Appa in KY - Gentle, Laid-back & Playful Girl!

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Appa—friendly, beautiful, and ready to meet you! Are you her loving forever family? This girl came into rescue as a stray, not having any training, and has learned so much! She has a beautiful, long, soft coat which she will patiently let you brush. She has learned that people are wonderful, wagging her tail ready for pets and kind words, and is happy to give the Pyr Paw. Appa has learned to walk nicely on a leash and to go into a crate; if she gets a Nylabone to entertain her.  She has even learned to sit for a treat and is doing great on housebreaking. This girl loves other dogs and playing chase, but will also gladly chill when in the house. She has such a gentle nature and laid-back personality she should be fine with children. The perfect family for Appa should have a secure 5’ fenced yard and a playful canine companion to run, roll around with, and show her how to play with toys. A cat or two would be welcome as well.

Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority. We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding. Please visit Fostering FAQfor an application and information about our fostering program.
