Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (medium coat). Meet Dolly! Born around February of 2023, this calm and gentle girl is fully grown and healthy at 60 pounds. Dolly was found surviving on her own in field, was emaciated and distrusting of humans. She has made wonderful strides in foster care. She now relishes indoor living, loves seeing her people and getting attention from them, and her coat is coming back beautifully. She can be shy with new people, especially men. She avoids people she doesn’t know, so she may take a little time to get used to her forever family. With their loving, patient care, she will become relaxed and comfortable just has she has in her foster home. Sweet Dolly thrives in the company of people and dogs. She should never be left home alone without people or other dogs, because she becomes very anxious and will cause herself health issues. She loves having large playful doggy companions. She just needs a little time to learn to trust them, then she loves romping and playing with them outside and lounging with them inside. She has done well when being introduced to new dogs and has gone to dog parks without issues. Dolly is house trained and does very well waiting to go outside. She comes inside relatively quickly when called, especially when she can see other dogs listening and going in. She is leash trained and loves going for walks. She has been on a few car rides and has done well. Dolly is not crate trained and should not be confined in one. She will hurt herself trying to escape it. She has a low amount of energy; she will play some but for the most part enjoys lounging around in the home or backyard. When outside, she barks sometimes at strangers or loud noises. 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.
