(We will pre-approve one home to meet per dog.) Igloo is a 7 month old Great Pyrenees who we rescued along with mom Aurora and her brother and sister. She's in the 40+ lbs range right now and has quite a bit of gaining weight to do, so we expect her to be an XL-sized dog when full grown, as is typical of her breed. Her family was rescued from the meat markets in Korea. XL breeds are often highly sought after for their meat. These four were saved from that fate! Igloo is a sweet girl who is slowly adjusting to life in a home. She's a bit playful and really enjoys kongs and other treats she can chew on. As an oversized puppy, she can be a bit of a counter-surfer, so she'll need some training around that. Although she's not a fan of the process of having her leash hooked onto her, she enjoys going on walks and gets along well with both people and dogs alike. She had a few pottying accidents the first couple days in her foster home but now seems to have gotten the routine down and is doing well on that front. She sleeps at the foot of her foster's bed but can be a bit restless at night. While she might get up and move around, she's not a barker and doesn't disturb her fosters during the night. She's a smart girl and picks up on rules quickly but will need a home that's ready to establish boundaries and do some puppy training for sure! As she is still a puppy, she will require training and we will be looking for homes with a training plan in place. Igloo is only an option for a home that has owned a dog in the last 3 years and is only an option for children over the age of 8 who are also knock-over-proof and dog savvy. Priority will be given to those who have had XL dog experience and understands their unique needs.
