As a small nonprofit with limited resources, we’re tied to our mission: rescuing the abandoned and abused working dogs that otherwise would never even see a home or shelter. That said, we do our best to provide education and opportunity for owners currently looking to manage or re-home their Pyrenees/Akbash.

ABOUT LADY
Oh sweet Lady. She first came to us from her mama, Indie. And since then an unfortunate series of events have brought back to us after months of being away. She is desperately seeking dedication and patience and a big heart.
She is an absolute gem with her people, her home, and her toys. She is the best snuggler, a very good girl, and is currently learning how to be less reactive on the leash (she is an excellent walker!). Indie and her pups have been through a-lot in a young and short amount of time-with a little patience and a lot of love she is an incredibly smart and adaptive dog, not to mention she is a beautiful and funny girl!
PLEASE REACH OUT TODAY TO TALK ABOUT LADY. She’ll grab your heart and won’t let go.

ABOUT indie
Indie, Indie, Indie-It had been quite the journey of this young guardian. Rescued at 10 Months, abandoned, wandering dehydrated and underfed. She soon opened up and made friends quickly here at Unega-at this point her only aggression was during feeding; so often as we do, we simply fed her separate. And then she was adopted! She headed off to the midwest and then she gave birth within 48 hours! Surprise pups arrived and the adopters were adamant they had spots for each puppy and all as well has they grew toward 8 weeks, but suddenly they demanded we take all FOUR dogs back. No prior issues, and then boom all were back at Unega. And they all came back almost in a feral state-the adopters were locking them away, not training, not taking proper care, and not communicating with us.
Indie waited as each of her kids were adopted and fostered, and then she was too…again! Yet, within three weeks the family could not and did not want to take the time for what Indie needs; so yet again she was let down and our hearts breaks.
Indie is cuddly, a love bug, and an incredibly smart guardian. Indie is also reactive and her triggers vary. She will pull and bark on a leash when certain dogs pass, she will bark at specific cars, and she will bark through the windows at all the things her instincts are telling her to do so. She especially loves chasing birds out of her yards and surveying her lands.
Her next adopter must be ready for A LOT OF LOVE and the ability and patience to help Indie become her true self; something she hasn’t gotten to fully show yet.
Please reach out, we’d love to discuss Indie in more detail with you!

ABOUT WINNIE
Hi! I’m Winnie! I’m a 6 year old spayed female Great Pyrenees, and I’m looking for my furever home. I have been doing very well with my foster family and my foster kiddo too! I love long naps, being brushed, watching movies, and of course eating snacks! I would do best in a home that is prepared to have me close by as I am a guardian breed and always want to be with my family. I will need to be an only dog, but I do get along with livestock. I do have a common condition known as hypothyroidism which is easily managed with medication from my friends at the vet. I’m a very sweet and affectionate girl who is very excited to spend forever by your side!

MILLIE & RANGER

AGE: 2-3 YEARS
GENDER: FEMALE & MALE BONDED PAIR
BREED: GREAT PYRENEES/AKBASH
GOOD WITH KIDS: YES
HOBBIES: WRESTLING, BIRD WATCHING, STICK COLLECTION, TUG OF WAR
ABOUT MILLIE & RANGER
Oh Millie and Ranger! Such a bonded and resilient pair. We have had them at the rescue for over 5 months and they are SO ready to have a loving and patient home. They are both around two years old, and have grown with great strides since arriving here.
Millie is shy, a goof with the softest belly, and when she shows you love; boy oh boy is she so warmhearted and tender. She was tossed from a van, and we were able to get her to us. Timid at first, we watch her, as she protects Ranger and their section; flushing birds and securing their area. She runs with toys and has Ranger chase her, the mud splashing her face. And if she gets scared, she lays beside Ranger: safe, secure, loved by more than anything she has known.
Now Mr. Ranger…he is total love bug. After getting word of a working dog with a twisted foot, we stepped into action and got him to the rescue safely. As a pup, he was most likely injured and the bones fused; now as a strong two-year old, he is not phased by his injury. He grew up with it and does anything and everything he wants. He jumps in the air like no other, flips toys to no end, and always…ALWAYS appreciates a dedicated belly rub and leg massage.
Together, they are the most amazing duo. They go to each other for comfort, warmth, guidance. They play together all day, no weather can keep them back. And when they sleep, it is often cheek to cheek; as ONE. They are their own protectors. They are whole after lives of unknown abuse, conditions, and never knowing love.
If Millie & Ranger speak to you, please reach out. They are ready for their home. They really are.
HOPE & DAKOTA
QUICK FACTS
AGE: 2-3 YEARS
GENDER: FEMALE & MALE BONDED PAIR
SPAY/NEUTEURED: YES
BREED: GREAT PYRENEES/AKBASH
GOOD WITH KIDS: YES
HOBBIES: CHASING BIRDS, FLIPPING TOYS, AND CATCHING MICE
ABOUT HOPE & DAKOTA
Hope and Dakota came to us from two separate situations. Roughly 2-3 year old Hope was surrendered by a rancher in Utah after a couple years of harsh conditions and an unknown amount of litters. We were able to get her to Unega, and around the same time we moved Mr. Dakota into the same section with her.
Dakota came from the Buhl farm with Lalaei and Cal. Dakota is around a year and a half old and was the first of his group to allow us to pet him. He has really grown since arriving here at Unega, and with Hope they are truly a remarkable pair.
Hope and Dakota have made incredible strides together over the past couple months. They run and play together. Shred toys and love treats. Dakota is a very silly boy and isn’t so much into his guardian behaviors as Hope is. He loves a good pet in time, and has a very calm, curious demeanor about him. Hope is slower to be open to touch, and we are working with them both daily to socialize them to what it means to be loved and cared for properly.
These two have bonded deeply and we would love for them to stay together!
We would love to hear from you if you believe this pair would be a great fit in your life.
lalaei & Cal
QUICK FACTS
AGE: LALAEI 5/6 YEARS CAL 2 YEARS
GENDER: FEMALE & MALE BONDED PAIR
BREED: GREAT PYRENEES/AKBASH
GOOD WITH KIDS: YES
HOBBIES: SNUGGLING, RUNNING, COZY NAPS, AND WRESTLING
ABOUT LALAEI & CAL
Lalaei and Cal have been on quite the journey together since rescuing them from Buhl. Lalaei, 5-6 years old, was pregnant when we trapped her. And we believe Cal, 1.5-2 years old, to be hers from a previous litter. As we got her and Cal safely back to Unega, they soon escaped and were gone for over 10 days. Nicole was able to trap them and we got them safely back.
These two are quite the pair and have come a long way since leaving their traumatic and horrific lives. Lalaei carried to term, nursed them well, and we have now adopted out her five pups! She is very sweet, calm, and protective- she will hover over Cal-and she love LOVES treats.
Cal was very slow to open up, he kept to himself and was unsure what treats and attention were. He was cautious, and then curious, and now while he still keeps his distance, we have watched him blossom. He rolls on the grass and throws his toys around. He now loves treats and gets real up close when you have some. He is coming closer to more frequent touch each time we visit him.
We are earning both Lalaei and Cal’s trust every day. Lalaei loves being rubbed now. As long as you approach her slowly she welcomes touch and head scratches. Cal will let you do short quick rubs. It’s great to see the confidence.
Please let us know if these two are of interest.
