About Cupcake

Cupcake is a wonderful female dog who was rescued from a high-kill shelter where she faced an uncertain fate. She ended up there due to domestic violence in her previous home, along with over 10 other Great Pyrenees mixes. In her foster home, Cupcake has shown herself to be great to be around. She is already potty trained—though new situations might lead to occasional accidents—and crate trained. She's good with other dogs and has also done well with cats. It's important for potential adopters to understand that Cupcake comes from livestock guardian breeds, which may have specific characteristics not suited for every household. This loving girl will need regular professional grooming every few weeks and daily brushing as well. Cupcake is arriving in Michigan and will be ready to meet her approved adopter on October 17th!
