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 a couple of days now and we can already tell he will make someone an amazing pet. He has incredible house manners: potty trained, crate trained, quiet, friendly or indifferent to cats, dogs (large dog tested only), young kids and toddlers, even our pet rabbit. He did very well with bathing and grooming. Does not appear to have any food guarding behavior. 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 needs a large yard that has a physical or invisible fence. He is not the biggest fan of the leash, but with gentle patience could improve with time. 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. He waded into a pond up to his belly and seemed to enjoy that. He has showed minimal interest in toys as of yet. He is cautious and has been somewhat slow to warm up. I consider him to have more of a timid temperament, a “sensitive soul”. Gentle, slow positive reinforcement training will be key. 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.
