Some dogs are worth melting for!
Hi I’m Olaf! And even if I am not sure about warm hugs, I like warm feelings towards me! I am a 6 years old, Great Pyreness boy and weigh 120 lbs. I have not been neutered because well, I ‘ll tell ya.
So let’s break the ice with my rescue story. I was the guardian dog of a doodle puppy mill where TAP conducted an emergency rescue post a raid. You may remember the Doodle Mania! I have spent the first 4 years of my life at the hands of severe abuse and wrongful receiver of my owner’s cruelty, and I have trauma that has made me afraid of humans, but more comfy surrounded by dogs. I have been in the best foster home since then where I have come out of my shell as much as I could. My mama gave me time and space and I am grateful. I get along beautifully with her dogs specially her TAP foster fail! But I do continue with my touch aversion and will not be leashed. So, any grooming or moving location will perhaps need medication. I also have hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis, so pain needs to be monitored along with medication. Here is my The Dodo story: https://fb.watch/x0lrk37S6t/
I am true outdoor dog and with very strong GP instincts. I spend my days guarding my foster home from unknown entities. I am a big strong boi after all! I am very sweet and gentle and I am learning to trust. After many, many months of decompression time in the yard, I have been hanging inside the home. I also come to greet my mama upon her arrival at home, will request for treats, but want my own space mostly. I play with my foster siblings a lot and they make me the happiest! I spend most of the day napping and do my patrol duty job at night to protect my ‘flock’. I need an adults only home as kids and their sudden movements frighten me. I am a gentle guy and will floor you with my handsomeness! When my goofy and loving side comes out, it’s the most adorable!
I will need a big yard, hopefully a ranch, so I can do the job I was born for and have the best instincts for! A large property is better since I will patrol and bark at night, and guarantee 100% protection from coyotes, critters and what not. Understanding of my breed is key. Independent, smart, aloof, and stubborn. Side eye is a breed trait and I have it down! I would love to be given space and left alone. I am outdoors by choice, but during bad weather and fireworks, I ay come and lay down inside. ‘Let it go……’ you know?! I will do best with dogs and minimal human interaction. Mostly a sweetheart person who understands what I have been through and will not mind me ice-olating a bit. Any treatment with me or interaction has to be only force-free and positive reinforcement. I am very sensitive so patience and calmness is key.
If you need the best guard dog, have a large space in teh yard and most importantly in your heart, we must meet up! My adoption fee is $350 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
