Nimbus - Poodle and Great Pyrenees Dog for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

Meet Nimbus !

When Nimbus first arrived at the shelter, there was a beautiful dog somewhere underneath what looked like one giant, completely dreaded mop! Appropriately named after a cloud, Nimbus was an owner surrender whose family simply didn't have the time for her. Once she was pulled into rescue and groomed, underneath all that matted hair was a completely different dog-and an absolutely beautiful one!

Nimbus spent time living inside a foster home as part of a huge pack before making her way to The Asher House! That time in a home gave us the chance to learn a lot about this girl, and there is so much to love!

Nimbus does wonderfully with other dogs and gets along with dogs of all shapes and sizes! She seems to especially find her happy place with smaller dogs and younger puppies. She loves playing with them, seeks out their company, and seems especially comfortable having those little buddies around. Because she enjoys that companionship so much, we think Nimbus would be happiest in a home with another friendly dog!

Nimbus is also very smart and really wants to please! She's attentive to her person, eager to learn, and seems to genuinely care about figuring out what you're asking of her. She's house trained and kennel trained and will go right into her kennel, giving her a wonderful foundation for life with her future family!

And once Nimbus decides you're her person, she really loves her person! She becomes very attached, wants to stay close, and is incredibly affectionate. She has a very gentle, easy temperament and would do well with kids ages 5 and older. We have not had Nimbus around cats yet, so at this time, we don't know how she would do with a feline friend.

At around 40 pounds, Nimbus is currently a little thin and could stand to gain some weight. With good food, continued care, and plenty of love, we expect this already gorgeous girl to fill out beautifully!

Nimbus went from an unrecognizable, matted little cloud to this beautiful, smart, affectionate girl who has shown us just how ready she is for family life! She's young, playful, eager to please, and now waiting at The Asher House for the person-and hopefully a dog friend-who will make her part of the family!

Nimbus' adoption fee is $295 and she is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.
