Akira is the kind of dog who could ace an IQ test, then celebrate by rolling in the grass with a goofy little grin. One look at her stunning coat and you’ll fall in love, but it's her sweetness and intelligence that will keep you hooked. Born around November 2020, Akira has the kind of brainpower that quietly judges your inability to fold fitted sheets. She's far too smart to fall for your attempt to spell W-A-L-K instead of actually saying the word. But grab the leash and you’ll see her excitement level skyrocket faster than a kid on Halloween night. This girl is a true lover of the outdoors and she's always up for an adventure, even if the adventure is just an enthusiastic lap around the block. When she's not out exploring, Akira knows how to dial it down and be the perfect snuggle buddy. Her favorite kind of evening includes lounging at your feet, soaking up the calm, occasionally nudging you for a well-deserved belly rub. She's perfectly content to lay quietly while you work from home, making her the ideal co‑worker who never hogs the Wi‑Fi. Crate-trained and house-trained, Akira is a good-natured companion who is easy to have around. She absolutely adores people, and greets new friends and visitors to her foster home with warmth and enthusiasm. She's a playful lady and will be happiest in a home with a large dog buddy who appreciates her flair for fun. Akira does prefer her four-legged friends to be large like her, so she’s looking for a home with no cats and no small dogs. She would do well with a semi-active family and a securely fenced yard to run and play. With her playful spirit and affectionate heart, Akira is sure to make a delightful addition to any dog-loving home. If you’re looking for a smart and silly cuddle bug who wants to be part of every adventure—and every lazy Sunday—Akira might just be your perfect match!

Great Pyrenees
A.K.A.: Pyrenean Mountain Dog, Patou, Chien de Montagne des Pyrénées, Pyrenean, Big White Dog, Bear Dog, Gentle Giant, Great Pyr, Pyr
Overview:
The Great Pyrenees is a majestic and ancient breed, originating in the Pyrenean mountains between France and Spain, where they served as formidable livestock guardians. Physically, they are large, powerful dogs, easily recognized by their thick, double coat, typically white (though sometimes marked with badger, grey, or tan), and a distinctive "double dewclaw" on their hind legs. Despite their imposing size, their temperament is generally calm, gentle, and remarkably patient, making them excellent companions. They possess a natural protectiveness, which translates to a watchful eye over their families and property. While loving and tolerant with children, their size and barking tendencies make them less suited for small apartment living; a home with a yard is ideal. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, patellar luxation, and certain eye conditions, emphasizing the importance of responsible breeding. Their independent nature also means they require consistent, positive reinforcement training.
