Description
Dog Breed: Anatolian Shepherd. Meet Winnie, a sweet 10-year-old Shepherd/Pyrenees mix weighing about 70 pounds. This gentle senior girl loves her people and her dog friends and is happiest when she has a cozy place to lounge and a yard to explore. Winnie is house-trained, well behaved, and wonderfully independent. She enjoys greeting visitors, making friends with whoever is cooking dinner, and spending time with her canine companions. She is also great with kids and has a calm, curious nature. With her livestock guardian background, Winnie would love a home with a yard where she can leisurely explore and enjoy her golden years. A fenced yard is preferred, but Winnie does not require one. Without a fence, she will need twice daily walks along with frequent daily potty breaks. Winnie has arthritis in her back and takes daily medication to help keep her comfortable. She isn't a fan of taking her meds, but her foster has discovered that hiding them in something yummy does the trick! Winnie does not need a ton of exercise and is happiest spending her days relaxing near her favorite people. She would do best in a one-level home where she can comfortably get around as she ages. Winnie is looking for a loving home where she can spend her senior years surrounded by people and animal friends. If you're looking for a loyal, gentle companion who loves attention, cozy spots, and a little time to explore, Winnie may be your girl! If you are interested in Winnie, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - pethavenmn/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee is $250. Adoption fee includes heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

Overview:
The Anatolian Shepherd, an ancient and noble breed, hails from the rugged plains of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), where they served as formidable guardians of livestock for thousands of years. These impressive dogs are renowned for their substantial size, typically weighing between 80-150 pounds and standing 27-29 inches tall, boasting a dense double coat that can range in color but is often fawn with a black mask. Their independent and intelligent nature makes them exceptional working dogs, displaying a strong protective instinct balanced with a calm demeanor. While fiercely loyal to their families, their guardian roots mean they are not ideal for apartment living; they thrive in homes with ample space and a job to do, making them unsuitable for inexperienced owners. With proper socialization and training, they can be wonderful companions, though their watchful nature means they often bond more closely with one or two family members. Generally a robust breed, potential health concerns include hip and elbow dysplasia, and bloat.
