Story

Delight has big brown eyes that will melt your heart and a delightful personality to go with them. She is a happy and sweet girl that likes to be with her people and cuddle next to them on the couch. She joyfully plays with toys, enjoys chew toys, and tummy rubs!  She is an active girl who likes walks and running after a squirrel in the yard. She has a tendency to dash at cars while on walks so her forever person would need to be able to handle that.  She would be the perfect dog for a person or couple looking for a lower-key companion to curl up this winter. We are looking for her to be the only dog in the home. Her adoption fee has been sponsored which means the adopter pays no fee. However, a adoption application still needs to be submitted and approved. Who can open their home to this sweet girl?September 29, 2023, 11:12 pm

She should have a home without small children.  She has a fence requirement due to her being a stray and needing time to adjust. Once she settles in, she has a goofy personality!

Disney

Great Pyrenees

Male, 6 yrs 7 mos

Bloomington, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Disney is a 6 year old male. He has been waiting for his perfect home for a very long time. He is a good boy most of the time but can present some challenges which include the behavior of an untrained, goofy puppy at times. We have learned what triggers that behavior and how to avoid and stop it. Disney is our Peter Pan Pyr. He can't seem to 100% grow up, still loves toys and is a fun happy boy. Disney has matured into a very handsome 90 pounds. We will be looking for an experienced adult only home committed to house training (manners) and working obedience into his everyday life. He needs structure and routine. Disney does have house expereince, is fine in a crate for a reasonable length of time, loves car rides and is quite the affectionate boy. He is good for the groomer and vet, walks well on leash with the right collar and does well with most other dogs. Even though he is good with most all other dogs he prefers human attention. His best match will be as an only dog home with play dates or doggy day care to give him some canine socialization. If placed with another dog, a resident female would be his best match. Please contact us if interested in adopting, fostering to adopt or fostering. Adoption info and application can be found at gprci.com Securely fenced yard for safe outside potty and play time will be required.

Nimbus

Great Pyrenees

Male, 6 yrs 7 mos , Special Needs

Bloomington, IL

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Nimbus is a handsome 6 year old male with special needs in regard to his personality. We are looking for some very specific things in an adoptive home due to his shy and skittish behavior. Nimbus has a flight history (6 months on the run before being trapped) before coming to our program and although he has improved a lot socially over time, he still panics at change in the routine and social circle he has come to know. He loves hugs and attention and belly rubs from those he trusts. We would like to find an adopter close enough who can visit him multiple times to build some trust before adoption. A few specifics about Nimbus: -He should do well with a well socialized, dog friendly, large breed female canine companion. -He walks on leash unless startled (is easily startled), and although every time is very frightening for him, has learned to ride pretty well and handles well at the vet and groomer. -Once aquainted he loves hugs and attention. -He will require house training and work on marking behavior. -Adult only home with a rescue baggage experienced adopter willing to work with him to become the best he can be. He will always be a shy skittish dog. -Securely fenced yard no less than 5 feet in height for safe yard time. -A more rural home with a larger fenced yard as he needs some space and a busy neighborhood would be overwhelming for Nimbus. If you think you could be the the special adopter Nimbus needs please contact us by email for more information. Adoption info and an application can be found at gprci.com
