My name is Olaf!

Olaf is a Great Pyrenees who is estimated to be about 3-4 years old. He gets along with everyone - dogs, cats, and kids. Olaf would like slow introductions to men as he finds them a little scary at first but he has no issues coexisting with them.

 

Olaf kennels perfectly and can be expected to be nearly potty trained in his new home. He has only had one accident in his foster mom's home.

 

This big guy is going to need a special home because he has a neurological disability that has caused severe weakness in his back legs. This doesn't slow him down except when it comes to stairs. Olaf can only handle 2-3 stairs on his own before he needs assistance. For this reason, Olaf should be adopted by a family with very little stairs that Olaf would need to navigate, especially between inside & outside. Rest assured, Olaf can still walk, run and play as long as his back paws are looked after as they do occasionally bend at an odd angle. He also has no issues going to the bathroom by himself.

 

Olaf is a very social dog who would do best in a home that also has another dog. He especially like big dogs.

 

His new family should also know that Olaf is true to his breed - Great Pyrenees do tend to bark a bit more than other breeds but it is very manageable and frankly, we think Olaf's bark is pretty cool - deep & rumbly. This means Olaf will thrive in a single family home that does not share walls with other families.

 

To recap, Olaf will need:

 

- A home with very little stairs, especially between inside & outside

- At least one doggy brother or sister

- A home without shared walls

- And most importantly, a home that has LOTS of love to give and receive

 

If your home fits the bill, please consider giving Olaf a chance. You won't regret it!
