Story
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!

Story
Hi, I'm Puma,I sure hope you are looking for a great young dog to help make your home complete. If that is so, then stop looking, you found her. I am pretty shy when I first meet new people but all I need is a bit of attention to build my confidence and I will shine. I don't live with children but I have been around them and I know to just stay calm and relax. I like dogs in my pack and I will play but I would prefer to chill out and relax. I am what you might call laid-back!When my foster family takes me out for a walk I stick pretty close to them because there are a lot of street dogs and they scare me a bit. It is much better when I walk with my pack. I don't have many toys but give me a nice marrow bone and I will be busy all day! Cats are not my thing, unless they like to be chased then I am all in.Oh did I mention that I love to swim? It is the best thing when we go to the beach and I get to play in the water. I'm in heaven then. The car ride there makes me a bit nervous so I don't look out the window or anything. I just wait until we are at the beach then I am fine.I am pretty good with my basic commands like Sit, Come and of course, come eat! I know I still have lots to learn but I hope my new family will be ready to teach me how to be the best dog I can be. If it sounds like we could be a match then fill in the application and we can meet on a Zoom call.I am all yours,Puma To get more information go to https://hope4lapawz.org/adopt and click on the dog's photo. There you will see any videos, more photos and details.

Story
George will be three years old in July. I got him at 8 weeks old. Now he is around 120 lbs. We did puppy training classes when I first got him but around the 10th week of classes he started to become aggressive towards other dogs. The trainers told me to neuter him as soon as possible so I did but it did not change his behavior. I then sent him to a three week boarding/training facility and they recommend a shock collar. It helped for a short period of time. I think George is over stimulated living in the city and needs a different environment. I only have a fenced front yard so he is constantly upset at everyone who walks by. He can be so sweet and cuddly at times but he is mostly always on guard ready to protect. I am devastated to be rehoming him but I keep reminding myself it is the best thing I can do for George at this point.
