We hope to see you there!* Meet Darcy & Molly – A Beautiful Bonded Pair Ready to Complete Your Family After nearly a year in rescue, we are still searching for the perfect home for Darcy and Molly, two sweet, senior girls with hearts as big as their combined fluff. These lifelong best friends are inseparable, and we’re looking for a family who’s ready to open their heart to both. About Darcy & Molly Darcy is a gentle Great Pyrenees, and Molly is a lively Border Collie mix. At 10 years old, they may be considered seniors, but Molly still thinks she’s a pup — zooming around the yard and tossing toys with joy. Darcy, true to her breed, is calm, nurturing, and incredibly loving. Together, they balance each other out perfectly. They’ve lived together their entire lives and rely on one another for comfort and companionship. We will only adopt them as a pair. Their Foster Life They currently live with both a small and a large dog and get along beautifully. Molly especially enjoys playtime with the smaller dog and is full of joyful energy. Both girls LOVE the snow — it’s like watching puppies romp for the first time! They’ve shown mild interest but no aggression toward cats and co-exist peacefully with chickens. Their Personalities Molly is smart, active, and loves mental and physical enrichment. Daily walks, puzzle toys, or games of fetch are her jam. She has all the classic Border Collie intelligence and drive — she needs someone who appreciates and engages that! Darcy is the soul of serenity. She’s affectionate, steady, and thrives on gentle companionship. She’s your classic couch-loving, people-snuggling senior girl. Darcy’s Special Needs Darcy does have age-related arthritis and degenerative disc disease. Her foster family has worked closely with our vet to get her comfortable on a medication routine that includes Galliprant and Gabapentin, along with monthly Librela injections. She’s doing much better now but may have occasional flare-ups. She uses a sling during tough days and needs a home without stairs or with very minimal steps. Despite her mobility issues, she enjoys short walks and being outside — especially when there’s snow on the ground! We believe in giving our senior dogs the best quality of life, and her foster mom has done an incredible job keeping her comfortable, happy, and loved. Grooming & Care Both girls have been professionally groomed and do best with regular daily brushing — something they both enjoy. It’s also a great way to bond with them! We know adopting two senior dogs isn’t a small decision — but we also know it’s one of the most meaningful. Darcy and Molly have so much love left to give, and they deserve a soft landing together with someone who sees their beauty, age and all. Could that be you? If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this incredible duo, please reach out to us. Darcy and Molly have so much love to give and are eager to start the next chapter of their lives together—with you.

Breed overview
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.
