History: 🧡 From Texas to Midwest 🤠—- A group of deserving dogs was recently welcomed as part of our Texas Transport Program! A program launched to make an impactful difference for our partner shelters in Texas facing the overpopulation of animals with limited resources and low adoption rates. We are excited to help these southern gems find loving forever homes to call their own!
A Note from the Foster: Chapo may be 80lbs, but he’s actually a big baby lap dog. He loves every friend he meets and in fact gets upset if someone doesn’t come to pet him. He is quite playful and loves to play with his toys and other dogs. His favorite toys are the noisiest ones! Hanging his head out the car window is one of his favorite pastimes, aside from cuddling and attention of course. Structure and rules are new to him and he has a lot to learn, but he does so willingly with the help of deli turkey. Chapo requires (though he deserves it) lots of love and attention. His family should be one willing to spend lots of time with him!
Chapo has a strong prey drive, so no small pets or cats in the home. He is committed to keeping your yard free of any squirrels, rabbits or neighborhood cats! He will need someone confident and firm as he is a typical stubborn Pyrenees. He doesn’t live with children, but has seen them and has acted positively towards them. Due to his young spirit, playful energy and large size, he would do best in a home with a larger dog. He does have a tendency to howl when left alone, so no shared walls will be ideal.
Adoption Fee: $760 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
