EVIE
Evie is a female Pyrenees mix who is about a year old. She was found wandering around loose with her collar embedded in her neck so severe that she needed surgery to have it removed.
She has been spayed, has had all of her shots and is a healthy girl.
Evie is cuddly, loving and sweet. She likes to wrap paws around your legs in a show of affection.
This pretty girl would love to have a permanent family of her own to care for and to love.

BAILEY
is a sweet soul who likes to be right at a trusted human’s hip. When you sit near her, she will gently paw you for pets and hypnotize you with her big puppy dog eyes. She will protect and guard for those she loves (She is a Great Pyrenees after all!)
Bailey is an escape artist and can fit through small spaces (we’ve personally witnessed this). Please consider this (and a well-built fence!) when thinking about adopting Bailey.
Bailey was returned to us because of supposed urinary incontinence issues. She was examined by a vet for this problem and nothing conclusive was found. This may just be a behavior problem that we are working to address. She may do best in a home with little to no carpeting.
Please reach out if you have any questions about our sweet Bailey girl!

PADDINGTON
Paddington is the cutest! Who could resist that face and all that soft fluffy fur. He is available for adoption, foster, or rescue.
With that said, Paddington is getting more and more sad the longer he is at the shelter. You can see in the pictures I’ve included one set from a couple weeks ago out in the play yard and some from today’s walk. To me he is clearly happier a couple weeks ago. Today he reminded me of Eeyore. He is a pretty perfect pup, I’m not sure why he’s being overlooked. He is big but gentle. He has lots of fur and needs a bit of grooming but he doesn’t seem to shed more than any other dog and I imagine with a regular brushing his coat would be easily maintained. Paddington takes treats nicely, gentle on leash and adorable. What else can you ask for!?
Please consider adopting Paddington 
Open 12-5 Tuesday thru Sunday

CHLOE
Chloe is a very sweet and loving Great Pyrenees German Shepherd mix. She was brought into our home as a puppy, was raised with one other large dog, young child, and cat. She is amazing with children, and for five years got along well with our other dog despite displaying resource guarding behaviors on occasion that we were able to manage through feeding seperately, protecting her eating space, and hand feeding. She never displayed agressive or resource guarding behavior towards any human or child in the home.
Unfortunately, earlier this year she attacked our other dog (provocation/behavior prior to attack was not witnessed) and they became unsafe to have in the home together. She is a large (150 lb) and strong dog. She was rehomed at that time to another family, with the warning that she need to be in a home without another dog. She lived happily with that family (two parents, two small children) over the last year, they did in time take in another dog that she got along with well, played, with no attacks or fights during that time. They recently lost their housing and she is once again in a position to need a new home.
She is smart, knows basic commands (sit, stay, roll over, spin) although can be stubborn, will perform for treats and pets. She loves to snuggle and relax, absolutely loves to be brushed and go for walks, and would be happiest as an inside-outside dog in a calm atmosphere, and well secured yard/fence.
We *strongly* advise a home without another dog. She is a docile, gentle giant, but can and will react to another dog within the home. She does very well on a leash, does not pull, and has always been a very attentive and loving companion. She is spayed/neutered. Would make an amazing *therapy type* pet to a single person/couple, or small family.

TOBY AND MASON
“Tobin and Mason had a rough start, spending the first seven months of their lives outside with minimal human interaction. When they first arrived at Pasado’s, they were understandably hesitant and unsure of the world around them. However, these two sweet boys have made incredible progress thanks to their love for other animals. Playing with confident, social dogs has helped them come out of their shells and become more comfortable in their new environment.
The real turning point for Tobin and Mason came when they embraced their natural instincts as livestock guardian dogs and were introduced to our resident alpacas. These boys now love spending their days roaming the pasture, getting gently groomed by the alpacas, and even grazing grass together! Their bond with the alpacas has been truly heartwarming to witness.
Tobin and Mason can be adopted together or separately, but they would thrive in a home where they can freely choose to spend their time indoors or outdoors and choose the amount of human contact they’re comfortable with. An ideal home would also have other animals, such as a friendly dog, to help them feel at ease and provide companionship. If you’re looking for a pair (or a single) of dogs to enjoy a peaceful, nature-filled life with, Tobin and Mason could be the perfect match for you!”
Mason and Tobin are neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on vaccines. They have no known health issues. Their estimated birthday is 9/21/2023, so they’re just over a year old.

ANGUS’ Story
BORN: 7.2.2020 (currently he is 4 and ½ years old). He was neutered and microchipped at age 1 from Frontier Veterinary Clinic in Lake Stevens. His last shots were at “My Pets Vet Clinic.”, but he is due for his shots to be updated.
He was the largest male puppy of his litter; an absolute love. His current weight is 123 pounds.
BREED: Pyrenees / Labrador Retriever / German Shepherd
Angus’ mother was ½ Lab and ½ Pyrenees
(Angus’ father is a German Shepherd and a little golden retriever).
He was purchased from a dairy farmer in Monroe, WA. The farm consists of a few hundred acres along the Snohomish River and Angus loves the water especially in the summertime. He was crate trained as a puppy but he is so good in the house and the garage that we don’t put him in the dog crate anymore. So Annie goes into the crate at nighttime and Angus sleeps on his bed loose in the garage.
Angus is an independent thinker typical of the Great Pyrenees; he is great with livestock and responds best to positive encouragement and if you love him and tell him “good boy” he will obey and follow you anywhere. He does understand the word NO and usually responds well. He is very protective of his property and owners. He will growl and bark at strangers. We never let him run on his own. We are either out with him or he is on a gated huge back porch or needs to be in a fenced yard. He is affectionate and gives hugs, but also likes his space.
He loves to lay out in the grass and chew a good bone or play with his ball. He loves to have the ball thrown, but he is a ball hog and will never give it back. He likes to carry it around. He loves his toys (all of them are named “SQUEAKY”). He is great at walking with a leash from a tiny puppy. He does great riding in the car. He has stayed at Tails a Waggin in Bothell, WA and does great being bathed and brushed. Goes to Bed by 9pm each night and let him out to potty and feed him each morning between 7am and 9am. If he ever has to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, he will bark until you let him outside to go, then will come back in when he is done. He will not go to the bathroom in the house or the garage.
BASIC COMMANDS ANGUS KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS: No bark, good boy, good sit, get the ball, find it, stay, come, go potty.
He comes if you whistle, he also comes if you clap your hands, he is an independent thinker so sometimes it’s delayed obedience if he is focused on something else.
Angus is my parents dog. Both of my parents have had some major health obstacles recently and recognize their inability to provide the level of care their dogs deserve.
Angus is located in Snohomish,Washington.
