Story

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.

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.
