Estimated birthday is 09/02/2024 and she is 80lbs.<br/><br/>Hello, my official name from the shelter is Glinda, but I haven’t answered to it once because it doesn’t suit me….I refuse to be a witch, a good one or a bad one, it’s just not my style! I’m estimated to be a little over a year old, and while we haven’t had a DNA test everyone thinks I’m at least part Great Pyrenees or maybe even a short-haired purebred. I may also be part “goofball” but that apparently isn’t coded in the DNA mapping yet.<br/><br/>Being a young dog, I’m still trying to figure out how to move in my 80-pound body. I’m a big, soft, awkward, furry, lovable & loving, snuggle bug. People also are amazed at how laid back and easy-going I am given my age. I like to think I’m just an old soul in a teenager’s body. I do like to play but I poop out quickly (around 10 minutes) so medium energy levels are as good as it gets. I do like to play with other friendly dogs, and I like my toys, but I don’t always know what to do with them. For example, I’ll chase a ball but then it’s fun to just run around the yard holding it or pounce on it like it’s a runaway train if I drop it. My foster family says that is when I really look goofy! After these sessions, I’m very content to just lay down and “hang” out in the yard as if I was watching a herd of sheep doing what my breed was designed to do.<br/><br/>When I am really happy or playful, I will sometimes forget how big I am and will gallop clumsily into you by accident. My foster parents think I will outgrow this once I figure out where my BIG body is in space. I am truly a gently giant, but I may mistakenly knock a toddler down when I am excited. I’m as gentle as they come with infants though. If I’m out in the yard, I occasionally exert a bit of will power and don’t “come” immediately but that’s just to show I am not a total pushover. I have discovered that a strong woman must show her strength and independence every now and then and show some control over things. Besides, like I said, I was bred to be out in the fields making sure my herds are safe. <br/>I do LOVE attention, especially my pets and belly rubs, as a Princess-In-Training should. If it has been too long since my last attention bath, I friendly remind my family it’s time by putting my face under their hand. If that doesn’t work, I’ll give them the “Oh Please-Please” eyes and roll over showing I want some “Tummy-Time.” I even pick out where I’m going to lay down (in the house) carefully so the maximum number of people need to pass by me and scratch me when they do. I return affection too by putting my paw over your arm, resting my head in your lap, or sticking my nose in your face. I am not a big licker at all but trust me, I make sure to show my love in lots of other ways! I don’t know what non-verbal communication is, but I’m told I’m an expert at it!<br/><br/>Unlike other dogs I don’t wolf down any and all food that’s put in front of me. I’m told I should be a “Lady” so I do try and act like one when I eat. I actually eat very slowly with gentle and small bites which is really funny to watch given the huge size of my head. I have no food aggression or guarding. I also am not very food motivated however, I absolutely adore the croissants from Costco, they’re so delicate and buttery! Truth is that if you tell me and show me that I’m a “good dog”, I’ll be attached to you like Velcro!<br/><br/>Once someone’s proven to be a friend, I become very attached. I am cautious meeting new people, but I warm up quickly. I like being by my family’s side whenever possible. When dad gets the rare opportunity to work from home, I always keep him in sight. I tend to follow my family around the house, and I like to know where everyone is at all times. When everyone watches sports or movies, I’m lying either in the middle of the family room, or up on the couch with one of them. When everyone is out at work and school, I frequently wait and watch from my foster brother’s bedroom window so I can see when they get home. I then run downstairs to greet them at the door with bright eyes and a wagging tail. Did I mention how much I love my people? <br/><br/>I am learning that counter-surfing is not appropriate house behavior. I am also learning how to walk nicely on a leash. My foster family says I’m not bad but because I weigh so much it doesn’t take much to pull someone down the street. Guess I don’t know my own strength! I am usually quiet but will alert you with some barks if a stranger is approaching. Remember my job is to keep my herd safe! I am good with the house cat and am fully aware that she was here first and owns the house. I am grateful for the privilege of sharing her home and respectfully give her space. I do not like confined spaces so please don’t use a crate or lock me in a room. I am a roamer by nature and confinement is scary to me. I have destroyed a few things early in my arrival at my foster home but since then, with chew toys, keeping food that you don’t want me to eat out of reach, and my foster family learning more about my nature and needs, I’ve been pretty good, especially for my age.<br/><br/>For more information on our adoption process, please visit our website at www.youluckydogrescue.org and read our Adoption FAQ's and Before You Adopt documents. You can complete an online adoption application from our website. You can also email info@youluckydogrescue.org for additional details that are not included in this biography.<br/><br/>PRIVATE MEET & GREETS: Submitting an adoption application is required before a private meet & greet will be scheduled. We will complete a pre-screening first to make sure that the dog you are interested in is a good fit for you. That way, we don't unnecessarily waste your time or the foster's time. <br/><br/>Our adoption fee is $300 and includes all age appropriate vaccines, spay or neuter and microchipping. All of our rescue dogs are heart worm tested annually beginning at 9 months of age, and they are kept on monthly heart worm and flea preventatives.<br/><br/>The breed and age included in this listing is based upon the opinion of a vet that has examined the dog. We cannot confirm the age of the dog unless the dog was born in the care of the rescue. <br/><br/>We are located in the metro Atlanta area. We currently do not allow out of state adoptions as a home check is required as part of the adoption process.

Glinda is a Great Pyrenees mix. Estimated birthday is 09/02/2024 and she is 80lbs.

Hello, my official name from the shelter is Glinda, but I haven’t answered to it once because it doesn’t suit me….I refuse to be a witch, a good one or a bad one, it’s just not my style! I’m estimated to be a little over a year old, and while we haven’t had a DNA test everyone thinks I’m at least part Great Pyrenees or maybe even a short-haired purebred. I may also be part “goofball” but that apparently isn’t coded in the DNA mapping yet.

Being a young dog, I’m still trying to figure out how to move in my 80-pound body. I’m a big, soft, awkward, furry, lovable & loving, snuggle bug. People also are amazed at how laid back and easy-going I am given my age. I like to think I’m just an old soul in a teenager’s body. I do like to play but I poop out quickly (around 10 minutes) so medium energy levels are as good as it gets.
