24-036 Dove came in as a stray in June 2024. Dove is a Great Pyrenees/Golden mix and approximately 3-years-old. She was picked up by a kind woman in South Phoenix who posted her, trying to find her owner. Unable to find Dove’s owner or keep her, she surrendered her to AGR. Dove was placed with a foster in Scottsdale for less than a week, because the foster was too busy to take her to the vet. She was transported back to one of our partner veterinarians to receive needed vetting, vaccinations and bloodwork. After a month, Dove was taken to an adopter and her resident Standard Poodle, Pi, in Phoenix. Hoping this would be her forever home, Dove, now Belle, became friends with Pi after a day. The adopter had an in-house trainer work with Belle. She learned some basic commands, was housetrained and started to settle in her new home. Unfortunately, although on medication, the adopter's allergies started to act up and were attributed to Belle. They say third time's the charm, and after 5 days, Dove/Belle was once again transported to another house. This time Belle found her forever home with an adoptive family in Mesa. Once there, she was busy exploring her new place. A few of the cats came out to visit. Several were gutsy and when they ran, she chased them. After three weeks of settling in, and being spayed, Dove is doing well and getting along better with the cats. Very happy Dove has finally found a great home! The adopter wrote:

Belle is a giant puppy. Very full of love and slobber. She shines best at the dog park when she's interacting with other people and children and dogs from small to large. She fills our house up with love and she's trying her best to make friends with our kitties. Belle is our little slobber monster and we love her.
