Anatolian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Woolwich, Maine

Sweet Bunnie came into the shelter with her siblings from a hoarding situation. That being said, she hasn't been shown much love or attention in her short life and we hope to turn that around. She's shy and sweet but, as a puppy, will come out of her shell pretty quickly once she's in a loving home. She's around 4 months old and we believe she is possibly Anatolian Shepherd mixed with something else, so will likely be on the larger side when full grown. As a puppy, she will need a family home more often than not and a family that is committed to all of the puppy things: potty training, crate training, leash training, basic commands, etc; She deserves a loving home where she is part of the family and gets to be included on family adventures and snuggle with her people at the end of the day. She is currently in AL but will be coming to Maine in mid-May.

If you think you might be interested in adopting Bunnie or just want to get pre-approved to adopt through us, please fill out an application on our website. Approvals are valid for one year and you will not have the waiting period of an application if you see a dog that you like! Approved adopters are placed on our email list for each transport and receive our Google slides that we send to all pre-approved adopters before posting on Petfinder and our social media and are eligible to attend our meet and greet events.
