My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, my name is SONNY and I'm almost 2 yrs old and am a spayed female. I'm house broken, like to go for walks and ride well in the car. I came into rescue a little concerned. I had not been handled well and was frightened. I am believed to be hearing impaired or even deaf. I have very quick reactions, particularly when surprised. I can't hear well or at all. I was an owner surrender and was adopted and returned. Here at the rescue, volunteers take me out for walks and I'm happy to play with the dog next door to me through the kennel fencing, but I need to be an only dog. I need an experience Pyrenees owner who can handle a headstrong, temperamental female with attitude. I would do well in a rural setting with adults that will let me live and let live. I will take you on my terms, as I am very independent.

Note: Great Pyrenees are considered a Giant Breed. The average weight can be 100lbs. or more. They bark, shed, and have a wanderlust, so secure fences are a must-have. They are NOT off-leash dogs and a Pyr off-leash is called a "dis'a'Pyr". Some Pyrs do well with other dogs and some don't because by the virtue of the breed traits they were bred to keep out intruders and can consider some dogs as intruders. While they make wonderful pets and family dogs, they aren't for everyone so be sure to understand and learn about the breed traits of this breed or any breed you might be considering.
