up. Freya does well with other dogs but will need a dog that can meet her energy level. If you have another dog in the home a required introduction will need to be completed prior to adoption. Due to her timid nature with new people and situations we are requiring that everyone in the home come and meet Freya. While she may have a few things to work on this sweet girl has wonderful potential and lots of love to give! If you would like to visit or have more questions please speak with our kennel team who will be happy to help you.

Story
Be prepared to have your heart stolen! This big guy is named Bandit and he will steal all your love! Bandit was recently brought into the shelter world when his human person became pregnant. That is sad for them though, because he will likely be a wonderful guardian dog to a family! Bandit has done well with people of all sizes, has met young kids and done well, and has met a cat that he was curious and sweet to. We are recommending that he meet any dogs already in the home before adoption, to make sure everyone can work together. He is what is called a `livestock guardian dog`, so his breed was bred to guard flocks of sheep or other farm animals. His main `goal` in life is to scare off intruders and predators, so his bark can sound a bit big and scary--but it is supposed to! Because of the volume (and the likelihood of him barking at UPS drivers and the like) we are recommending that Bandit live in a single family home to minimize neighbor discomfort. His breed is also know for patrolling and roaming perimeters, so a fenced in back yard is best for him to be happy. Although he has a lot of hair, it is pretty easy to care for. Finding a good brush to use a home, and a good groomer to use throughout the year for deep cleans is recommended. You will also need a good vacuum for the `tumbleweeds`. Specific LGD breed experience would be helpful, but not required. Bandit does need to lose some weight. His current body shape is not a good one to maintain long term, so be prepared to help him lose some weight through diet and exercise. He does also have some damage to his teeth, and some tartar buildup, but he is not the nest candidate for a dental procedure at this time due to weight and age. His new parents will need to be prepared to keep an eye on how things progress, and reach out to our clinic if help is needed. He will be welcome to use the VBSPCA clinic for life! Come and grab this big boy in time to warm you up for the winter!
