Elwin

Let's start out with something simple...I am a female, despite my name! When I arrived at AGPR, there was some confusion in my paperwork over my previous name. Some pages showed Winnie and some showed Ellie. So I was named Elwin. I am hoping that as soon as I am adopted, my new family will change my name!<br/><br/>My background is also a bit confusing. Let's just leave it as this, I am so very, very happy to be at Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue!!! I have my "she shed" (xxl crate) in the Office right next to the window. When my favorite volunteer shows up on weekend mornings, I alert EVERYONE because I know I am going to be the very first Pyr she walks. If she spends time giving the chickens some lettuce, I get a little impatient. I know she loves me and out we go for our walk. The other benefit of my Office location is that I can watch all meal preparation and sometimes get to do a little "quality control".<br/><br/>Let's talk about "the elephant in the room" - two things about me. One is my age - we don't know how old I am. Am I five or six or ??? When I first arrived, I spent lots of time sleeping. Maybe my body just needed to recuperate from my previous uncertain life? Now I enjoy a meal followed by a good walk followed by a treat and a good nap...repeat. I am friendly and love meeting new people. Most of all, I love the cuddles, hugs and kisses as well as a treat or two. The other "elephant"? I did test positive for heartworm. But you can't tell! I'm on the "slow kill" method and hope that my next test is negative.<br/><br/>What else can I tell you? I'm lovely...people and attention and love and affection all make me very, very happy! I would be "over the moon" happy with a loving forever family. Could it be you???<br/><br/>All Great Pyrenees require a fenced-in yard (at least four foot high). If you have questions about the breed or our adoption policies and procedures, please go to our website at www.agprescue.org. There's plenty of good information about the breed on our website - Pyrs aren't a breed for everyone!<br/><br/>Our adoption application is online: http://agprescue.org/adoption-application/agpr-application-donations/ Please note that we are a small regional rescue organization. We will consider adopting to families within a four to five hour drive to Richmond, VA
