1. Zorro

Puppy (6 months) · Male · German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (short coat) · 30 mi from Alma

Hi. My name is Zorro and I am a handsome German Shepherd mix. I was found abandoned in a culvert in the country with my brother, Batman. We were being fed by the Good Samaritans who found us. We got along with all of their children and animals but we were too much for them to care for in addition to their dogs, cats, and horses. Straydog came to our rescue and we are now getting our puppy vaccinations. I am very playful and like to swim and play fetch. I never meet a stranger and would love to find my forever home. Come meet me at Straydog.

He is a typical loving little puppy. He loves to play with his toys, is affectionate, loving, and like to sit in your lap. He is leash trained and is in the process of getting all of his puppy vaccinations and will be neutered and microchipped soon.

Hi, my name is May. I was rescued with my puppies by a nice sameritian who found homes for all of them but sadly couldn't keep me so Straydog came to my rescue. I had a bad leg and needed to get it amputated, so now I am a 3-legged happy ball of joy. That doesn't stop me from running around and giving all the love I have. I am going through heartworm treatment right now, but will soon be clear to go to my fur-ever home. If you would like to meet me, contact Straydog.org.

11. Jason

Young (8 months) · Male · Great Pyrenees (medium coat) · 39 mi from Alma

Jason is kind of a special case.

He's been living in a cramped back yard with SIX other great pyrs.

As you can imagine, quarters are tight and these dogs don't get much individual attention. It's not a healthy situation for these dogs. But, Jason is young and while he's very shy and in need of a kind soul to help build his confidence, he's also super sweet and gentle.

Jason is getting accustomed to some of the regulars of being a dog, like learning how to walk on a leash, so he has a lot to learn, but he likes to please

All he needs is a little investment from you - he'll pay you back in spades!

Willow had been observed chained in the yard with no shade or water several times and we wanted to intervene, but couldn't, other than to call the authorities.

Meet this precious girl ROXY!! At 9 years young, she has so much love left to give. She’s a gentle, sweet soul who is a little afraid of the big world around her. In fact, she’s so timid that even her own shadow can be a little scary!

But here’s the beautiful thing about her… with a little patience, kindness, and love, she’s beginning to blossom!

She has been in foster care for about three weeks, and every day she’s showing a little more of her personality. She’s even starting to come out of her shell and initiate play with my dogs! Watching her confidence grow has been such a joy.

✨ A few things to love about her:

Potty trained

Crate trained

Very sweet and gentle

Starting to enjoy playtime with other dogs

She will need a patient, loving home that understands she may take a little time to feel comfortable. She isn’t the dog who will run up and greet everyone right away. She’s the girl who needs someone to earn her trust, give her reassurance, and let her blossom at her own pace.

But imagine being the person who finally shows her that she’s safe, loved, and HOME. ❤️

Roxy just needs someone willing to give her that chance.

Could you be her happily ever after?

Application available at https://www.pawsofloverescue.com/adoption-application. Adoption fee of $295 includes neuter/spay, microchip, heartworm testing, deworming, vaccinations, and other necessary procedures. Applications without a phone number will not be processed.

16. Delaney

Adult (2 years) · Female · Great Pyrenees (long coat) · 41 mi from Alma

Adopt Delaney! She is a very sweet Great Pyrenees with a tragic backstory. We believe she is around 2 yrs old, and is currently underweight at 65lbs, we are working on getting some weight on her.

Delaney was found stuck in a dumpster where she couldn't get out, we believe she went in looking for food. Her female Pyrenees companion (Lilly, also available for adoption with SPIN Rescue) was waiting outside the dumpster staying by Delaneys side. They were both covered in fleas and had clearly spent a lot of time on the streets together.

Read more about Delaney

Despite her history, Delaney is a happy affectionate dog that loves people, sometimes more than food! She is great with kids too. She lovings giving and getting love. She greets strangers with enthusiasm.

She takes treats gently and knows how to 'Sit'.

