Sofie is a three year old great pyrenees. She is sweet and timid at first but quickly warms up when she trusts you and would follow you to the ends of the earth. Sofie has been standoffish with her fellow foster dogs but is slowly getting use to them. If you are patient, have a calm home and are looking for a wonderful, loving companion then Sofie is your girl.

We try to avoid dogs with same sex households as pyrs typically do not do well with the same sex.
A volunteer will be in touch to discuss your application and the dog to determine if it is a good match. Your vet and two references will be called. A virtual home visit done. Once approved a meet and greet at the farm will take place. If all are in agreement an adoption contract will be signed and adoption fee paid. Adoption fees for dogs are $500. for adults over 12 months, $600 for puppies 12 months and younger. Fees for seniors, special needs or harder to place dogs will be determined by our Board of Directors. All dogs will be altered when adoption is finalized. This may involve young puppies be given until a certain age to be altered.
