My story

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

**It is strongly encouraged to research the Great Pyrenees breed prior to considering one for adoption. While they are wonderful dogs, they are not for everyone.



SOCIAL MEDIA HASHTAG:  #libbylou



AGE: 8yrs (11/25)

WEIGHT:  106lbs

WORKING LGD:  NO - family pet only



DOGS:  OK - Can be bossy at times. Would need calm male or to be an only pet.

DOG RESTRICTIONS:  Can be temperamental with pushy dogs and large or xl females



CATS:  Unknown but probably bossy

CHILDREN:  Good

OTHER ANIMALS (birds, farm animals, etc): Unknown



FENCED YARD REQUIRED:  Yes



GOOD OFF LEASH:  NO!! ROAMER/RUNNER



GROOMING/SHEDDING NEEDS:  High

MEDICAL ISSUES:  Has rapid breathing at times, possibly due to allergies.



MEDICATIONS:  Supplements to help her breathing



SPECIAL NEEDS:  Libby came to us very afraid of beeps and loud noises due to being required to wear an electric collar. She has come so, so far, and does very well, minus some storm anxiety. We don't think she'll have noise phobias in her new home, but don't know for certain, so her new family must understand there could be a little flashback due to the stress fo a transition to a new home. She will, however, still be afraid of storms. Her supplements help her in this regard. ***She is also a fence climber/jumper and can scale a 6ft fence. Will need to be supervised in yard and never off leash outside of the fence.



ANXIETY:  Storm anxiety.

BARKING:  High



EXPERIENCED OWNER NEEDED:  Yes



CRATE TRAINED:  Yes but doesn't love it and may not need it permanently. Needs giant sized crate.



HOUSE TRAINED:  Yes



GOOD IN CAR:  Yes



FUN FACTS:  Libby is a delightful character and shows great affection for everyone. She enjoys snuggling, loves to give hugs, and she is extremely gentle and kind...outside of her Pyr Paw, which is very strong when she opts to use it. She does okay with dogs but can sometimes be dominant and overly bossy, so she'll need someone experienced in handling interactions between dogs, as well as understand it may be a little more prominant in the beginning. She is well behaved and loves to go on walks. Lizzy has a very big bark and while she isn't excessive, it's LOUD, so being mindful of close neighbors is important. She also has a nubbed tail that is cute as can be. **PLEASE READ FOLLOWING INFORMATION



IMPORTANT:  Libby will NEVER be allowed off leash when outside of a 5-6ft fenced yard, even for potty breaks or walking to the car. She will bolt, and while she may be past it at this point, she is capable of climbing/clearing a 6ft fence without hesitation. She enjoys going on walks and is great on a leash, so someone who likes to take a few daily walks would be ideal (NOTE that Libby is NOT a jogger or long distance runner). She is a big girl, though, so her adopter needs to be comfortable holding her on a leash. Libby is well behaved indoors, but will require a giant crate when someone isn't home to protect her in case she becomes afraid of a sound or storm. We feel she would enjoy the company of another quiet, gentle dog but it is not required. She will require patience during the transition, however. Libby is a LOVELY girl with a tremendous heart who is adored by everyone she meets. She is charming, affectionate, kind and all around wonderful...but she does require someone who will understand her needs.
