one in less than 8 hours!!
Meet Bravo! He was born on 7/22/18 and is already such a smart puppy for his young age! He knows how to sit, leave it, go to bed, and comes when called (most of the time)!
He came into rescue as an owner surrender at around 4 months old and only 25 pounds. He is currently a little over 6 months old and a skinny 55 pounds! You can bet that this handsome boy will likely reach 100 pounds easily!
Bravo's foster parents did a DNA test on him to satisfy their curiosity of his unique coloring, and surprisingly he is 75% Great Pyrenees mixed with White Swiss Shepherd!
He is an absolute love bug and likes to be around his humans all the time. We would caution against him around small children, as his puppy exuberance can get the better of him at times.
He definitely thrives off the guidance of his older fluffy foster brothers and sisters, so his forever home should have the same. He loves other dogs of all sizes although a little timid at first.
He is okay with cats, and by okay, we mean he chases them for fun and the cats let him.
Along with his other fabulous manners, Bravo is crate trained and rides very well in a car. He is working on perfecting his leash manners and is nearly finished with his house training. While pretty unusual for a Pyrenees, Bravo plays fetch!
He can be super silly! One of his signature tricks is turning his food dish upside-down and playing hockey with it around the floor!
Bravo says that he requires a super fluffy bed and lots of toys, especially ropes and rubber flavored bones (his words, not ours)!
You’ll love petting those big, soft, amazing floppy ears! Then you can indulge his favorite activity – tummy rubs!
