Nana - Anatolian Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Pacifica, California

Nana is one of those dogs who is simply hard not to love. She is a big, beautiful girl with an equally big heart. At around 110 pounds, Nana is considered a senior for a dog her size, but don't let that fool you-she is still playful, fun, and ready to enjoy life.

Nana is loving, loyal, affectionate, and wonderful with people. She also enjoys other dogs and is good with dogs of all sizes. She prefers meeting dogs off leash, where she is comfortable and confident, and does beautifully making canine friends.

She loves toys, going for walks, and stopping to sniff absolutely everything in sight. Nana walks wonderfully on leash and is a pleasure to take out and about.

Because Nana is not good with livestock, her ideal home will be one without livestock and with someone who understands the needs and instincts of extra-large breeds.

Nana's current owner is moving out of the country, and because Nana was originally adopted from our rescue, we are committed to helping her find the right home once again. This isn't about simply finding her another place to live-we want to find her people.

Her perfect home will be experienced with extra-large breeds and genuinely understands what it means to love a giant dog. Nana needs someone who appreciates her size, gives her plenty of room to be herself, and wants a loyal, loving companion by their side.

She is truly a beauty and an absolute love. Nana has so much love to give, and we can't wait to see her land exactly where she belongs.

The Anatolian Shepherd is a large and powerful ancient breed known for its loyalty, intelligence, and protective nature. Originating in Turkey, these dogs were bred to guard livestock from predators, showcasing their strong natural instincts. Anatolian Shepherds have a distinctive short double coat that comes in various colors, with a black mask common on their faces. They require early socialization and consistent training to manage their independent yet devoted temperament effectively.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
