Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (medium coat). Meet Phoebe! She is a sweet badger girl rescued from a local shelter. Born around January 2022, she is fully grown and weighs a petite 65 pounds. Phoebe is submissive and a little shy when people approach her, but she will walk right up to anybody on her own for pets and loving. Phoebe is good with other dogs, and will usually submit to a more dominant dog. She enjoys playing with larger dogs, and leaves little dogs alone. She would be good as an only dog if she has other dogs to play with on occasion. She is good on a leash, but would do well in a harness because she has a tendency to pull. She rides well in a car if she can look out the window. Phoebe is not a fan of grooming. Phoebe is very afraid of loud noises like thunder and fireworks, so she needs a little nook to hide in when she feels compelled. She’s a very vigilant guard dog, keeping all the pesky squirrels and birds out of her yard. Phoebe is a very loving girl just waiting for the right home. SPIN Pyrs are all in foster homes in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Adoption fees are $300 for dogs under 1 year old, $250 for dogs 1-7 years old, $200 for dogs over 7 years old. Potential adopters are asked to make travel arrangements if they live elsewhere. All SPIN dogs are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations and on heartworm prevention.

Overview:
The Great Pyrenees is a majestic and ancient breed, originating in the Pyrenean mountains between France and Spain, where they served as formidable livestock guardians. Physically, they are large, powerful dogs, easily recognized by their thick, double coat, typically white (though sometimes marked with badger, grey, or tan), and a distinctive "double dewclaw" on their hind legs. Despite their imposing size, their temperament is generally calm, gentle, and remarkably patient, making them excellent companions. They possess a natural protectiveness, which translates to a watchful eye over their families and property. While loving and tolerant with children, their size and barking tendencies make them less suited for small apartment living; a home with a yard is ideal. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, patellar luxation, and certain eye conditions, emphasizing the importance of responsible breeding. Their independent nature also means they require consistent, positive reinforcement training.
