Harry, Great Pyrenees mix

Harry is a handsome male Great Pyrenees mix being kept at Needy Paws Rescue.

Harry is happy to keep company with other dogs. Fear not: He's already house-trained. Harry has been vaccinated and neutered.

Harry's current caretakers say:

Harry is a 95-pound Great Pyrenees. He will look more like his true breed once his fur has grown back. His coat will need to be brushed to keep it mat free as it grows out. We are told Harry is afraid of storms. He has only been in his foster home for a few days, and he has been a very good boy. He seems to enjoy attention from humans. Harry definitely prefers to be indoors with his humans than outside.

Niko, dachshund mix

Niko is a social butterfly — he'll get along great with other dogs. He has mastered his house-training etiquette. Niko is already neutered, and he has had all his shots.

Here's what Niko's friends at Needy Paws Rescue think of him:

Niko is very friendly with humans and wants to be at your side all the time. He has low-to-medium energy and would benefit from indoor fetch and cuddle time. He likes to jump up on the couch and be next to you. Niko will be your best friend the minute he meets you. His tail is constantly wagging, and he will put a smile on your face any time of the day.

A poem from Whopper:

Hello, my name is Whopper; I'm not a malted sweet. Instead, I am the bestest boy — gonna sweep you off your feet.

My head is large; my heart is bigger; I love to go on walks. If you think I'm strong, you are not wrong, but do not do a balk. 

I'm worth the work, so come and meet me — I will not disappoint. We'll be best friends, until the end; King of canines — me — you will anoint.
