enees. He weighs about 92 pounds and is now Heartworm Negative. Comments from his foster home: Everest/Rajah is almost perfect! He loves people, other dogs, children, rides, walks/runs. Loves to go to Home Depot, Lowes, and Tractor Supply to meet and greet whoever is there. He gets so excited to go places and meet new friends. He is neutered, has had no accidents in the house. Although he does not like to be left home alone, when he is alone, he won't cause a problem. He sleeps most of the day, if he has at least 30 minutes of walking/running in the morning. He is not aggressive, and he will patiently wait for his food and treats. Everest/Rajah's tender side: He is scared by thunderstorms, fireworks, or the possibility of a storm sometime during a day or night. If he is outside, and he hears or thinks he hears "a storm coming", he will bolt and jump like a deer over any fence, including a 6' fence. After clearing the fence, he will go to the closest house, car, human being he can find, and wants to be with them. He will not come when called at that time, however, he will jump in the van if you say "Ride?". So the moral of that tender side story is: Never ever leave him outside unattended, which is something that one should never do anyway! All GPAT dogs are to be inside only companion dogs, and not livestock guardian dogs. Adoption Criteria (adult 1-8 years) 1. Texas Adopters are preferred, as GPAT doesn't have the resources or volunteer support to adopt out of Texas at this time. 2. Adoption Fee: $375.00 (includes vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test). 3. We only adopt out companion dogs that will be considered part of the family and will be primarily inside dogs. 4. Preference is for applicants to have some knowledge and experience with the Great Pyrenees breed. Specific information about the breed will be shared during the interview/virtual home visit. 5. Secure and visible fencing is required. In a very few cases, fencing options will be considered based on the specific needs of a particular dog. 6. Preference is for applicants willing to provide "positive" training to adopted dogs. 7. All current pets in adoptive homes should be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
