Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (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.

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.
