Description:
DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting. ***** Captain is 2-1/2yo, weighs 130lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, and is microchipped. He fears/dislikes hats/voluminous hair/bulky clothing. During the day, Captain is loose inside the home; he's crated in the main bedroom at night. He can sit in a car, but doesn't like it, and will start to drool. Captain's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him: "Captain is a very sweet gentle giant but he has very many Great Pyrenees traits and needs to be in a farm or farm like environment. We live in a small house with no land and due to his mix being pyrenees dominant rather than dane, we cannot provide him with the environment he needs." Lunge Incident: Within the past 10 days, Captain lunged at a neighbor in his yard in Frederick, MD; no bite occurred, so the skin wasn't broken; animal control wasn't involved. Captain's guardian explains: " Captain lunged at my neighbor due to her approaching inappropriately in my property without him having been alerted first. The incident was situational. After having discussed with trainer it was determined that Captain was only trying to protect his “flock” as he is meant to be a flock guardian. This is what led us to decide he needs to be in a farm. The place we live is simply not suited to a dog of this nature." Captain's guardian states the following regarding children: Since Captain hasn't lived with children, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with children, stating "Captain gets excited around children but I would not recommend he live with children due to his size and playfulness. He likes contact play and could easily harm a child just due to his size." Captain's guardiann states the following regarding dogs: Since Captain has lived with dogs, his guardian recommends his living with dogs, stating "Captain LOVES animals. He is very playful with other dogs." Captain's guardian states the following regarding cats: Since Captain has lived with cats, his guardian recommends his living with cats, stating "Mostly indifferent, sometimes if the cat engages". Captain's guardian describes him as: Very active Barks alot Playful Independent Protective House-Trained Crate-Trained Likes men Likes women Captain's guardian describes his ideal future home: " We would love for Captain to be placed in a farm and be able to live out his best flock guardian dreams. A home filled with animals and a lot of land to roam would be ideal." Rehoming Fee: None Location: Frederick, MD***** ADOPTION PROCESS 1.
