Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Say hello to Dewbert — or Dooby, as his foster family lovingly calls him! This big, happy Great Pyrenees is equal parts gentle giant and goofy sidekick. With his soulful eyes, calm presence, and joyful personality, Dooby brings a little sunshine wherever he goes.
Since joining his foster family, Dooby’s transformation has been incredible. His coat has healed beautifully, his confidence has blossomed, and he has truly settled into home life. He loves being near his people and has recently shown just how devoted he is by becoming especially protective and nurturing toward the family’s newborn. That loyal streak is one of his sweetest qualities.
Because of this strong protective instinct, Dooby would thrive as an only dog in a loving home where he can bond closely with his people. While he has previously enjoyed playing with the family’s resident dog, he recently showed that he prefers not to share his space or his humans with other pets. However, he is a dream when meeting dogs on walks, puppy playtimes, or when going to a fun happy hour with other furry friends.
Dooby is also a classic Great Pyrenees through and through, which means a fenced yard is a must. It’s his happy place to explore, sunbathe, and do his signature “patrols.” One of his funniest quirks is his nightly security rounds. He quietly pads through the house 2–3 times a night just to make sure everyone is tucked in safely. It’s impossible not to smile when you catch him taking his job so seriously.
He continues to do well with humans of all ages and is wonderfully gentle, affectionate, and steady. His resource guarding is only directed toward other animals, not people, and with a pet-free home, this won’t be a concern day-to-day. With his humans, he is nothing but a big, loving teddy bear who wants to be close and be part of the family.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will adore you, make you laugh, and fill your home with warmth and devotion, Dewbert is your guy. He’s ready to be someone’s one-and-only, and he will absolutely shine in that role.
