About Artemis

Artemis is a calm, affectionate Shepherd and Great Pyrenees mix with a laid-back spirit and a loyal streak. At four years old, she’s the type to follow her person around the house, then settle in for some serious couch-time once you’re home. Artemis has gentle manners, waits patiently for treats, and is happy to show off her sit when asked. She’s fully house trained and spends her time free-roaming at home, quietly waiting for her person to come back if they have to step out. Artemis thrives as the only pet in the home and is looking for a quiet environment where she can be the center of attention. A private yard is important for her—she’s easily overwhelmed on city walks and would love to spend more time outdoors in a space that’s entirely her own. Even better if she gets a taste of rural life. Artemis is spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready for a peaceful forever home with someone who appreciates a low-key companion and daily cuddles. Every animal’s sun sign brings something special—Artemis, born in April, is an Aries, so don’t be surprised if she has a quietly confident side once she feels safe. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
