17. Hank
Adult (6 years 2 months) · Male · Anatolian Shepherd / Great Pyrenees / Mixed · 13 mi from Anna





Say hello to Hank, originally named Pollux when we rescued him in April of 2021. He was one of three dogs who were roaming in East Texas and stopped for a while at a sheep farm. The LGDs protecting the sheep didn't appreciate unknown dogs hanging around, so we were called in to help. We picked up two handsome boys plus a beautiful girl, and we named them Castor, Pollux, and Gemini. We took care of their veterinary needs and put them to work in our pastures. All three dogs were adopted as working livestock guardians. Hank was adopted to protect chickens and other fowl.
Read more about Hank
Pollux looks to be an Anatolian Shepherd mixed with either Akbash or Great Pyrenees. He had a good life for 5 years, but when circumstances changed and the family no longer wanted to keep Pollux, they honored their adoption contract by calling us. Hank is great in our pasture with our Nigerian Dwarf goats and gets along well with the other dogs in the pasture.

18. Oskar
Adult (4 years 6 months) · Male · Anatolian Shepherd / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from Anna








Oskar was surrendered to us by his family when they lost the lease on their farm. They had bought him from a breeder who said he is Anatolian Shepherd mixed with Central Asian Shepherd. Our website doesn't include Central Asian Shepherd as one of the breeds we can choose, probably because the breed is not very common in the USA. Oskar was raised with Boer goats, and since moving to Windsong Ranch, he has been guarding Nigerian Dwarf goats.
Read more about Oskar
Oskar has a bit of an alpha personality with other dogs but is a real sweetheart with people. He can be a bit dog-selective, so if you have other working LGDs, we will need to have a meet & greet to see if he approves. Here, we have tried him with a few different dogs, and he does best with one of our feral LGDs. I think that's because the feral dog has zero interest in getting attention from the humans here, so that means Oskar can get all the love when we're in his pasture, and he just soaks that up.
Oskar has never been exposed to chickens or other livestock. Just goats. He has had an introduction to our longhorn bull, and showed proper respect, which is understandable when you see the size of the bull and his horns!
If Oskar sounds like a good match for you, please complete the application on our website.
19. Robert the Bruce
Adult (1 year 8 months) · Male · Akbash / Great Pyrenees · 13 mi from Anna






Robert the Bruce comes from a litter of puppies who were born on a ranch in Central Texas. They were exposed to Boer goats and longhorn cattle from the very beginning. And LOTS of dogs -- the ranch started with a handful of livestock guardian dogs (LGDs), and didn't spay/neuter any of them, so before you know it, he had more than 60 dogs and puppies, all growing up completely feral. Since March 2024, we've been trapping and removing as many as we can, and as of June 2025, we have removed 50 dogs and puppies from this one ranch. More remain, so this is an ongoing project and we won't rest until every dog has been spayed/neutered and vaccinated.
Read more about Robert the Bruce
Robert the Bruce and his siblings were completely feral when they were trapped, and in the beginning, they would just SCREAM when we tried to handle them. Over time, they have learned that humans might not be the worst creatures that ever existed. At Bluebonnet's home base, he has lived in our barn with exposure to goats and barn cats, and of course more livestock guardian dogs.
We don't know which of the adult LGDs on the ranch are his parents, but most of the adults that we have trapped, have weighed at least 90 lbs. Speaking of adults -- the rancher started with Akbash, Anatolian, and Great Pyrenees. Most of the dogs and puppies that we have seen look like full Akbash, Akbash/Anatolian mix or Akbash/Great Pyrenees mix. All of the puppies in this litter are solid white and look like full Akbash pups, but we can't say that with certainty since we don't know which adults are their parents.

Adopting a dog in Anna
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.
