My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Rigby – aka “Big Rig”

This handsome one-year-old Akbash mix is all legs, love, and loyalty. Neutered, up to date on vaccines, and ready to roll into his forever home!

 

Big Rig is the total package — a mix of goofy, gentle, and pure sweetness. He’s got the zoomies down to an art form but can quickly settle down for belly rubs and head scratches. He adores kids (like *really* adores them), loves all dogs, and hasn’t met a human he doesn’t like.

 

He’s not aggressive — just a little soft-hearted and sometimes timid — but once he trusts you, he’ll be your biggest, most loyal shadow. Cats? Well… he thinks they’re fun to chase, so a feline-free home is probably best.

 

Rigby’s a smart boy too! After just a couple of weeks of training with his SpotOn collar, he now lives fence-free and sticks close by like a pro. He loves the great outdoors but also enjoys joining you inside for snuggles.

 

Now, here’s the real story — his girlfriend has decided she’s done with the relationship and wants to keep the house . Rigby’s taking it like a champ, though. He’s ready for a fresh start where he can finally love freely without looking over his shoulder for a grouchy partner.

 

One look into his big brown eyes and you’ll understand why we all call him *Big Rig — the sweetest boy on the road to his forever home.* ❤️

 

Currently in foster care and ready to meet his people

Additional adoption info

Great Pyrenees Rescue, Montana's mission is to help rehabilitate abused and displaced Great Pyrenees dogs, and find them the best forever home.


Adopting a friend
We work hard to find the best home for our dogs. We want this home to be their forever home. An adoption application is required with a vet reference. A home visit is also done. PERMANENT, SECURE FENCING IS REQUIRED Our adoption donation for most dogs is $275.00 for our dogs and this money is used to cover vet expense, spay/neuter charges, transport expense and caring for our dogs until they are adopted. A senior dog age 8 or older and our special needs dogs, we ask for $175.00 donation. This adoption donation is lower because you may need more health care for the seniors or special needs. We want them all to find a happy home and to be loved forever. FENCING FOR THIS BREED NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST 5 FOOT HIGH.
NOTE: The electric underground fencing is unacceptable for this breed.
