OWNER SURRENDERS & REHOMing
More Adoptable Dogs
Pyrenees and Akbash don’t fit well into every environment, and sometimes they need a second chance to find their best life! We can’t pull all of these dogs into our sanctuary - so we do our best to support anyone trying to re-train or re-home their pup. This page is for dogs currently in a home, but looking for a new one.

WILMA
Wilma is a good-natured and friendly dog! She loves everyone, regardless of age or gender. This delightful 2-year-old Great Pyrenees mix is incredibly friendly, affectionate, and eager to shower love upon everyone she meets. Betty is a well-behaved girl who walks perfectly on a leash and gets along well with most other dogs and even cats. However, she has a tendency to chase ducks and chickens, so a home without those would be best.
She is ready to go and can be transported anywhere to get to you!

Blanca- Spayed, 2yo Akbash, great working/guard dog, always stays by the livestock, people friendly.
Salt- Spayed, 1yo half Akbash, half Pyrenees, okay guard dog, still a puppy mentality, very people friendly, would be good in a pet home as well.

Veliz
Veliz is an approximate 5yr old, spayed female. She spent most of her life chained up in a moldy windowless room and has been abused. Despite that she is the absolute sweetest dog ever. She loves everyone. She can be a bit needy in her desire for attention. She has some mild leg issue that doesn’t seem to bother her much (I have X-rays, lab work) and needs to gain weight. She walks well on a leash but does have some leash aggression (easily redirected) as this is all foreign to her. Off leash she loves other dogs, kids, cats. She was a champ at the groomer. She’s house broken. She’s more of a lap dog and I don’t think would make a good guardian. She’s just lovely and deserves a wonderful home!! If you are interested or have any questions please call or text Zoe at 425-377-5126.
Marigold
Hi, my name is Marigold! Born February of 2021, I am an almost 3 year old pure breed Karakachan weighing approximately 100 pounds. I am spayed and up to date on all my shots. Unfortunately my owner passed away and with it rehomed my flock. I am looking for a new home possible with a job. From a puppy I have been exposed to and do well with house cats, children, sheep, pigs, and chickens. During my life I have stayed both outside with my flock as well as indoors where I Iive for the snuggles and attention. I am well-mannered (basic obedience) and sweet to the people I trust and love, however, due to my breed and role as a guardian I can be wary and aggressive to strangers and other dogs. I would love to become an indoor pet as I love snuggles and pets. However, I could also probably be trained to be on the job more if you want a LGD. I have had some training but would need more to become fully socialized for an indoor pet role. I am best at being the only dog in the household.
Marigold is currently located near Missoula MT. If you have any questions, want to know more about this sweet girl, or want to see more photos, please call/text Bella at 406-224-5905.
hi-tone
Just about two, Hi-Tone was found running as a stray. He has been at the City of Burley Animal Shelter for over a month now and is looking for his new home!
He is great with all other dogs, loves people, and he’s bit shy off leash. He is a gentle giant with a very mellow attitude. Hi-Tone looks to have traits of a guardian breed and his DNA test is pending to confirm. He has not been neutered yet.
If Hi-Tone is of interest, please reach out!
Finn
Finn was previously adopted as a puppy from outside Unega and was adopted again by a young woman. Now, she can no longer keep a dog his size in her college apartment and needs to find Finn a home!
Finn loves cats and has lived around many. He is neutered and well vetted. He is a sweet guy who gets along well with most other dogs.
If Finn is of interest, please reach out!
deku
Deku is an approximately two year old possible Anatolian mix. He loves a good tennis ball and is a hunk of a guy. He is neutered, chipped, and up to date on his vaccines.
He is currently the longest resident of Walla Walla’s Blue Mountain Humane Society at 223 days !!
Deku needs a home and is ready to take on the world by your side; hiking, jogging, on the couch.
Make an appointment to meet Deku at 509-525-2452
Ogie
Ogie is a 14 month old neutered male. Although not documented, he is believed to be a purebred Great Pyrenees. He is a well cared for dog, is microchipped, and up to date on all shots and flea/tick prevention. He is currently weighing in at a healthy 85-90 pounds and is still a growing boy. He has no known health issues and sees a vet regularly for check-ups. His back double dew-claws were also removed. All of his health and microchip documentation can be provided.
He has a big pyrenees personality and loves spending time with his humans and animals. He loves being outside in a properly fenced area, but also loves to be nestled on the couch with you in the evening for belly rubs or to be brushed. He has received training for walking on a leader using positive pressure cues, wearing a muzzle, and human/dog meet-and-greets. All of his training equipment, special toys, brushes, food bowl, and a bag of his current dog food will be provided.
He is a quick learner and is so smart, but he ultimately decides if he wants to listen to your command or not. He is absolutely food motivated and has the gentlest mouth to take treats from your hand. Ogie is a sweet boy with a few Pyrenees qualities to be mindful of. He does not meet new dogs very well and is protective of his property and family. He would love a home where he can patrol his property and have a few close dogs or cats he can slowly and gently get to know and to bond with, as he also loves playing when he meets a dog or cat he likes.
Ogie is currently located in the Magic Valley. If you have any questions, want to see more photos of him, or want to know more about this sweet boy, please call or text me at 208-600-5556.
APPA
Appa is a Great Pyrenees. He is about 3 years old. Appa wasn’t treated well in his early life and his current family took him in to get him out of a bad situation and nurse him back to health. He is doing much better now and on the search for his forever family! He is a handsome boy and has a calm, low energy and affectionate nature.
Located in SE Connecticut, but transport may be available. Please contact 860-304-3120 with questions/interest in Appa!
Bones
This is Bones. He is a Great Pyrenees mix. He is 12 months old and through no fault of his own is looking for a home. He is good with cats kids and other dogs. He is a little nervous about meeting new people and doing new activities. Having a fenced yard is a must and it needs to be over 4 ft as he can jump them. He would prefer to sleep in bed with you and doesn’t know what a crate is. We have started crate training with him as he has no house. He has had his puppy shots and will be fully updated before going to his new home. Once he is comfortable in his environment he is pretty laid back and a sweetheart.
Berk
Berk is a 2.5 year old neutered purebred Kangal. He is gorgeous, athletic, agile, big (100 lbs!), and a lovely mover—he floats. Berk is excellent with humans; both adults and children. He loves time with people and has done well with border collies and a mini dachshund. He’s great on a leash, comes when called, and is very food motivated. He has a very soft mouth and is gentle when taking treats and does pills well.
Berk can also be great at getting out. Where he is staying currently has covered and underground dog fencing. But ideally an owner would have 6-foot fences, especially if he can see traffic, people, other dogs, etc. Adequate fencing is important for this guy and he would thrive in rural areas.
Because of Berk’s history and his tendency to play with stock, Berk would thrive under an only dog household and as a house dog himself. He would love to protect and guard his yard and be loved on with lots of attention, but no work-work for this big guy. He is easily trainable, and is ready to live out his best life in a new home!
If Berk is of interest, please reach out!
