merino

If you've been dreaming of a big, fluffy livestock guardian dog, your flock has arrived!

Lambchop, Suffolk, Merino, and Dorset are four beautiful sisters, approximately 3 months old and already around 20+ pounds. These girls came from a farm in Lancaster, where an accidental breeding resulted in puppies being kept in poor conditions. When we learned about their situation, we didn't hesitate to bring them into rescue and give them the fresh start they deserved.

Their parents are a Maremma Sheepdog and a Great Pyrenees, two breeds known for producing intelligent, loyal, and devoted companions with a strong sense of purpose. These puppies are expected to grow into large dogs and will thrive with adopters who understand and appreciate livestock guardian breeds.

While they're still playful puppies, their heritage shines through. Guardian breeds are known for their independent spirit, strong protective instincts, and deep loyalty to their families. They are incredibly smart dogs who often like to think for themselves, making them wonderful companions for the right homes. They tend to form close bonds with their people while remaining watchful, confident, and naturally protective.

Like all puppies, they will need continued socialization, training, patience, and guidance as they grow into well-rounded adults. In return, you'll gain a devoted companion who will stand by your side for years to come.

And one final note: please don't judge these girls by their muddy photos! With the recent rain and muddy playyards, keeping four fluffy white puppies clean is nearly impossible. They receive regular baths and grooming to keep them looking their best, but it seems they've decided mud baths are much more fun. We gave up trying to win that battle!

They will come spayed, with age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped.