She is good with dogs of all sizes and even cats.

Sometimes Delaney needs some encouragement to come inside, but once you give her a little sweet talking she comes in with a tail wag and smile. When she gets overwhelmed she finds a little corner to tuck into but won't stay there for long.

She is great on a leash, does well with new people, kids and dogs she meets while out. She did really well at a brewery for our adoption event.

Delaney needs a little encouragement to load up into a car but then rides well, after realizing you don't need her help driving.

She is house trained and has a medium energy level.

Delaney is spayed. Her adoption fee is $250. She is currently in a foster home in Dallas / Ft Worth area of Texas. We do adopt out of state and can help arrange transport, adopters will be responsible for transportation costs.

17. Lilly

Adult (4 years 11 months) · Female · Great Pyrenees (long coat) · 41 mi from Alma

Meet Lilly! She is an incredibly sweet dog with a heartbreaking backstory. Estimated to be around 4-6 yrs old, she came into SPIN rescue clearly starving, very underweight at 70lbs, we think a healthy weight would be around 90-100lbs.

Lilly was found on the street near a dumpster. Her female Great Pyrenees companion (Delaney, also now with SPIN Rescue) had gotten stuck inside the dumpster and Lilly was loyal, staying nearby, waiting for her friend to be rescued.

Read more about Lilly

A vet has confirmed Lilly has had multiple litters of puppies in the past. We also believe she was abused at some point as she is very sensitive to pressure on her neck/collar and starts to panic. She has some scarring on her nose and legs, either from abuse or her time on the streets.

Now safe in her foster home, she has been the sweetest, calmest, most amazing dog.

She absolutely adores children and follows the 8yr boy around the house, he is her favorite. She has a very calm relaxed demeanor, low energy. She can be shy with adult strangers but once she realizes they are kind, she has loved everyone she's met. She does enjoy snuggling and will rest in your lap.

Lilly was reserved at first, but now thats she's getting more comfortable she has been more playful and even got the zoomies. She enjoys putting her feet in the pool.

She has been great with all dogs. Lilly will need another dog in her forever home, as she bonds strongly with dogs. (If you don't have one, you can also adopt Delaney, who she was found with)

Regarding cats, she has gotten better and now gets along well with cats on her foster home's property but is not a fan of strange cats. She does well with livestock too but is ready for the inside life.

She is mostly house trained, we think she will have it down by time she is adopted. We do not walk her on leash, as she is sensitive to pressure on the collar - she becomes scared and wants to get away. Fencing in her home will need to be secure as she can be a runner. She overall doesn't bark but when she does its justified.

Lilly has been through a lot in her life, she deserves the best. Her adopters will need to have some patience at first but she warms up quickly and will love you with all her heart.

Lilly is now spayed. Her adoption fee is $250. She is in a foster home in DFW area of Texas. We do adopt out of state and can recommend transport organizations.

18. Bailey

Adult (5 years) · Male · Great Pyrenees / Mixed (long coat) · 41 mi from Alma

Adopt Bailey! He is a male Great Pyrenees, around 4-6 years old and 90lbs. Found dumped in a rural neighborhood, his foster family took him in and got him healthy. Now he is looking for a forever home.

Bailey is very people friendly. He loves attention and belly rubs. He does well with kids and babies. With strangers he can be cautious or bark at first but quickly accepts love once he realizes they are kind.

Read more about Bailey

Bailey tolerates female dogs and will play well but he takes some time to warm up. Slow introductions are best. He has not done well with male dogs in the past, especially if they are not neutered. He has some leash reactivity to dogs while on walks.

He is indifferent to the neighborhood cats.

Overall he is a calm and lazy guy. Enjoys the occasional tug of war game with a rope toy. He is great about reading the room and matching your mood.

Bailey LOVES car rides and getting a pup cup at Starbucks. He even did great on a boat outing! He also does well at the groomers.

