BEAR - GREAT PYRENEES (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (medium coat). Meet Bear! This gorgeous boy was born around April 2023 and weighs a healthy 75 pounds; he may gain a few more pounds as he fills out. Bear is good-natured, very loving, and loves to play. He is sometimes silly and rambunctious. He loves to be petted, and will go right up to his favorite people to get his massive head petted. Bear loves people and did well when tested with children. He has been known to get overexcited and jumpy with adults when he is playing or greeting excitedly. For this reason, caution should be taken when introducing Bear to a new home and new people. After first being rescued, Bear displayed some food aggression and resource guarding issues and got into an altercation with another dog. After some training and much needed discipline, he is doing great and thriving in a home with seven other large dogs. Because of Bear’s history, it is recommended he go to a home without any other dominant males to ensure a peaceful and happy transition. He has a low to moderate amount of energy, and enjoys playing with some of his favorite foster doggy siblings. He could even be a good apartment dog, assuming there is room and he is allowed due to his size. He is leash trained and loves going outside for walks. However, he would not be appropriate for dog parks because he can be aggressive towards certain dogs. Bear is very well house trained. He is crate trained and does great hanging out in his crate while his foster dad is away at work. He does well in the car and is a calm and patient boy most of the time. Bear barks outside at strangers and loud noises. He is heartworm positive and is receiving treatment and is in great health otherwise. SPIN will cover his continued heartworm treatment if he is adopted prior to completion. 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. Please go to our website .SpinRescue and fill out an application for this great Great Pyrenees!
