My story

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

Meet Picasso — A Gentle, Loyal Companion With a Heart of Gold
Picasso is a 4 year, 7‑month‑old Great Pyrenees/Hound mix with soft fawn coloring and an incredibly tender spirit. She is the definition of a gentle giant — sweet, patient, and wonderfully kind with kids, cats, and other dogs. Even small animals only earn a passing glance from her. Picasso is the kind of dog who wants nothing more than to love and be loved.
Energy Level
Picasso is a young, active dog who loves:
- Backyard zoomies
- Walks
- Playtime with people or other dogs
- Enrichment toys and training games
After she’s burned off her energy, she’s a total snugglebug who relaxes on the couch or her dog bed. She would thrive with a dog companion of similar age, though she can be an only dog with extra attention from her humans.
Personality
• Exceptionally gentle, affectionate, and people‑oriented
• Good with children, cats, and dogs
• Curious but respectful around small animals
• Can be clingy and anxious at first as she bonds deeply with her new family
• Loves to stay physically connected — a paw on your leg, a soft lean, or gentle hand licks
• Protective of her yard and will bark loudly at unfamiliar activity outside
Ideal Home
Picasso will flourish with a family who:
• Can maintain a consistent routine
• Understands her need for crate time to feel secure
• Uses positive reinforcement and calm communication
• Appreciates a dog who bonds deeply and wants to be close
• Can provide daily exercise and enrichment
• Has a securely fenced yard
A dog companion would be a bonus, but not required.
Why You’ll Love Her
Picasso is the kind of dog who gives her whole heart once she trusts you. She is gentle, loyal, affectionate, and eager to be part of a family’s daily life. Her sweetness is unmistakable, her devotion is unwavering, and her playful spirit brings joy to every day.
She’s ready for a home that will love her as deeply as she loves them.
