VALOREE - RETRIEVER / GREAT PYRENEES / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Retriever / Great Pyrenees / Mixed. Meet Valoree Val came from a property with many dogs, so they didn't necessarily receive a ton of one-on-one human interaction early in life; however all of the dogs on the property (who are now ALL fixed), are well-natured dogs. Valoree is about 6 months old (born 11/28/24) - best guess, no guarantee is that these dogs are Shepherd/Retriever/LGD (livestock guardian dogs-like Great Pyrenees). They are currently ~50lbs, so these kids are likely going to be large to xlarge adult dogs. Val is a happy healthy puppy. Loves to play chase and keep away. Doing a good job of chewing on toys and not the house - although since she's still a puppy, she should be crated when left alone. Loves to be inside and sleep on pillows. Loves to eat, always hungry. Very kissy, docile, and submissive. Loves to be pet. Leash training is going slowly, but she's also very smart. She's also still afraid of neighborhood noises, and may make a big woof, but she's progressing more every week! Similar to most of her siblings, Valoree relies heavily on following what other dogs in her foster home are doing and behaving - therefore we feel she would progress best being adopted into a home with another resident dog. Cat intro pending, but Val's siblings have gone to home with felines, and apart from basic training have shown to be able to live with cats as well. Although she is still quite nervous around people, respectful dog savvy kids would be fine. We'd cautiously say Val is also potty trained!-as with any rescue dog (or any dog for that matter), she may need a refresher course for a few days once she is in her new environment. Valoree is spayed, up-to-date on core vaccines, dewormed, heartworm tested negative, current on flea/tick/heartworm preventative, and is microchipped! ____________________________________________________________________ **If you are interested, YOU NEED TO APPLY.
