About

Meet Slate

Meet Slate!  Slate was part of the large PNW rescue and came into rescue with his mother Ruby and brother Granite.  DNA test shows he is 70% Pyrenees and mixed with Maremma/Akbash/Anatolian and just for fun, 2% Husky! Slate likes to play with his foster sister but can also hang back a bit and observe. He’s vocal despite his more laid back personality. He’s not interested in being on the couches and perfectly happy in his doggie bed.   He likes attention and is learning that snuggles are great!   His first several weeks he lived on a farm and was exposed to goats and horses.  Slate is definitely treat motivated which will help with positive reinforcement when training.  He’s good on walks, learning that a crate is okay, and is still very much a puppy.  He will need a confident med-large mentor dog in the home as he definitely follows a positive leader.  He’s shy at first but it doesn’t take him long to warm up.  Slate is being fostered in the PNW and can be transported within OR-WA.  Adopters in other Western states must provide their own transport.
