Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Max is an 1-year-old male Great Pyrenees who must be neutered before adoption. He was found as a stray, out in the county, and his owner was never located. Max is solid white; and has a gorgeous, soft coat. He weighs 79 pounds so he is a very big guy! Max is painfully shy and timid. If you spend time with him he will warm up to you; and eventually, if you are lucky, you will get a tail wag. Max is a very sweet fellow who just doesn't have a lot of confidence in mankind right now. He would be fine with children. If you have another dog, we would required a meet & greet with your dog--to make sure they will get along well with each other. Max's dream home would have lots of land where he could play. Dog/puppy adoption fees are $120. Cat/kitten adoption fees are $75. All pets will be spayed/neutered before adoption; or you will be given a discount spay/neuter certificate to be used at participating vet clinics to help with the cost of spay/neuter. Our adoption fees cover a microchip, microchip registration, deworming, vaccinations (as age and law requires), and a courtesy vet exam at participating offices. Unless otherwise indicated under "special needs" our dogs have screened heart worm negative.

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.
