ADOPTABLE UNEGA DOGS
These pups are living with the Unega pack or paired with a foster. They are all adoptable and looking for their forever homes!
Interested in adopting or fostering? Fill out our adopt/foster form! If you have questions, contact us!
As a small nonprofit with limited resources, we’re tied to our mission: rescuing the abandoned and abused working dogs that otherwise would never even see a home or shelter. That said, we do our best to provide education and opportunity for owners currently looking to manage or re-home their Pyrenees/Akbash.
If you’re interested in adopting, please consider the dogs on our owner rehoming page as well!

ABOUT ELLIOT
Mr. Elliot here is roughly 10 months old and just a good ol’ boy. With his time here, we have worked closely on leash training. He does remarkably well on a leash, in the car, and is beginning to really grasp commands to his name. He enjoys his time in nature; climbing up rocky hills, and traversing the waters of creeks and ponds. He has his moments of pure puppy energy, so he really does appreciate an extra walk here and there, as well as plenty of toy time! And after his workouts, he prefers a good cuddle-wrapping his paws around you like the sweet boy he is.
It was said Elliot displayed resource guarding, but since being here we have not seen this behavior and believe he would do well with the right fit. And he has spent the last couple months amongst a myriad of dogs; including other Great Pyrs and even chihuahuas.
He’s ready to adventure with you!
Please reach out if you are interested in fostering or adopting Elliot today.
HOPE & DAKOTA
QUICK FACTS
AGE: 2-3 YEARS

BREED: GREAT PYRENEES/AKBASH
GOOD WITH KIDS: YES
HOBBIES: CHASING BIRDS, FLIPPING TOYS, AND CATCHING MICE
ABOUT HOPE & DAKOTA
Hope and Dakota came to us from two separate situations. Roughly 2-3 year old Hope was surrendered by a rancher in Utah after a couple years of harsh conditions and an unknown amount of litters. We were able to get her to Unega, and around the same time we moved Mr. Dakota into the same section with her.
Dakota came from the Buhl farm with Lalaei and Cal. Dakota is around a year and a half old and was the first of his group to allow us to pet him. He has really grown since arriving here at Unega, and with Hope they are truly a remarkable pair.
Hope and Dakota have made incredible strides together over the past couple months. They run and play together. Shred toys and love treats. Dakota is a very silly boy and isn’t so much into his guardian behaviors as Hope is. He loves a good pet in time, and has a very calm, curious demeanor about him. Hope is slower to be open to touch, and we are working with them both daily to socialize them to what it means to be loved and cared for properly.
These two have bonded deeply and we would love for them to stay together!
We would love to hear from you if you believe this pair would be a great fit in your life.
lalaei & Cal
QUICK FACTS
AGE: LALAEI 5/6 YEARS CAL 2 YEARS
GENDER: FEMALE & MALE BONDED PAIR
BREED: GREAT PYRENEES/AKBASH
GOOD WITH KIDS: YES
HOBBIES: SNUGGLING, RUNNING, COZY NAPS,
ABOUT LALAEI & CAL
Lalaei and Cal have been on quite the journey together since rescuing them from Buhl. Lalaei, 5-6 years old, was pregnant when we trapped her. And we believe Cal, 1.5-2 years old, to be hers from a previous litter. As we got both her and Cal safely back to Unega, they soon escaped and were gone for over 10 days. Nicole was able to trap them and we got them safely back.
These two are quite the pair and have come a long way since leaving their traumatic and horrific lives. Lalaei carried to term, nursed them well, and we have now adopted out her five pups! She is very sweet, calm, and protective-she will hover over Cal-and she love LOVES treats.
Cal was very slow to opening up, he kept to himself, and was unsure what treats and attention were. He was cautious, and then curious, and now while he still keeps his distance, we have watched him blossom. He rolls on the grass and throws his toys around. He now loves treats and gets real up close when you have some. He is coming closer to more frequent touch each time we visit him.
We are earning both Both Lalaei and Cal’s trust everyday, yet they are still learning what loving, human touch means. They are not quite ready to go yet, but they sure will be happy to have a home when it is time!
Please reach out if these two are of interest.
MILLIE & RANGER

ABOUT MILLIE & RANGER
Oh Millie and Ranger! Such a bonded and resilient pair. We have had them at the rescue for over 5 months and they are SO ready to have a loving and patient home. They are both around two years old, and have grown with great strides since arriving here.
Millie is shy, a goof with the softest belly, and when she shows you love; boy oh boy is she so warmhearted and tender. She was tossed from a van, and we were able to get her to us. Timid at first, we watch her, as she protects Ranger and their section; flushing birds and securing their area. She runs with toys and has Ranger chase her, the mud splashing her face. And if she gets scared, she lays beside Ranger: safe, secure, loved by more than anything she has known.
Now Mr. Ranger…he is total love bug. After getting word of a working dog with a twisted foot, we stepped into action and got him to the rescue safely. As a pup, he was most likely injured and the bones fused; now as a strong two-year old, he is not phased by his injury. He grew up with it and does anything and everything he wants. He jumps in the air like no other, flips toys to no end, and always…ALWAYS appreciates a dedicated belly rub and leg massage.
Together, they are the most amazing duo. They go to each other for comfort, warmth, guidance. They play together all day, no weather can keep them back. And when they sleep, it is often cheek to cheek; as ONE. They are their own protectors. They are whole after lives of unknown abuse, conditions, and never knowing love.
If Millie & Ranger speak to you, please reach out. They are ready for their home. They really are.
