Help Shadie stay in Texas!!!
GPRS caught up with the Shadie Lady to see how she was doing in her foster home.
GPRS: Hey Shadie! How are you liking being in foster?
Shadie: Just fine! I was just fixin to go bark at the ducks in the pond outside the fence.
GPRS: You don’t like ducks? You didn’t like cows much either.
Shadie: I didn’t like cows. They just chewed the cud and talked about the weather and grass. I kept running away because I was bored. I wanted to be with people. Ducks are more fun. I bark, and they fly away. They make funny sounds.
GPRS: That does sound like fun. For you at least. What do you think about coming to foster in the Pacific Northwest and getting adopted there?
Shadie: I’m a Texas girl. I’m sure y’all are nice up there, but I’m Texas-born and bred. It’s my home. I’m shorter coated, as you can see. It might be too cold for me. I reckon I’d rather stay here. Why doesn’t anyone here want to adopt me?
Shadie is a 3 year-old spayed female Great Pyrenees who weighs approximately 66 pounds. She is a short hair dog (so much less shedding), is house-trained, and does not climb on furniture.
History: Shadie came to Spring, Texas, after being on a farm in East Texas where she was supposed to guard cows. Shadie kept running away to be with people so she was kept on a chain until she came to GPRS.
Notes from her foster family:
• Shadie Girl loves playing in the backyard with PYR buddy Ben. They take turns chasing and then being chased by each other.
• She is an expert at playing fetch with her Kong toys.
• She prefers to be inside the house more than outside. She always sleeps inside the house at night. She will choose a quiet place to sleep. She loves to sleep in our walk-in closet.
• She loves to be brushed and petted and loves to receive treats for being a good girl!
• Her favorite activity of the day is to go on walks!
Shadie needs some leash work, but she loves everyone and everything. She would like a dog friend in the house to play with. Adult or adult and teen households only as she can be a little rambunctious when she is playing and is a little protective of her food. Also, no ducks, please. She's a pretty, loving, and good girl who really wants a home in Texas.
