Miss Alli

Meet Toffee, a beautiful Great Pyrenees who is a very sweet and affectionate girl. At about three years old, she is vibrant and happy, and she's enjoying her new life with her new found friends.

Toffee and her brother Casanova came to us in pitiful condition due to neglect. Their coats were in very poor shape, and they were both emaciated. Toffee has since fattened up, however, and she's definitely enjoying dinner at 101lbs! Toffee is also enjoying hugs and attention, and she relishes spending time with her humans. She'll even smile at you to show you how happy she is!

Toffee is a very affectionate girl who is constantly providing those she loves with kisses and snuggles. She loves to lay in your lap, snuggle her head into you, and roll over on her back to let you scratch her belly. In fact, it must be her favorite position because she'll do it, look at you with a huge, silly grin, and sop that belly rub right up! Of course you have to oblige since she's so adorable. On her first veterinary visit she rolled into the lap of the technician and kissed all over her and the veterinarian!

Toffee is a wonderful indoor dog and is both housetrained and crate trained. Toffee does well with other dogs, but she would do best with a male. However, she enjoys playing and romping around the yard with her buddies. They have a great time together! She is also good with cats and would love to play with them, as well, but they think she's an overgrown goofball. She is very gentle and loving with everyone she meets, and during events and social outings she's the life of the party. All that meet her fall in love and are smitten with Miss Toffee.

Toffee's only downfall is that she came to us food aggressive. We've worked diligently with her and have made excellent progress. She was apparently so starved that she felt she had to protect any food placed in front of her. Since her arrival she has mellowed out, let us move her bowl, pet her, and put our hands in it, but it is something that her adoptive parents would need to be aware of. Although she is excellent, kind and gentle with children, she cannot be placed with them as a result. An experienced owner would also be ideal.

Toffee would love to have her very own family to dote on her daily, and anyone who meets her will enjoy doing so. Although she had to work through the food protection, she still has a very kind heart and an extreme amount of love. You can see it in her photos. If given the chance, she will show you how much she enjoys your company and provide you with an overabundance of love!

Mandalyn!

(A Great Pyrenees!)

(Mandalyn is NOT a Livestock Guardian)

Mandalyn (pronounced "mandolin") is a gorgeous girl that came to us so incredibly emaciated that it was shocking that she was still alive and moving. At around 2yrs old, she was half the weight she was supposed to be, resulting in nothing but a skeleton with hair. She has gained 20.5lbs since coming into rescue (July 5, 2010), but still needs to gain several pounds more. Mandalyn is now healthy and doing well, however, despite it all.

Mandalyn is a social love bug who gets a thrill out of riding in the car and visiting people who dote all over her. She is kind and gentle with just enough spunk in her to make her fun. Even if she's having a quiet day at home, the moment she gets into the public eye, she makes sure to dazzle everyone with her smile and charming ways. She is completely irresistible! Her huge smile, the way she prances up to you, and how she finally rests her head against you for affection draws you in and makes you fall in love.

Mandalyn is a quiet and gentle girl that is very well mannered in the house. She is great for veterinary visits and pretty much anything you want her to do. Since she is a Great Pyrenees, however, she's not a dog that can be allowed off leash or out of a fenced yard. As a result she'll need a fence in her new home. Mandalyn does well with other animals and would enjoy a male companion to flirt with. Or, she'd be fine as an only dog. She does have some storm anxiety and becomes very nervous when there is thunder and lightening, wanting to be near you, so she'll need some understanding and patience when a yucky storm comes into town.

Mandalyn is a big female with runway model long legs, and they seem to go on for miles. She also dances and is quite talented with her dancing abilities! When she's excited to see you or ready for dinner, watch those legs and feet move with great rhythm while she adds a little hop/spin to the mix.

Mandalyn is an outstanding girl that will charm the socks off of you. If you'd like to meet her and see for yourself, just let us know!
