Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (medium coat). I'm Fiona! I ended up in a shelter with my littermates at just 6 weeks old, luckily we were all rescued and I'm currently in a foster home with my two brothers. Now I'm 3 months old and ready to find my family! I'm a Great Pyrenees mix, so I'll grow up to be much bigger, maybe 75 pounds when fully grown. I'm mostly white but have some beautiful golden spots on my ears, head, and back. My foster mom says that I'm a princess one minute and a chaotic wrecking ball the next. Sometimes I get ahold of her shoes and try to tear them up. I just love to run, play, and chew. For the most part, I'm good about going to the bathroom outside and will whine at the back door to be let out. I don't have any accidents in my crate either! I like to go in there when I'm tired or if something startles me. I can get startled when you walk up to me really fast but I'm happy to cuddle and play if you walk up slowly and crouch down. I'm not afraid, just a little cautious. My foster home has a cat and two large dogs. I don't chase the cat but do find it really interesting. I will follow the cat around and give it kisses when it lets me. I absolutely adores my Irish Wolfhound big sister. I want to sleep right by her, follow her around, jump on her and clean her ears when I can reach them. It's a requirement I have another dog in my forever home so I can keep learning manners and have someone to play with me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE kids. I get a little 'too' excited apparently, but I just want to jump on them and give them kisses. - Fiona is currently in a foster home near DFW area of Texas. Out of area adopters are responsible for providing their own transport plans. Fiona will officially be available for adoption May 23rd but we are taking applications now. Her adoption fee is $300.

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.
