Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Hope (A141438) is a 3-year-old Great Pyrenees who weighed 51.8 pounds on intake! 03/10/26 This gorgeous, sweet pup is Hope! Hope was known to be timid around new people; however, while at the shelter, she quickly warmed up to the staff and is just the bestest girl! Hope was also said to have previously done well around babies and children! She can be selective towards other dogs so ensuring you are making appropriate introductions are key. She also has no experience around smaller critters like cats, pocket pets, or livestock/poultry. Hope was an outside dog, so she will need a patient owner who can help her adjust to indoor living. However, if you have the time and energy she was described as a real sweetheart! If you are interested in meeting Hope, 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.
