Blanche came to us when we didn’t have a foster available for her so she spent a few days in boarding and is now coming around in the loving hands of her foster mom. She is a very special girl with some emotional abandonment trauma that she is overcoming.
Blanche was purchased from a breeder and a year later was rehomed. Fast forward, 7 years later (thank goodness for microchips) she was returned to that owner after a phone call from a shelter that Blanche would be euthanized due to lack of space if she wasn’t picked up. She was extremely emaciated, matted/covered with fleas and ticks, fearful and most likely used as a breeder dog . The original owner couldn’t keep her and…that face…her story…her journey…we knew we had to help her!
Blanche is the sweetest dog with so much love to give! She is eight years old, potty trained, likes to play with her foster fur siblings and loves to cuddle and snuggle. Blanche is still a little confused about where she belongs and latches on quickly to those showing her TLC. She is a stunning, Great Pyrenees with a silly haircut due to being shaved. Blanche needs a loving forever home and family where she can gain the confidence that she will never again be abandoned.
She is the bestest girl! To adopt sweet Blanche, apply to: www.greatpyreneesadvocatesoftexas.org
