10. Gerald
Adult (1 year) · Male · Great Pyrenees (long coat) · 48 mi from Bowman








Meet Gerald, a giant, cuddly baby who is 100% convinced he’s a lapdog! Sweet as can be and endlessly goofy, this oversized puppy gets along wonderfully with kids of all ages, adults, and other dogs. When he’s not throwing his favorite squeaky toys around the room, Gerald’s primary mission is snuggling—whether that means laying across your feet, leaning in for endless pets, or using you as his personal mattress. Because he thrives on human connection and just wants to be part of the action, Gerald would do best with a family where someone works from home or is open to doggy daycare. His ideal adopters won't mind a little extra fur, routine drool, and a gentle giant who is still learning spatial awareness and realizing he's slightly too big to actually fit in your lap.
Read more about Gerald
Because Gerald is a guardian breed, he will need a home with a fence or dedicated leash walking. If you’re ready for an affectionate, hilarious lovebug to brighten your home, Gerald is your guy! Apply today on the MACS Friends website!

11. Apollo
Adult (1 year 1 month) · Male · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie (long coat) · 48 mi from Bowman









Meet Apollo, a sweet little Yorkie who is still learning that the world and the people in it are safe! Because Apollo didn’t have much human socialization before coming into rescue, he is very timid at first and needs a calm, patient person, preferably at home alot, willing to give him time and space to settle in. It takes him about three weeks to truly open up, but once he trusts you, he becomes your devoted little shadow—following you everywhere, keeping you company, and cozying up right at your feet. Interestingly, Apollo isn't shy around other dogs at all! He lights up around canine companions of any size, especially bigger dogs and loves to join in on playtime, and gains so much confidence from having a doggy buddy to guide him.
Read more about Apollo
His ideal home includes a securely fenced yard for outside sniffing and exploring, plus a friendly, playful resident dog to help show him the ropes. If you have a peaceful heart, a little patience, and a cozy spot near your feet, Apollo is ready to grow into your most loyal friend! Apply today on the MACS Friends website!
