About Rhoda

Rhoda is a striking extra-large female Great Pyrenees who came to rescue from a local shelter in San Bernardino, CA. She’s athletic—quick enough to clear a six-foot fence before you can blink. Any adopter will need tall block walls, preferably with coyote rollers, to keep her safe and sound at home. Rhoda does best with large male dogs, but she’d be happiest as the only dog, running her own castle. She has a pushy side that comes out around other females and smaller dogs. Walks on leash are second nature for her. If you’re active and love taking your dog everywhere, she’s a perfect sidekick. Rhoda is looking for a committed adopter who understands her talents and gives her the structure she needs to stay put. Ready to meet Rhoda? Click apply to start the adoption process.
