Cuddles

CUDDLES is a gorgeous Great Pyrenees mix with a beautiful fluffy coat and just 9 months olds (~DOB 3/10/25 - in case we don't update this listing and he's with us a bit). Cuddles is more shy and needs a little patience when he meets new people, and we're saying he needs to go to a home with another confident dog in the home already to help him acclimate. Looking for a new best friend and have some patience? Cuddles might be your guy! He's just 40 lbs and should be getting closer to full-grown. He's doing great with his foster but at this point still needs a home with a securely fenced in yard like his foster has as he's not yet leash trained and is anxious about a leash. He's a sweetheart once he relaxes with you and loves to play with other dogs and his people.<br/><br/>Adoption fee INCLUDES: all vetting to age (including deworming, flea & tick etc), spay/neuter and microchip (if the dog is under 6 months, alter and chip will occur after they're 6 months, covered in full at our clinic or reimbursed partially at a vet of your choosing). If the dog is older than 6 months and not yet altered, we will schedule ASAP (normally within 30 days) at our clinic . We also provide as an incentive a $60 rebate for completion of positive-based training classes. Adoption also includes lifetime support of the rescue.<br/><br/>Please fill out an APPLICATION here for consideration: www.secondhanddogrescue.com/apply (copy and paste link into browser window if link is not active in your browser).<br/><br/>We do most application processing virtually and dog meets will be individually by appointment with ONLY APPROVED APPLICANTS. We are not a shelter and are completely volunteer foster-based, so there is no central place to come see all of the dogs available.<br/><br/>IMPORTANT NOTES: ** Housetraining with rescues is sometimes a work in progress and even if a dog is 100% in a foster's home, it should be expected there will be an adjustment period as a dog adapts to a new environment. This is even more true if the dog has not by chance had their altering appointment at time of adoption. ** Also, we highly recommend some form of 2-week shutdown and decompression for dogs going to a new home for best results. --> Lastly, breed guesses in rescue are just that (GUESSES!!) 99.9% of the time. We do not do DNA testing and our breed guesses are based on appearance and sometimes other traits, but we know the dog breed guessing game is a fool's errand even for those with LOTS of experience.<br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE: If a dog is listed as Adoptable, he or she is still available at that time. Also, our adoption area is within a several hour radius of us in Rochester, NY (Canada within 3 hours IS allowed, except that young puppies need to be old enough to have gotten their rabies vaccination to cross the border - usually around 16 weeks)
