About Pinecone

Pinecone is a sweet, gentle giant at just 10 months old, weighing 58 lbs. While she may have some Great Pyrenees influence in her mix, her kindness shines through. Initially fearful of people, she's blossomed in her foster home and now enjoys cuddling on the couch and seeking head scratches. She gets along well with other dogs and has shown a gentle temperament around my grandchildren, aged 7 and 5. Though she still startles at loud noises, she’s potty trained and knows how to communicate her needs by heading to the door. A calm environment with another dog would be ideal for her as she continues to build confidence. Pinecone loves the outdoors, exploring her surroundings and playing with items like Kongs filled with peanut butter. With a little time and patience, she’ll fit harmoniously into her forever home. This lovely girl has a lot of love to share! Click apply to start the adoption process.
