FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED Meet Ninja! Ninja is a 1-year-old, 76 lb Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix who came to us as a stray from an overcrowded shelter in CA. This magnificent, fluffy boy is as striking as he is sweet ~ and yes, he’s often walking around with his tongue sticking out, adding to his goofy charm! Ninja is playful, bouncy, and full of big-dog energy. He’s treat-motivated and eager to engage, but he is still very much a large, adolescent pup who needs continued work on basic obedience and manners. He can be jumpy and mouthy when excited, so he will need a confident, experienced handler who understands large breeds and can provide structure, consistency, and training. Because of his size, strength, and activity level, Ninja will do best with someone who has large-breed experience and can comfortably handle a strong dog. He would thrive in a home with a large, securely fenced yard — ideally in a more rural setting outside the city, as that’s what he’s used to. He would love to go hiking, explore, and have space to roam and stretch those long legs. That said, he also has a chill side and enjoys hanging out with his people once he’s had proper exercise. Ninja can be dog selective and does show some reactivity, so continued socialization work will be important. He would do best either as an only dog or in a home with a female dog of similar size. He would do best in a home without cats. Underneath all that size and fluff is a total sweetheart and a bit of a lovable dope ~ affectionate, silly, and deeply loyal. He’s a lot of dog, but for the right home, he’s going to be an absolutely incredible companion. If you’re looking for a stunning, big-hearted adventure partner and have the experience to help guide him, Ninja may be your perfect match! Ninja is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $500.
