Lucky, one of three brothers, is a blessed, lovable pup brought into rescue after the trio was surrendered to a shelter. Lucky and his brothers are Great Pyrenees/Anatolian mixes who are being raised in a loving foster home with big and small dogs, cats, and children. They are loving life where they have a warm bed, plenty of food and spend their days playing, running, and taking naps before they do it all again! Lucky is a real people person… um, people dog! His foster mom describes him as her loyal farm companion who follows her everywhere she goes! Not only does he enjoy helping his foster mama, but he also equally loves to snuggle, give kisses, and have his belly rubbed! Lucky loves his brothers and is very respectful of the other dogs in the home—big and small. He is great with the kiddos too, following them around! This boy will need a home with a canine sister, a family who has plenty of time to continue his training, and a secure, fenced yard to keep him safe. Lucky would love to have a person home during the day who he can join, doing yard work, going on adventures, or whatever they have planned! He would be great with cats and children too! If you have big dog experience and are looking for a new family member to snuggle with and to join you in your everyday ventures, Lucky is your boy!

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.

If you can't foster or adopt at this time, please consider helping our Neediest Cases or making a tax-exempt donation by visiting our Donate page.
