Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Online Adoption Application › Athena is a beautiful 1.5-year-old Great Pyrenees with the classic sweetness and loyalty the breed is known for. She absolutely loves people and thrives on human companionship—whether it’s getting affection, lounging nearby, or simply being part of the family. Athena does best as the only female dog in the home. She is comfortable around male dogs but is not a good match for homes with other female dogs. Because of her breed traits—independence, strong guarding instincts, and a need for confident guidance—she will do best with someone who has prior experience with Great Pyrenees or other livestock guardian breeds. She’d love a home that understands her need for gentle structure, regular exercise, and a secure yard where she can safely enjoy keeping watch. With the right adopter, Athena will be an incredibly loyal, devoted companion and a wonderful addition to a breed-savvy household. Athena’s Ideal Home: Experienced Great Pyrenees (or similar breed) owner No other female dogs Fine with male dogs People-loving, family-friendly environment Secure fencing recommended Athena is ready to find a confident, loving home where she can truly shine!

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.
