Anatolian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Cheyenne, Wyoming

Lollie is such a sweet and goofy girl! She thinks she's a total lap dog who loves all of the cuddles and pets you can give her. She is currently working on perfecting her leash manners and has made so much progress! Lollie is potty trained and thrives off of positive reinforcement (very food motivated!) so training is more fun, rather than a chore with her! She has lovely house manners and is not interested in chewing or any sort of destruction towards the home, house plants, or her toys.

Lollie is very "go with the flow" and is content hanging out in another room while you are working in another. She is just happy to match your pace and content just being part of your world. One of her favorite hobbies? Sunbathing! Give her a sunny patch of floor or a warm backyard spot and she'll happily stretch out and soak it all in. She also loves her toys and enjoys gentle playtime.

Lollie came to us after receiving an incidental bite wound to her foot. Since then, it has taken a lot of time and effort to regain her trust and allow us to help her heal. We have finally curbed the infection, and she is almost good as new! Lollie can be very sensitive to having that foot touched, so she will need an adopter who is willing to continue working with her and helping her feel comfortable. Lollie has also be unwilling to make dog-friends since the incident, and will need to be the only pup in the home.

If you are willing to invest in Lollie, BIG LOVE is coming your way in return!
