ALBUS 1433 - GREAT PYRENEES / GOLDEN RETRIEVER / MIXED (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees / Golden Retriever / Mixed (long coat). Adoption Fee: $400. Meet Albus, a 1-year-old Great Pyrenees mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart! Weighing around 60 pounds, Albus is young, curious, and ready to learn what it means to be someone’s best friend. Albus is currently in a foster home, where he’s working hard on potty training and learning basic manners. His foster is helping him not to lunge at cars on walks, and he’s making steady progress with patient, positive guidance. He can be a bit mouthy when he gets excited, but he’s eager to please and loves earning praise. He’s okay in a crate and learning to settle when it’s time to rest. Albus came to us from a shelter with a short tail, likely the result of a previous amputation or self-mutilation, but it doesn’t slow him down one bit — he still wiggles with happiness when he sees his people! At the shelter, Albus tested well with other dogs, and we think he’d enjoy having a canine friend to play with. We’re not sure how he feels about cats, so introductions should be done carefully. When he’s not in the mood to play, Albus is a total snugglebug who loves cuddling on the couch or sleeping in bed with his people. He truly enjoys being close and part of the family. Because he’s still learning and can be strong on leash, Albus will do best with a confident, active person who can guide him and manage him on walks. A fenced yard is preferred, as he enjoys exploring and having a safe space to stretch his legs. He was never taught commands before rescue, but he’s now learning to sit and starting to understand what’s required to be a “good boy.” If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who’s ready for a fresh start and eager to make you proud, Albus might be the perfect match for you.
