Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Meet Duke – A Gentle Soul Seeking Safety and Trust One-year-old Duke has already been through more than any dog should. After being abandoned, he ended up in a shelter where the stress was overwhelming, and he completely shut down. Thankfully, Duke is now with us and beginning to decompress in a calm, loving environment where he’s learning that he’s finally safe. Duke is a sensitive boy who needs a patient, experienced family—someone familiar with Great Pyrenees and rescue dogs who understand that healing takes time. Loud noises, kennels, and feeling trapped or cornered can be scary for him right now, so a quiet home with gentle structure will help him continue to blossom at his own pace. We don’t yet know how Duke feels about kids or cats, but we do know he deserves a family who will see past his fears and give him the stability, safety, and unconditional love he’s been missing. With time and understanding, we believe this sweet boy will come out of his shell and show the loyal, gentle heart typical of his breed. If you have the experience and compassion to help a sensitive soul learn to trust again, Duke may be the one waiting for you.

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.
