Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Zuma (A141198) is a 1-year-and-11-month-old Great Pyrenees who weighed 60 pounds on intake but is underweight. 02/12/26 These fabulous brothers are Chase and Zuma! They were surrendered to the shelter because their owner had too many dogs to care for. They have been outdoor dogs, so they will need help adjusting to indoor living. This includes potty training and basic commands. They were both described as outgoing, friendly, and affectionate boys. They have historically done well with babies and children. They have not met many strangers in their lives, but warmed up to care staff quickly on arrival at the shelter. If you are unfamiliar with their breed, we encourage you to do your research before adopting. These boys were said to get along smashingly well with each other, but havenât met any animals outside their home. Please ensure you are making slow, safe, and controlled introductions with all new people and animals to help set them up for success. They are young boys looking for some continued guidance as they age. They arrived at the shelter with matted coats; needing regular grooming is to be expected. If you are interested in meeting either of these boys, please let us know!

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.
