Meet Michelina

Michelina is a 3 year old spaniel/ Great Pyrenees mix who came to us from a serious nelglect case. She is typically massively fluffy but was in such poor shape that her fur had to be shaved off entirely. You can see the before and after photo to understand what we are saying. She is gentle and desperate to please and she is absolutely devoted to her people.

The spaniel in Michelina means shes everyone's friend liking people, dogs, cats even the vacuum, but she does so with the reserve of the Great Pyrenees. She is mellow and easy going in the home, but can also play a good game of tag with her house mate shepherd friend. She is house trained, walks easily on a leash and
loves a walk but is a bit selective about coming when called, unless food is
involved, but then again, the same applies to me. She loves to be brushed and is waiting patiently for her forever family, whom she will be devoted to wanting only to provide her family with a lifetime of joy!!



If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php.

Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process.

All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be.

Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:
1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).
2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.
3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.
4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.
Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.
Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.

All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training.
Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
