Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Adopt Ozzy! He's an incredibly sweet, playful, happy male Great Pyrenees. He is 1.5 yrs old and around 70lbs, he has gained ten pounds of love since joining SPIN rescue. Ozzy does well with dogs, cats, and children. He is bouncy, playful, enjoys toys, and loves the pool! He equally loves cuddling on the couch and will sleep in bed with you if you let him. He would love a playful dog companion in his home and he is unbothered with other dogs being the alpha. He does like to jump when excited, so may do best in a home without small children or elderly folks as he may accidentally knock them over. He does well on a leash and enjoys car rides, although watch out as he may try to join you in the front. He is house trained and crate trained, though he has no need for one. Oz is back up for adoption after a little break. He was taken 'off the market' last September when we noticed some signs of what we initially thought was a simple UTI. It turned into quite the journey with lots of treatments and tests to get to the bottom of his urinary issues. By December, we finally found the right medications to help him out. They suspect his issues might stem from damage caused by distemper during his puppy days, which is why his teeth are missing some enamel. The good news? Oz is now living like a champ on four medications that he'll likely need for life, but he takes them like a pro and gets excited when it's time for pill pockets. This extra time has really helped Oz with anxiety, too! His life before joining SPIN Rescue seems to have been a cruel one. He had extensive matting, fleas, and flea scabbing. He was so scared of things indoors, such as the television, stick-like objects, and crates. But now, Oz has transformed into a relaxed, cool, couch potato who loves being part of everyday life. Movie nights are a breeze and he happily accepts most stick-shaped chews. Every evening, he dashes to his crate for a cozy night's sleep. Ozzy is a dream and will be a wonderful happy addition to any family! He is currently in a foster home in DFW, Texas. Out of state adopters are responsible for arranging transport. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and heart worm negative. His adoption fee is $250. Apply to meet and adopt Ozzy at .spinrescue

Breed overview
Great Pyrenees
A.K.A.: Pyrenean Mountain Dog, Patou, Chien de Montagne des Pyrénées, Pyrenean, Big White Dog, Bear Dog, Gentle Giant, Great Pyr, Pyr
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.
