Australian Shepherd and Great Pyrenees Dogs Available for Adoption

Junco was found stray covered in mud in the outskirts of Woodland. He had no identification or microchip and no one has come to claim him. He can be a bit shy when we try to leash him for walks but his love for treats always wins him over and he cooperates so gently.He is built like a jumbo Australian Shepherd with just a little nubbin for a tail, but has the size and floof of a Great Pyrenees. He has an EXCELLENT `heel` on walks with zero pulling. He even slows down to match your pace and will sometimes even press his big floofy body against your legs during the walk.Junco is somewhat alert when he sees other dogs and turkeys when walking around the shelter, but he has not barked and does not try to pull or lunge. Instead, he presses closer to you to make sure everyone is OK before continuing on his walk.Schedule an appointment to meet Junco at yoloshelter.org/dogs or email adopt@yoloshelter.org
