About Sheldon — The Gentle

Meet Sheldon — The Gentle One. Some pups burst into your life demanding attention, but Sheldon has a different approach. He strolls into the room, gives you a sweet look, and suddenly you find yourself captivated by his charm. At 5 and a half months old and weighing about 20 pounds, Sheldon is a stunning tricolor Great Pyrenees/Collie mix with a gentle spirit. He’s projected to grow to a manageable size of 45–60 pounds—big enough for cozy cuddles, yet convinced there will always be room beside you on the couch. Sheldon naturally exudes kindness, relishing the chance to meet new faces and joyfully playing with other puppies. He’s almost fully house-trained and walks nicely on a leash, proving himself to be quite the family companion for one so young. His most remarkable trait, however, can't be taught. It’s his soft heart. Sheldon yearns for connection; he desires friends to play with, people to love, and a secure home where he feels he belongs. Right now, Sheldon is unsure of what lies ahead—he doesn't know whose door he’ll one day wait by or which family will soon wonder how they ever lived without him. All he knows is that when offered friendship, he returns it tenfold. He has plenty of growing to do, adventures to embark on, and a lifetime of love waiting to be shared. Sheldon is eager for a home and just waiting for his people to find him. Sheldon is microchipped and fully vaccinated. He will need to be neutered by his adopter before he turns one, but you'll receive a $100 rebate upon completion. This gentle soul would thrive in a dog-loving home that understands he needs a bit of time to adjust. Currently, Sheldon is being fostered at our Rescue Ranch near Houston, TX. Adoption fee is $425.
