Nessa - beautiful Pyr/Anatolian girl

Nessa (3 years old, 70 lbs.) is a real beauty ready to find her forever home! Here's what her person has to say:<br/>- - - - - - - - - -<br/> Nessa is an incredibly sweet, cuddly, and smart girl. She is the most relaxed, loving creature, and deserves a forever home that can meet her needs. When I walk by her, she lays on her back with her paws in the air to ask for rubs; and when I stop, she puts a paw on my leg to ask for more: the typical ‘Pyr Paw’... wanting that connection. When she meets someone new, she will warm up very quickly for a treat and welcome you as a friend. <br/> Nessa was rescued from the streets of Houston and was taken into Rocky Mountain Lab Rescue because her features look so much like a  Labrador. However, she is now living in a home by the Denver Zoo and her DNA came back as a Pyr/Anatolian/GSD mix. <br/> She would be an absolutely wonderful dog for someone looking for an LGD mix (livestock guardian dog) as a companion animal in their home.  <br/> Nessa is very quiet inside the house and rarely barks at people going by. She has successfully played with a few other doggie friends - she just needs a slow and mindful introduction. She lives with another dog in her home and does fine, and was in a foster home with another dog … So as long as your intros are slow, we believe she can be with another friendly dog. <br/> Nessa has mastered loose leash walking over the last year and in general has beautiful leash skills. She does have some prey drive towards pesky squirrels and may lunge after them. Nessa also on occasion may react towards another dog on leash if they are walking straight towards her, but she is very easy to redirect with food and known cues.<br/> Nessa has worked with a professional trainer and is well trained. When she sees another dog on a walk now, she will often check in with her human first. She is very food-motivated and a fast learner. <br/> Nessa’s current environment is just not the right one for her, and although her family loves her dearly they know she would be more successful and truly thrive in a quieter environment. She currently lives with small children and it is a busy, hectic home in the heart of Denver. <br/> Nessa’s ideal home would be a fairly quiet environment, with a decent sized yard or enclosure where she could hang outside and then come inside for belly rubs and love. <br/> She has exhibited some resource guarding of her food, a very common behavior for livestock guardians - so feeding her outside or behind a baby gate is the best strategy to help her feel safe when eating (and to eliminate conflict). But aside from that, she is a sweet, easy going girl looking for a wonderful home. <br/>- - - - - - - -<br/><br/>For more info and/or to apply to adopt Nessa, send us an email at SummitDogRescue@gmail.com, telling us a bit about yourself, your home environment and your lifestyle. A volunteer will get back to you shortly. Thanks.
