ther boys anymore, so keep them away from me. You look like you run around the French Alps. What breed are you? - I'm a full-blooded Great Pyrenees, and I exhibit classic Pyr behavior. My ancestors were mountain dogs, and guarded livestock. You look pretty massive. How old are you? - They say I'm 3-5 years old, so you could say I'm in my prime. You think I'm massive? I am not really that big, just SUPER FLUFFY. I am about 100 lbs. .Check me out in person. What's your educational background? - I come from the School of Hard Knocks. I can do basic commands, but I'm still a bit stubborn to learn new behaviors. What can I say? My ancestors didn't win any awards for being obedient. However, I'm very treat motivated. Any work experience? - I think of myself as the Guardian of the Galaxy. I consider the UPS delivery van as the biggest threat to mankind, and will charge up and down the house or outdoors to protect my loved ones. I'm also a veteran sleep-specialist, and will collapse onto the floor with a deep sigh, to nap for hours on end. What are your strengths? - I zoom to my crate excitedly during bedtime, and I also love cuddling with everyone, without playing favorites. You can say that I'm a quintessential crowd-pleaser as I'm as comfortable alone as I am with a big group of people. I also love to hike, and I'm working on my leash manners. Any weaknesses? - I slobber a lot, I shed a lot, and I'm still learning not to keep my mouth open when jumping/roughhousing. I will bark, ear piercingly loud, but don't be alarmed as I'm only trying to neutralize threats. I'm also a little protective of my body, but I'm learning that no one is trying to hurt me. Where do you see yourself in five years? - Five years of living with my forever home, ideally in a relaxed rural setting, with enough freedom to be independent, and a loving family to protect, play with, and snuggle with. What makes you stand out as an ideal adoption candidate? - I'm very loyal, protective, calm, and huggable. My breed was designated as the 'Royal Dog of France', so I'm practically royalty. Adopt me today! This tall handsome boy is Dakota. He is full-blooded Pyr and our vet said he is 3-5 years old. He is comfortable with female dogs. Male dogs put him on the defensive.He has been good at doggie daycare. Dakota seems fine with dog savy cats but will chase them on occassion. He is really sweet one-on-one with people, He is very snuggly and loves to be petted. He really enjoys the outdoors. Dakota is crate trained and will hop into the car. Please go to our website at .whiteriveranimalrescue to fill out an application online. We will contact you for an interview once we have reviewed it. Our adoption fee is $500.00 and our minimum age for adopting is 28. To adopt a puppy under 5 months you must be able to be home with them or take them to work with you.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
