Akbash puppies and dogs in Newcastle, Washington

Nearly 5 years old. Get along well with cats and other dogs. I love going for walks, keeping you company when you do outside projects, and having car rides. My owner just had major medical surgery and is no longer able to care for a dog of my size. I am a little over 100 pounds and my owners tell me I do not know my own size. For this reason, prefer a home with children who have experience living with large dogs. A fully fenced yard is also a must in order to keep me from wandering. I was supposed to be a working livestock guardian dog but soon after I got here, the older dog who was going to be my teacher, died. They tried to teach me how to do my job but we kept misunderstanding one another. Rather than continue down this path, they decided to make me a family dog so I would not inadvertently hurt the sheep and chickens. I would love to be a guardian though so if you happen to have an older dog to help teach me the ropes, please consider me! I still have lots of years to work!

Aberdeen Scottish Terrier Rescue is a registered 501(c)3 Web Site: www.aberdeenstr.com ***MUST SUBMIT APPLICATION before we will respond to email or phone inquiries. Thank You for your cooperation*** Please read listings fully to the end before applying for one of our beloved rescues. WE ARE NOT A SHELTER; WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER RESCUE WITH FULL-TIME JOBS. Please do not contact us to look at a dog. We will contact you once we have reviewed your completed application if we think your home might be a good fit. A reference check, phone interview, and home visit will be completed before meeting an adoptable dog. We work quickly. Please do not submit an application until you are ready to bring a new furry family member home. Expect your references to be contacted shortly after submitting your application. We adopt out to homes in WA state, but require that you are present for the meet and greet in Newcastle, WA. Our adoption fee is non-negotiable. The adoption fee is due on the day of adoption in the form of a check, Zelle, or cash. We no longer accept PayPal because of the percentage they take & their fees but if the potential adopter wants to pay the fees we will accept PayPal. Another very sad story. We got a call regarding a dog who needed help & they wanted to surrender this boy Rambo due to nothing he did wrong. As it happens the lady was calling because her nephew had bought this boy as a tiny puppy from someone here in WA state in Olympia & he had siblings too. We don’t know what come of the siblings. He had abandoned this innocent boy with his aunt & wasn’t coming back for him & let her know that. We organized for Rambo to be surrendered to the rescue & it was very clear that Rambo had been extremely well taken care of by the aunt but, she had not signed up for a dog let alone a Great Pyrenees puppy & had a very busy job & he was being left alone all the time. Let’s face it, this boy was no longer the tiny puppy, but he had turned into a massive beautiful boy at 7 months of age & was still growing. Rambo is a major sweetheart, this boy is nothing but love & wants to be with people & loves their companionship. We have also discovered he likes dogs company & enjoys going on walks & is a good walker. He is very affectionate to & is very loyal to his people. He actually cried when the aunt left him & we ended up crying with his broken heart. Rambo is such a great eater & is not shy about eating & has not been since the day we got him & he has put on more weight in the rescue. He does know how to walk on his harness & leash & has been taught to walk on a slip lead. Rambo rides in the car well & considering the only times we know of was when he was surrendered to us & going to & from the vets. We are looking for a crate free home for this little lad only. We are looking for a crate free home for this boy, there is no need for him to spend his time in a crate. We are also looking for a forever home for Rambo where someone is home during the day or he can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them. When they find someone who treats them as they should be treated & loves them they get so attached to them. Rambo is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be patient with him & never give up on him. Rambo has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes. Rambo could be an only dog but does well with other dogs & enjoys their company. A fully fenced yard is mandatory for his new forever home. Rambo is roughly 55.8 lbs & he is ‭7 months old & a Great Pyrenees‬. What he is mixed with we are not sure, male, he is neutered by laser by our wonderful vets, he is microchipped, received all of his shots, including DHLPP, Bordatella, rabies & dewormed. Rambo has not been around cats since being in the rescue, but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together & we have had her around small children & he has done amazing but we do do not recommend small children nor cats though & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & cats. We were not there when Rambo was conceived so we do not know who his parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think his breed is. As with all of our rescues & Rambo’s friends & siblings he will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Rambo potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Rambo & going through our process and have read his listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on. Or you waste this rescues time, will remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit via WebEx or Zoom due to covid & followed by a meet & greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Rambo who understands his needs & that meet all the requirements for the special sweet little chap. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately. Rambo has an adoption fee of $995 & is ready for his truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what he has been through.
