ALFRED

is good in the the house, and also good in a kennel; LOVES to go to Board and Train; and is often left home alone for 6 hours without a peep. He knows what a toy is and what is not and lets go of items [including food] without complaint. Alfred is quiet and respectful. He is good in 5′ fencing but will stand on his hind legs to look out.

The fact that Alfred has not had enough proper socializing outside of his apartment [other than six weeks with a professional trainer] he is insecure when he goes out for a walk and sees another dog – so he can be reactive in the wrong hands if the person is tense, nervous or frustrated. Bottom line, he does not get out on leash walks much in the city.

Owners obtained him from Foster Tails Rescue a year ago but the Rescue refuses to take him back. Owners are unable to keep Alfred any longer. This boy is neutered, has all vaccinations and weighs in at about 90 lbs. He is microchipped as well. Alfred is not very good with meeting other dogs on a walk, and his owners are fearful he will pull them down. So they only take him out on a short walk in the morning and evening, and maybe a few-minutes playtime in a small back yard. After all, they live in the city – a San Francisco apartment! Definitely not suitable for any dog, much less a big guy who needs to romp, play, run around and have a life outside of an apartment.

Alfred really needs a home with an experienced handler that can teach him how to trust other dogs and strangers. It’s not that hard but does take time and patience. His owners have really tried and given Alfred their all to make this work, but just don’t know what to do. Let’s help them find a great home for their boy – out of the city and into the rural areas where he can be a dog! Alfred is young, sweet and healthy and deserves a great life playing with other dogs.

The best part about Alfred – besides him being beautiful and sweet – is that he is very calm and well behaved. Alfred has not had enough proper socializing outside of his apartment so we are looking for a family with a home, a yard and time to introduce him to the world. Alfred is young, sweet and healthy and deserves a great life. This lovely boy is neutered, microchipped and has all vaccinations.

At the present time, Alfy has been in rescue at Shady Hill. The people who care for him say that are, “madly falling in love with him.” They all agree he is, “totally awesome!”

Alfred is a gorgeous 2-year-old Great Pyrenees.

GINGER

This beautiful, sweet girl had a lot of change in a rather short period of time. We believe she originally came from Oklahoma, was taken in by a rescue in Texas, adopted to a family here in the PNW and after only a couple of months in her new home her owner fell ill and could no longer care for her.

Ginger came to us extremely overweight, but with careful feeding and plenty of exercise, she’s returning to a healthy weight and we’re seeing her frisky, silly side come out. In her most recent home, she was good with a variety of livestock, including goats, cows, chickens, and since being with us, she’s been wonderful with people and other dogs.

GINGER AND BEN

FYI, while in the care of rescue, Ben and Ginger have become very close friends.

They would do very well being adopted together.

BEN

is a three-year-old incredible, people loving, attention loving boy. He is housebroken, current on vaccines and neutered but is quite needy and has problems being left alone. He does well with another dog to keep him company. He walks well on a leash.
