!!URGENT- DEADLINE FOR ADOPTION OR RESCUE: WEDNESDAY 4/30!!Meet Kookie — a stunning 7-year-old Great Pyrenees mix with an independent spirit. True to her breed, Kookie seems to have spent her early years doing what Pyrenees were born to do: living outdoors, protecting her flock, and relying on her instincts. She came into the shelter in rough shape, loaded with parasites, likely a sign of a hard-working life on her own. Kookie is now ready for her next chapter. At 7, she’s well past the puppy antics stage — she appreciates calm, predictable routines and a quiet home where she can feel secure. The noisy, stressful shelter environment has made her unsure and defensive around other dogs, which isn’t unusual for her breed in these conditions.Kookie will thrive in a home that understands and respects the independent, guardian nature of livestock guardian breeds. She’s not a dog park socialite — she’s a thoughtful, loyal companion who bonds deeply with her people. If you have a peaceful home, a secure yard, and the patience to let her settle in at her own pace, Kookie just might be your perfect match.Breed-savvy adopters preferred. Kookie deserves a home where her heart and instincts are honored.To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon – 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon – 6:00 pm.
