Hi,Everyone!
I am really very excited to have found this forum! I am so very, very proud to be the mommy of a wonderful, incredible new family member, Balthazar! We call him Balthie for short.
We adopted Balthazar from a rescue organization that practices no-kill care for animals in need. Our Balthie, young pup as he was, had been through 3 or 4 temporary homes in his short little lifetime already before he finally settled on adopting US as his loving forever home! The rescue organization we worked with (Animal Action Rescue of Atlanta, Georgia...a WONDERFUL group) was fortunate enough to gain a clear background history to SOME extent on our sweet Balthie. He is half Newfoundland (dad) and half Great Pyrenees (mom), and PURE LOVE I tell you! Balthie had no behavioral or other issues or problems...his only problem was being impulsively selected by the original family who did not have the time or commitment to tend to a giant doggie!
He is now about 17 weeks old and he is absolutely GORGEOUS, vibrant, fun loving, and tender hearted. Can you tell I am in love with him? My husband jokes that I'm going to replace him with Balthazar! LOL We have two other VERY SMALL dogs, and a bunny who thinks he is our fourth dog, LOL! Sorry to ramble on...I'm just very excited to have found a place where I can talk and learn and enjoy sharing about BIG dogs! I very, very deeply appreciate the fact that dogs for sale are not allowed on here...with so many beautiful, friendly, incredible animals in need of loving homes to save them from shelters, this is important!
Love and Puppy Breath,
Jen, "BalthiesMom"
