Nevada Great Pyrenees & Newfoundland Dog Mix Scranton, PA

Nevada is an approximately 1 year old, 80 lb Great Pyrenees mix with an amazingly sweet temperament! Jury is out on what else she's mixed with. She certainly has a Newfie look to her, but her foster Mom could also imagine Karakachan - or even, Border Collie, in there!

Nevada spent the first year of her life living in a horse stall, and has decided her new anthem is "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". This sweet lady LOVES to play with other dogs and would do so for hours on end. When the other dogs call a time out, she seeks to occupy herself by stealing something "fun" to run around with - such as pool towels, pieces of paper, and even a pool noodle! She will bring it over to you when asked though, because she's not a TOTAL wild child. Essentially, this girl is just a big puppy dog with a newfound zest for life!

Nevada has not had any accidents since getting to her foster home, so she seems to understand that pottying is best done outdoors. She settles just fine in a huge dog crate. She does pretty well on leash, but will tug a little when excited. She is too lady like to potty while on leash, so a fenced backyard is a must for her, though!

Nevada seeks a forever home with at least one doggy sibling who shares her love of playing, a fenced yard, and people who will shower her in pets and love! Treatos are also a must!

All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should 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 (i.e. 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 ten-fold, 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 to get them there.
