More than "just a dog"....

This is so very true.... (copied from another post)

Can't take him to the beach for a walk because he bothers you and messes with the holiday... I'm not allowed to rent a house if I have a dog, and I can't take him.
However, I can take him to the rubble to find you after an earthquake, in the woods after you get lost in the mountains and you didn't have neither map nor gps; under snow because you made a detour not allowed off track; in the water because, despite the red flag, you have entered the sea and your life is in danger! And finally ....
It's just a dog, but it will find you.
And it will save you!!!

ADOPTED

Jack is a 9 month old male thought to be a Great Pyrenees. He’s current on age appropriate core vaccinations, he is already neutered and tested negative for heartworm. Jack is a sweet, playful boy who does well with the other dogs in his foster home. He is generally good with the kitties, though he does occasionally like to chase them. He’s overall very good in a crate. Jack currently weighs about 75-80 lbs and has very large, thick puppy paws! Most male Great Pyrenees weigh 110-120 lbs as adults, with some weighing more. Jack did well with the children he was fostered with after arriving in Maine. With his expected adult size, any children in the home should be over the age of 12. Please continue reading for more information about Jack.

Soon after he arrived in Maine this past May, Jack was diagnosed with left sided facial paralysis. He also had an ear infection, which can sometimes cause facial paralysis. While undergoing treatment for the infection, we learned Jack had suffered head trauma, prior to coming into the care of our rescue partner in Mississippi. Given the nature of the wounds discovered on his head when he was found, the trauma may have been the result of his being bitten by a larger dog, but we will never know for sure. Over time, the facial paralysis has caused loss of muscle mass and muscle memory to the left side of his face. This results in his left ear staying in an upright position, and gives him his adorable crooked grin. While there is a slight possibility of some nerve regrowth over time, it is quite likely his current level of left side facial paralysis will be permanent. Artificial tears need to be applied to his left eye 2-3 times daily as he doesn’t blink a lot. At his second vet visit, Jack was diagnosed with mild ectropian in his right eye. This condition is being medically managed with artificial tears 2-3 times each day. (Yes, that means he currently gets drops in both eyes, 2-3 times a day). Occasionally, Jack may need a steroid drop applied to one or both of his eyes. Our veterinarian recommends Jack be seen every two months for follow-up eye exams until he is fully grown (at approximately 2 years of age). While the ectropian is currently responding well to the medically management, he may eventually require a surgical correction, which would be the responsibility of his new family.

Jack’s new family should have an understanding of the Great Pyrenees breed. Previous experience with the breed is a plus. They’re great dogs, however, they are not suitable for all families or lifestyles. Great Pyrenees are generally good family dogs. They also like to bark, LOVE to dig and get dirty, can often be stubborn, and they love to roam. They are not a breed that is typically reliable off leash. While we don’t normally require our adoptive families to have fences, we prefer Jack's new family have one. For an accurate description of life with a Great Pyrenees please visit the link, watch the video and read the article on It's Dog or Nothing’s website: 6 Reasons NOT to Get a Great Pyrenees: https://itsdogornothing.com/6-reasons-not-to-get-a-great-pyrenees. Very funny and spot on!

As a reminder, to be considered for adoption, you must first submit a completed application for approval. Applications will only be accepted if all of the dogs and cats in your home are current on their core vaccinations and they are also already spayed or neutered. For more information and to download an application, please visit: www.mainelabrescue.com/adopt. If you have an approved application or have submitted an application in recent weeks, please email [email protected] to let us know of your interest in this pet.

Please do not apply for a pet that is currently available if you are going on vacation and wish to wait until you return home before adopting or if you are not able to attend our next adoption event or if you are not able to schedule an adoption appointment on or before the coming weekend if no event is scheduled. We cannot hold pets for future adoption appointments, nor can we hold adopted pets for future pick up.

Inquiries for each available dog or cat will be considered in the order of arrival and a meet and greet will be offered to each pet’s right fit, first in line approved applicant. Please note, if you are interested in more than one pet, please list the order of your interest in your emailed inquiry. It will not be possible to meet more than one pet during an appointment.

Due to Massachusetts import laws we are unable to adopt to MA residents. Any questions regarding these laws should be directed to Massachusetts Department of Agriculture.
