Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Meet Jamie! Jamie is a friendly, low energy, 6 yr old, 85 pounds, male Great Pyrenees. He is a medical rescue that came to SPIN Rescue struggling with an upper respiratory infection, very dry/flaky skin, coat issues, and heartworms. He has since recovered and his coat has come in beautifully. He is currently on heartworm slow-kill treatment, which SPIN Rescue will provide his adopters with medications to continue treating. Jamie is a very lazy dog that loves to lay around and be comfortable whenever he has the chance. He loves to be petted and his favorite position is laying down showing his belly for belly rubs. He loves to lounge around by doorways to do his job of being a speed bump. Jamie loves kids and did well when tested with children, even the little ones. He is very sweet and calm. He is fearful of new dogs and has had issues where he was bit/attacked by other dogs in the past. He is currently in a foster home with 7 other large dogs and after some training, is doing great with all of them. He does not have any food aggression issues. Jamie is house trained, crate trained, and prefers to have his own safe space. He gets nervous in the car, although is slowly improving. He does bark some outside at strangers and loud noises, especially sirens. He loves walks but doesn't need an excessive amount of exercise due to his low energy levels. He could even be a good apartment dog. One of his main struggles is his fear of slick floors. This is slowly improving but he definitely prefers carpet and rugs in his home. Think this sweet lazy guy would be a perfect fit for your home? Apply to become a SPIN adopter and we would love to put you in touch with his foster family to arrange a meet. Get started at .SpinRescue Jamie is currently in a foster home in DFW, Texas. Out of state adopters are responsible for arranging transport on their own. His adoption fee is $250. Jamie is neutered and up to date on vaccines.

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.
