This very handsome young Pyrenees boy is Hulk, and he is such a sweet boy. Hulk is a good-natured, friendly boy and he just loves everyone he meets. Hulk will come right to you for attention and affection. He walks nicely on leash, and he rides well in the car. He does great with other dogs and really likes to play. He even did great meeting the kitties. Such a good boy! Hulk came to rescue when he ended up unclaimed at a very overcrowded TN Animal Control, and thankfully, he was such a nice boy, the Animal Control officer reached out to us for rescue help for him. Hulk will be a great addition for some very lucky family. He is a happy fella, and he seems so smart and eager to learn. His foster mom says he is super sweet and just wants to lean into the nearest person :) Hulk is ready for great home of his own!

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.

We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding. Please visit Fostering FAQfor an application and information about our fostering program.
