YETI - GREAT PYRENEES / MIXED (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees / Mixed (long coat). Adoption Fee: 500.00. Yeti found himself unwanted and in a high kill shelter in West Texas. He is good with other dogs and people, and is indifferent to cats. All dogs and puppies require supervision and training to be successful. Yeti was found roaming through Texas with another Pyrenees and both were lucky enough to hitch a ride to MN to find their forever homes. Yeti has been with us for about 2 weeks now and his personality is really starting to shine! He would make an amazing family dog or loyal companion. He has incredible house manners: potty trained, crate trained, quiet besides short alert barks if someone is arriving. He is friendly or indifferent to cats, dogs (though would not do well with dog parks, needs slower intros and prefers lower energy dogs), young kids and toddlers, even our pet rabbit. He did very well with bathing and grooming, gets zoomies after baths. The only potential behavior we’ve observed to watch for is counter surfing. Gentle, slow positive reinforcement training will be key. His favorite activities so far seem to be true Pyrenees pastimes: exploring the outdoors, taking long walks and jogs, wandering through meadows, observing the activities of the house. He doesn’t care much for toys, but loves marrow bones. He ideally would like a large yard that has a physical fence. He is not the biggest fan of the leash, but with gentle patience could improve with time. Does better on a halter. I believe he would do fine as the only pet. He doesn’t seem to need constant attention, so his owners could leave him at home during work. However, he is still young so requires extended time outdoors and long daily walks. If you are looking for a calm, gentle guardian who loves exploring the outdoors, you need to check out Yeti! First priority will go to someone who lives in the twin cities metro in order to bring to a vetting appointment in early September.