He is smart and has quickly picked up commands such as 'Sit', 'Stay', and 'Lay Down'. He's mastered the Pyr Paw and if that doesn't work, he will use his nose to lift your hand.

Like a typical Pyrenees, he does bark when people or dogs walk by the house. He is house trained, but has marked the house when anxious in the past.

Bailey is a loveable dog that just wants to be loved in return.

He is neutered and up to date on vaccines. His adoption fee is $250. Currently he is in a foster home in DFW area of Texas. We are happy to work with out of state adopters if they arrange their own transport.

Young (1 year 5 months) · Male · Great Pyrenees / Mixed (medium coat) · 41 mi from Alma

Adopt Obi! He is a smart, playful, up for adventure, male Great Pyrenees mix, we believe he is just over 1 yrs old, currently weighs about 95lbs.

Obi is very loyal. He enjoys belly rubs and loves snuggling with his foster family, definitely wants to be a lap dog. He can be cautious of new people. Once he warms up he is great with people and is his normal goofy, playful self. He is good with kids and the 3yr old in his foster home but doesn't realize how big he is and occasionally bumps into them.

He is playful and goofy. Enjoys playing with toys, prancing in the backyard, and even swimming.

Read more about Obi

Obi is very smart and loves to work for treats, and has picked up on tricks very quickly. He has also learned to open gates and doors, so may need to add a carabiner to your yard gates.

He really enjoys tug-of-war, wrestling, and fetch competitions with dogs, following it up with laying together on the couch for a nap.

While he is amazing with the dominate medium sized female, he has showed some food aggression towards the large submissive but protective male dog in his foster home. Obi is currently underweight, so with time he may not be insecure around food with other large male dogs. He is great with both dogs when no food is involved!

Obi is potty trained, crate trained, does well in the car, and is great on the leash but will pull some. He loves walks and hikes.

Obi is a street dog turned lap dog, he would be a great addition to many homes!

He is currently neutered and up to date on vaccines. His adoption fee is $250. Currently located in DFW area Texas, out of state adopters are responsible for arranging their own transport but we are happy to recommend transport companies.

Young (5 months 28 days) · Male · Great Pyrenees / Mixed (long coat) · 41 mi from Alma

Adopt Max! He is 6 months old, currently 80lbs, male Great Pyrenees mix. He is beautiful and strong. He was the largest puppy in his litter - and everything about Max is big!

Max has big paws, big appetite, and a big heart. He loves everyone he meets and is very popular in the neighborhood during daily walks. He loves children but is so big and young that he does require supervision.

Read more about Max

He does well with the big and small dogs in his foster home. He has medium energy and will play hard for a short time and follow it with a very long nap. He is also happy to chew a bone or play with toys by himself. His forever family will need to have another dog in the home to play and teach manners.

He has not been around cats, but he has seen rabbits, squirrels and ducks daily and he tries to be friends with them.

He is playful and loves toys. He also loves counter surfing, shoes, and toilet paper like a classic puppy. He is still growing up and learning about the world.

Max is potty trained, leash trained, and knows basic commands. He does well in his crate but prefers sleeping on cold stone floors. He loves going in the car.

Max and his littermates were rescued at 10 weeks old. Day one in SPIN Rescue care we witnessed him have a seizure. Max was then hospitalized for 2 days to determine the cause as he continued to have seizures. All tests came back normal but he was started on phenobarbital with success. Since being discharged, Max has been seizure-free for the last 4 months and, although he has since gained 50lbs, we have kept him on the same dose - we are weaning him off medication as he grows. The plan is to stop in two months if he continues to remain seizure free. He happily takes his medication.

His littermate had a DNA test done revealing they are 80% Great Pyrenees, 8% Husky, 8% German Shepherd, and 4% mix. He is going to be very large.

Max is neutered and up to date on vaccines. His adoption fee is $300. He is currently in a SPIN foster home in Dallas, Texas. Out of state applications will need to arrange transport, we are happy to reocmmend companies.

Adopting a dog in Alma

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
