My story

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

 

Meet South, a handsome Great Pyrenees mix boy born on October 18th, who is already preparing for the most important journey of his life — traveling to the forever family he will love and grow old with.

 

South comes from a litter of ten adaptable, go-with-the-flow puppies who were exposed early to different environments and people. That early experience has shaped him into a confident, easygoing young dog who handles new situations with calm curiosity. He greets new people comfortably and does wonderfully with the other dogs in his foster home.

 

His Great Pyrenees mama’s influence shines brightly in South’s personality. He has a naturally calm, laid-back demeanor and a thoughtful presence that feels steady and reassuring. He takes treats gently, shares food from the same bowl with his brother without a hint of possessiveness, and moves through life without urgency or chaos.

 

While South enjoys playtime, he’s perfectly happy embracing his inner Pyr and being just a little bit lazy. One of his favorite pastimes is relaxing in his bed, quietly observing everything around him — very much like the guardian breeds who once watched over sheep and goats for hours on end. He also loves ear scratches, belly rubs, and the occasional chase of his own tail.

 

South is expected to be a large boy, likely 80–90 pounds, and because of his guardian instincts, apartment living would not be suitable. He will need a home with a yard where he can patrol, watch over his space, and feel fulfilled.

 

His calm, steady nature makes him an excellent candidate for someone seeking a deeply loyal companion — possibly even an emotional support dog for the right person. South is not a high-energy dynamo and won’t be your marathon partner, but if you’re looking for a peaceful, devoted presence by your side, he may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for.

 

South has already made a great start with potty training, showing a clear preference for going outside. He simply needs continued guidance to learn how to “ask” to go out.

 

This special boy is a true gem, ready to settle into the home where he belongs and bless his people with years of love and quiet companionship.

 

 Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at newengland@gmail.com if you are interested in making South your very own.
