Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Meet Winter! He is a 6yr old male Great Pyrenees. Winter was listed as medically urgent with a local shelter, where he was sick with a respiratory infection, underweight, despondent, mostly unresponsive, shaking in fear, and had stopped eating and drinking. Once coming into a SPIN Rescue foster home, he almost immediately started eating, drinking, and making a complete turn around. This amazingly gentle, beautiful soul has slowly opened up in every possible way. He is one of the most loving dogs. He is now a much healthier weight, walks perfectly on a leash, never had an accident in the house, and fits right in with the 4 dogs in his foster home, as well as with new dogs. He is playful, especially with the dogs, and has moments of PURE happiness. Winter now gets really happy when his people come home and will do a little dance. He is beginning to seek affection from them and enjoys being in the same room. Winter is now looking for a forever home with people that will be loving, patient, and understand a few challenges remain. He is still frightened by new situations, loud noises, and is shy with new people. Often running to hide in the large bushes in the yard or closet in the house where he feels most safe. He also seems a little frightened of going through doorways, but will do so if encouraged. He is coming around more and more each day with his fosters! He is a study in resilience and truly a beautiful dog, inside and out! Winter is currently in a foster home in DFW, Texas. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines. He is heartworm positive and currently undergoing slow kill treatment. SPIN Rescue will provide adopters with medication to continue treatment until he tests negative. Until then, his activity levels need to remain on the lower side. His adoption fee is $250. If you think he would be a good fit for your home, please apply to adopt at .spinrescue and we would love to arrange a meet!

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.
