Meet Colette! Colette is a Great Pyrenees/Akbash puppy with a heart as big as her fluffy paws. This sweet girl thrives on being close to her people and is happiest when she's right by your side. Whether you're working around the house, relaxing on the couch, or moving from room to room, Colette will happily follow along, keeping you company every step of the way. A true snuggle bug, Colette loves affection and enjoys curling up with her favorite humans whenever she gets the chance. She's a smart young pup who has already learned basic commands and walks nicely on a leash, making her a wonderful companion for daily adventures. Colette would do best in a home with a playful, confident male dog who can serve as a mentor and help show her the ropes. Having a canine companion to play with and learn from would help her continue to blossom. She should not be placed in a home with cats or chickens, and would do best with older children. Colette is looking for a family that will appreciate her loyal nature, gentle companionship, and loving personality. If you're searching for a devoted best friend who wants nothing more than to be part of your daily life, Colette may be the perfect match.

Here's what one of our adopters says about our ability to match dogs:

- "I am not sure what very real MAGIC you have from across the continent, but I really love it. You have done it again! Another love match!- Thank you for four out of five Pyrenees coming from GPRS and each of them have been perfect for us.... And for each other! One month together and Lady is healing and happy. Thank you for all of your very hard work. Keep honing your intuition ... it is spot on!" ....Julie P
