Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Goose (A134386) is a 5-year-old Great Pyrenees who weighed 91 pounds on intake! 09/11/26 Goose has made his way back to the shelter once again. He is looking for a home that can provide him with ample room to run around and maybe someone who is home often. He has been through quite a bit of upheaval lately, but he hasn't let it dampen his spirits (despite the rest of being dampened by drool)! Goose may not be as kennel trained as we were first told. If you think you can be this big guy's forever home, please give us a call! 08/21/26 Mister Goose arrived back at the shelter as a stray without paperwork through our overnight drop off kennels. His most recent owners did not respond to any attempts to reach them, so Goose, unfortunately, had to wait at the shelter for over a week before he could be place back up for adoption. While we love having Goose here, we really want him to find his forever home! If you are interested in meeting this big, handsome goofy Goose, please give us a call! 08/05/26 This big smiley guy is Goose! Goose was surrendered to the shelter due to no fault of his own and was truly described as a great dog! He was described as an outgoing, friendly, and affectionate pup! He has historically done well with people of all ages, including babies and children. He has also done well in the past with other animals, including other dogs, cats, and pocket pets. Please ensure you are making slow, safe, and controlled introductions with all new animals and people to help set him up for success! Goose was said to be kennel-trained, housebroken, and rides well in a car. He is used to spending time outdoors when his owner is not home. Goose has a LOT of hair and does require grooming. He was very matted on arrival at the shelter but received a good brushing to help him feel more comfortable! His next owner will need to keep up on his grooming to prevent matting in the future. If you are interested in meeting Goose, please let us know!

Great Pyrenees
A.K.A.: Pyrenean Mountain Dog, Patou, Chien de Montagne des Pyrénées, Pyrenean, Big White Dog, Bear Dog, Gentle Giant, Great Pyr, Pyr
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.
