Great Pyrenees and Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Falmouth, Maine

“It’s sooo fluffy!!!” Marshmallow Sky is the last of his siblings in the waiting. He has been fixed, vetted, microchipped, and has received a clean bill of health from our vet. He is currently in search of a permanent address to call his very own, and is anxiously awaiting his chance now that his siblings have all been adopted! This adorable ball of fluff will be gone in a flash.. Please read on for his story, and for instructions on how to request an application for him!

Here is what we know about MARSHMALLOW SKY:

- Marshmallow Sky is about 11 weeks old now, and weighs @ 15lbs.

- Marshmallow Sky's full breed mash up is still a mystery but we do know that he has some Aussie or even some Great Pyrenees and border collie in him based on his appearance and personality traits. Our best guess on size would be medium to large when full grown. He is a rambunctious and playful pup! .

- Marshmallow Sky and his siblings were surrendered along with their momma pup because they could no longer be cared for - since then, they have been growing and thriving in foster care and receiving lots of TLC and playtime. They are all happy, healthy, and lovable pups who will need a family up to the fun challenges of puppyhood!

- Marshmallow Sky is very smart but is very much still a puppy so he will need lots of training and reinforcements to learn proper doggy manners and behavior when he gets to his forever home.

- Marshmallow Sky is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and has received a clean bill of health.

- Marshmallow Sky currently lives happily in his foster home with other dogs and gets along just fine with them. We think he would do fine as an only dog or with a playmate who could handle some puppy playtime!

- There are also cats in Marshmallow's foster home, and he co-habits well with them. Any dog savvy cats who wouldn't be scared of his size or puppy antics should be fine!

- Marshmallow Sky would make a great family dog for kids 5+. He would love to grow up with a family of his own. He is fun and playful, but any young children would need to know how to respect doggy boundaries, especially while he is still a puppy.


What we love about Marshmallow Sky: He is aptly named, and is a big ball of fun!

is Marshmallow Sky the one for you? If so, he's got his doggie bags packed and is ready to make his way home to you! His adoption fee is $650! That covers all of his vetting and care up until the point of adoption.
