Dolan is one of six puppies born to an Akbash mother on a Central Texas ranch, surrounded by goats, longhorn cattle, and working livestock guardian dogs. His father is likely an Akbash or Great Pyrenees. Dolan may thrive as a family companion or future livestock guardian.

Ideal Home

• A home prepared for the needs of a large livestock guardian dog.
• These puppies have been exposed to goats and cattle, but not chickens.
• They have had some exposure to barn cats; proper introductions and supervision are needed for living with house cats.

Ongoing Health

• Three rounds of vaccinations completed.
• Dewormed and given monthly preventives.
• Adoption may begin under a provisional agreement that is finalized after sterilization, as required by Texas law.

Training & Support

• Dolan will need appropriate training and supervision.
• Training may include crate-training and potty-training, as well as guidance through the stages when livestock guardian puppies may treat livestock as playmates.

Application Details

• Applications start by contacting the provider through Wags.
• Adopters should be prepared to follow the provisional adoption agreement through sterilization.
