Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (medium coat). Imagine living with a prong collar almost embedded into your neck, being stuck on a tie out outside 24/7. Your best friend is a male Pyr and he's hit by a car and killed. In your grief and confusion you manage to break free and go look for your companion. While out you encounter a few dogs and get into scuffles. Owners are upset and want you euthanized, and your owner decides she doesn't want to deal with the mess of it all and surrenders you to the shelter to be euthanized. This was what lead to Lucy coming to rescue. Lucy had been living with the biggest most chill foster brother ever but at times she made it known she might prefer a bit more space. She was just spayed and has moved to an only dog foster home in NV. We'll let her settle in and see if this is the life she prefers!

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.
