Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (medium coat). So often when a family splits up it's the kids or animals that suffer the most, this was the case for Peanut. When his family split, he was suddenly spending his days alone, and suffered from separation anxiety. Peanut then found himself surrendered to the shelter. After several weeks of sharing his post, his heroes found him, his foster family! Peanut is currently in a foster home in Southern Utah with 2 fluffy siblings and wonderful humans! His foster dad works from home so he is rarely alone. Peanut is very new to our rescue and we will update his progress as his family works with him on his anxiety.

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.
