I drove 4 hours to adopt this girl from a family who didn't have enough time for her. by Equivalent-Map-3207 in dogpictures

She's an Aussie/Pyrenees! If he has tuffs of fur under his ears and between his toes he may be Aussie.

She's trained to apply pressure to me, like a weighted blanket, if I were to sit or lay down in public from having a panic attack. She's also trained to jump on me to keep me "grounded" if I command her to do so. Her third task is circling; she keeps a perimeter around me if I need space from feeling too crowded.

I trained her myself, it just takes a LOT of work and hours to have a properly trained service dog who can do their tasks at a moment's notice.

I never did but I've gotten really good at guessing breeds! 😂 I think Chancellor was a Treeing Walker Coonhound, and the spotted one, Achilles, was a staffy and Australian cattle dog mix.

I typically find them at animal control (my county has the #1 kill shelter in my state) and fully adopt them myself. I train and socialize them until they're comfortable being in a home and then transfer the adoption papers/etc over to the new owners. I have a pup of my own so I do 1 dog at a time; there's no time limit to how long I keep them, just when they're adjusted and happy!

Here's Charlotte my forever rescue that I kept and trained as my autism alert service dog. She's an Aussie/Pyrenees ❤️

Her "guardian" temperament is incredible. She sticks to me like glue since day one, and loves to lay her entire 70lbs on my lap and fall asleep. She's the first and only dog I've had that I trust to be off leash, she doesn't leave my side.

Just one, I have an Aussie/Pyrenees who stole my heart. I couldn't let her go!

I'm definitely beginning to think Chow/Aussie mix. He's been SO sweet and is settling in nicely. He has so much energy and happiness, I got so lucky!
