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 has been in MN for a couple of weeks now and his personality is really starting to shine! He is an amazing loyal companion. He has incredible house manners: potty trained, crate trained, quiet besides short alert barks if someone is arriving. Due to the alert barking he would not be best suited for apartment living. He did very well with bathing and grooming, gets zoomies after baths. The only potential behavior to watch for is occasional 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 was not the biggest fan of the leash, but with gentle patience he has improved greatly. We 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 is friendly or indifferent to cats, he is good with dogs (though would not do well with dog parks as he prefers slower intros and lower energy dogs initally). He has been around young kids and toddlers (needs some time & space to warm up to their fast movements/noises), and even did well with a pet rabbit. He would do best in adult only home if there is not another dog in the home. IF there are kids in the home another dog is a must and will help him feel comfortable with the kids and adjust. He is not a fan of having kids in his face, this should be considered when applyiing, he will need time to trust and allow anyone into that personal space should he choose to allow it. 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.
