Mutt of the Week: Topher

Meet Topher!

In April, Underdog Animal Rescue and Rehab received our resident big friendly giant: Topher. Topher is a good sheep dog whose family moved away from the Navajo Nation and left their dogs behind. Neighbors cared for Topher and she protected their sheep until Underdog could come help.

When Topher arrived, staff was in awe of her grace and simple nature. Despite her large size, she is so gentle and quiet. After a couple of days though, we figured out that Topher isn’t just a mellow dog: she is deaf. We tested her hearing and found out that she was unable to hear in both ears.

Topher is ready to go to a home where she can live out the rest of her doggy days. She is spayed and fully vaccinated. Topher loves other dogs but is protective of her home and has a loud bark. Topher is a Great Pyrenees mix and is 70 pounds. She is doing better on the leash, but still needs practice. Do you think Topher could be  a good fit for you? Contact us to come meet Topher at 435-260-8033 or put in an application on our website www.underdogrescuemoab.org.
