About Waffles

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Waffles arrived at the rescue in rough shape—shut down, struggling with a respiratory infection, and very thin.

This gorgeous long-coated, white and cream Great Pyrenees is around 2 years old and has shown some unique skills—he’s ever-watchful for crows, hawks, and owls, so he might have had a stint as a chicken guard dog! Waffles thrives on being pampered and brushed, and he knows some basic commands. He’ll do best as the only dog in the household or with one female dog companion. Waffles is ready for both indoor and outdoor living where he can enjoy the comforts of a good home as well as stretches of nature. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
