Beryl (Miss Bea)
Senior • Female • Large
Meet Beryl aka Miss Bea (if you please!) aka Your Future Couch Potato & Loyal Sidekick! Miss Bea returned to us after one of our beloved Coordinators passed away unexpectedly. Miss Bea is about 8 years old, a Great Pyrenees mix (aka Fluff Queen), and about 65 lbs. of pure snuggle potential. Beryl is a sweet, senior lady who’s a bit shy at first - kind of like that one friend who takes a while to warm up but then becomes your ride-or-die. She’s excellent with cats, and older kids (12+), and she loves the outdoors… just not in a “let’s run a marathon” way. The Fluff Queen desires to be the only queen of her castle so no other dogs, if you please. Miss Bea requires a fenced yard (she’s too dignified for leash zoomies), a person who works from home, is retired, or has a flexible schedule (she’s a low-maintenance roommate). Beryl’s Dream Home is quiet, calm, and full of love (she’s not a party animal), a human who doesn’t mind the “awkward phase” where she’s scared of men but quickly becomes a cuddle champion once she knows you, someone who needs a chill companion with a side of sass and pawing for attention. (Don’t worry, she won’t drag you down the street. Beryl’s all about relaxed walks.) She also needs someone who has the time to spoil her with attention and understands that trust takes time. She’s got a lot of love to give, but she’s not into the "speed dating" vibe - she prefers a slow, sweet burn to a lifelong friendship. If you are home more often than not and want a dog who’s more “chill vibes” than “chaos,” Beryl might just be your spirit animal. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at https://bigfluffydogs.com/adopt/adoption-application/ then email [email protected]. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM PETFINDER: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. 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.

Hemp
Adult • Male • Large
Meet Hemp! He is a 2 year old handsome boy who is full of charm! He will quickly sweep you off your feet with his goofy nature and his silly ears! Hemp is neutered, fully vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and ready to find a family to call his own! His foster family says that he is an athletic and fun loving comedian! He knows basic commands including stay, sit, hold, down, and come. He is fully potty trained and crate trained. He currently stays in his crate when his foster is away from the home for work or errands, as well as at night. People always comment that he is devilishly handsome, entertaining, and that he is the perfect adventure buddy! He is a lively and confident guy who loves every aspect of life. He walks very well on a leash. He will not enter a threshold without looking to his person for permission. He also waits for the go ahead to exit his crate. He is a natural at playing catch, fetch, and bring back my toy you for endless fun! Hemp is curious and eager to experience life with you! He is dog friendly and has lived with other dogs in his foster home. He has not been tested with cats so we're not sure how he would react to them but he does love to chase squirrels, rabbits, and other small critters, so it is probably safe to say he likely would chase cats. He has been around children ages 8 and older and did well with them! Our adoption application can be found at the bottom of this pet's bio. Once your application has been approved, we can arrange a virtual meet & greet with you and Hemp Hemp is currently in a foster home in Houston, TX and is eligible to transport to an adopter as soon as we have the adoption finalized. https://form.jotform.com/91509534693162
