Sheldon - Great Pyrenees and Anatolian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Ready for a new family member? PACA is pre-screening now for their October 3rd debut, when they will be 7 weeks old. Mom is a very sweet-tempered Great Pyrenees, possibly an Anatolian Shepherd mix. Penny, Lenny, and Shelden, named after The Big Bang Theory TV show, were born on August 13! We don't know who the dad(s) were; Momma Tillie was left to fend for herself on a farm when her owners abandoned all the dogs. Tillie will also be up for adoption after she is fully vetted, but she is still nursing puppies!

If you're interested in meeting Sheldon, come to our adoption event on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month from 11am-2pm, located at 6300 San Mateo NE in the south Sprouts parking lot.

Alternatively, we can arrange a Private Meet-and-Greet with the foster parent and your household with a completed application.
