Akbash puppies and dogs in Bellingham, Washington

***DOLLY IS NOT IN THE DIRECT CARE OF HAPPY TAILS HAPPY HOMES - We are assisting her current owner in rehoming her at no fault of her own. If you are interested in Dolly, please fill out and application at https://www.happytailshappyhomes.org/adoptionform *** Dolly is a beautiful mixed-breed puppy (Akbash/Mastiff/Lab) with a big heart and an even bigger personality. She is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and deeply devoted to the people she considers “hers.” Once she bonds with you, she is a total love bug who thrives on attention and connection. Dolly is playful and fun-loving—she enjoys playing fetch, being chased, and engaging in interactive play. She is very food-motivated and easily encouraged with treats, which has helped her succeed in multiple rounds of training. She is crate trained, potty trained, and does very well in her kennel while her owner is away, especially since she’s used to a large, comfortable setup where she can move around and relax. She can be wary and easily startled around new people and takes time to warm up, but patience and treats go a long way. Once she feels safe with adults, she becomes affectionate and trusting. Dolly does well with animals and currently lives peacefully with another dog, a cat, and even chickens. She is curious but respectful with other animals. Dolly does best in a calm environment and is not a good fit for homes with young children she doesn’t know. While she is great with her owner’s seven-year-old daughter, unfamiliar small children make her nervous and she may growl or bark when overwhelmed. She would truly thrive in a farm or rural setting with someone who is home most of the day and can give her the reassurance, structure, and companionship she needs. Dolly has experienced some separation anxiety but is improving steadily and continues to make great progress. She is looking for a patient, experienced home that understands guardian-type breeds and can give her the time and love she deserves.

Angel is exactly who her name says she is. Honestly, minus the heavenly harps playing, she walks into every space with a soft, steady peacefulness. The day that we met her we all agreed that she melted away whatever stress we had been carrying. She is 75lbs of chill adoration. She’s estimated to be around 4 years old, weighs 74 lbs, and looks very much like a Great Pyrenees, though rescue rules apply, so her exact breed and birthday are observational and not guaranteed. Go watch Angel in action on YouTube, t’s the best way to see just how naturally she settles into everything around her, then come back to read a bit more about her. https://youtu.be/O1Aix0qu0Tc Angel is currently fostered in a home with two adults, a newborn baby, and three large dogs, and she has been nothing short of a dream. House trained, crate trained, and full of those easy, respectful house manners that make her easy to have… she just gets it. Her foster shares that she’s incredibly smart and has blended into their daily life without a ripple. All four dogs free roam together without issue, and Angel doesn’t even need a crate because she has proven to be so trustworthy in the home. She’s a low-key, go-with-the-flow kind of girl. Not in a hurry, not looking to stir things up, just happy to exist alongside her people and enjoy the moment. She greets new people with a gentle, loving energy and happily accepts all the pets you’re willing to give. With the newborn baby, she has been calm, respectful, and completely appropriate, which speaks volumes about her steady, thoughtful temperament. With other animals, Angel continues to show just how well-rounded she is. She’s done beautifully with both large and small dogs and our house cat.. When introduced to him cat, she gave a polite sniff and then chose to focus on her people instead, keeping a respectful, easy distance. It’s that easy going kind of “live and let live” attitude that’ll make joining a multi-pet home feel simple. Angel would be perfectly happy as a solo dog soaking up all your love, or as part of a pack. A home with a yard would suit her best so she can wander, stretch her legs, and enjoy the world at her own pace. One small note, thunderstorms aren’t her favorite, so a little extra comfort during stormy weather will be needed and go a long way for her. If you are a lover of the breed, or just fell for the floor and the face, here is your chance! No more waiting for that calm, steady, truly good dog who fits into life without asking for much in return… you have found it! Angel is ready and waiting for you! Apply today!

Window-down certified, calm and unbothered by the world around her... this is Sally. She has an easy presence, is happy to be included, never makes a big fuss about it, and somehow still ends up being everyone’s favorite part of the day. Go watch Sally on YouTube then come right back to read more about this sweet, steady girl. https://youtu.be/uh_GrKOtFTs Sally is estimated to be around 5 years old, weighs 75 lbs, and appears to possibly be an Anatolian Shepherd and Great Dane mix. As always with rescue, breed and age are our best guess. What we do know for sure is that she is calm, easygoing, and deeply committed to the simple things in life- a car ride with the windows down, a tasty treat, a little sweet talk, and a soft spot to relax. She is fostered with other dogs and does just fine around them, but Sally is not looking for a booked social calendar. She greets new dogs politely, keeps it short and sweet, and then goes right back to focusing on what really matters... namely peace, comfort, and perhaps a snack. She would be perfectly content as your one and only, but also enjoys the company of easy-going, relaxed dog friends. Inside the home, Sally settles in beautifully. She is quiet, easy company, and has a wonderful sense of her size, which is always appreciated with larger dogs. She feels like the kind of dog who understands how to live with people in a way that is gentle and natural. No chaos, no constant demands, just a lovely steady presence by your side. And if you needed even more proof that she is a gem, Sally recently spent time with a 5-year-old and was an absolute perfect lady. She was gentle taking treats, listened to commands, and calmly held a front row seat for an impromptu three-minute cartwheel routine. Honestly, it was giving proud Grandma vibes and we loved seeing it. Sally would be such a beautiful fit for a home where life moves at a softer pace. A home with kind people, regular visitors who know how to appreciate a good dog, and a rhythm that leans cozy instead of chaotic. She is not here to turn your world upside down. She is here to make it better, calmer, and a little more charming one slow afternoon together at a time. If you are looking for a dog with a gentle spirit, easy manners, and always ready to take shotgun, Sally is your girl.
