Great Pyrenees puppies and dogs in Commerce City, Colorado

Gentle Giant Alert! Meet Atlas, the sweetest, goofiest, most mellow dog you'll ever meet. At 6 1/2 months and 71 lbs he could easily be mistaken for a proper guard dog.  However, his "attacks" will consist of slobbery kisses and trying to crawl into your lap.  He's the quintessential good boy who has made fast friends with the resident dogs in his foster home. Atlas is a simple soul who enjoys belly rubs, carrots and sleeping on his dog bed next to his foster mom at night. He is steadily improving his leash walking skills and has already mastered the art of only doing his business outside.  If you're looking for a gentle, friendly companion who will greet you like you're the best thing since sliced bread (or carrots), Atlas is your guy. Atlas is being fostered in Colorado Springs and is looking forward to meeting you.  ##2008221##

Cece is the sweetest girl looking for her family! She loves to be with her people and will be right by your side no matter what you're doing! She's goofy and still growing into her body, so she has the cutest puppy run that is sure to melt your heart! She is happy to meet strangers and would spend most of the day outside if she got to choose. Cece and her brother Phillip love wrestling, chasing tennis balls, and playing with toys! When they're playing, she regularly comes back to her foster to check in so she'll likely be easy to train off leash. She is highly food motivated and eager to learn. Cece isn't a picky eater and is willing to try any food his foster offers him. Cece does great in the car and has taken multiple field trips to pet friendly stores and a brewery. She didn't flinch when walking by carts and through automatic doors! She is perfectly content to hang out in her pen when her people aren't home and also sleeps silently through the night in her kennel! Cece hasn't had an accident in her foster home, but she's still young so frequent potty breaks are always recommended. Cece is happy to share her food and toys with other dogs and doesn't show signs of resource guarding. She loves the resident dogs in her foster home and gets very excited when they play with her. Cece could fit into a lot of homes! She could happy live with another playful dog or would also be content as an only dog. She will be on the larger side, so keep that in mind when considering if your home would be the right fit! ##2020668##

This handsome man is more than just a pretty face, he's the whole package! Phillip does great when left alone during the day, sleeps through the night, and is a pro at potty training!  Phillip and his sister Cece love wrestling, chasing tennis balls, and playing with toys! He loves spending time outside and is doing great at learning to walk on a leash. Phillip is very food motivated and will be easy to train. He's not a picky eater and is happy to clean up anything you drop on the ground! He does great in the car and was very cooperative for his bath, nail trim, and brushing. Phillip could fit into a lot of homes! He could happy live with another dog or would also be content as an only dog. Phillip is very respectful of the older dog in his foster home when he doesn't want to play! He takes a minute to approach new people but did great meeting anyone who asked on a field trip to Home Depot. He will need an adopter that is consistent with his grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best! ##2020671##

Please go to our website at www.milehighlabmission.com to find out more about this pet and to submit an adoption application.  Please DO NOT call or email us; all information about current dogs available, adoption donations, vetting, and this specific dog are on our website. We are a non-profit organization and we are completely 100% volunteer run. We DO NOT have a shelter and only approved applicants can make appointments with our foster homes to meet the dogs we have.Our volunteers will not discuss dogs we have available for adoption UNTIL you have an application on file and are approved to adopt."I like big dogs and I cannot lie" If you're singing this remix, you don't want to miss out on Kaya -- 86lbs of fluffy perfection! Personality | Kaya is a sweet and loving girl with a smile and soulful eyes that make anyone who meets her fall head over heels! She loves to be by your side and give you hugs! She will jump up on people, but in a gentle way without putting her full weight on you, so she doesn't knock you over! She's a typical large breed that doesn't realize she's a large breed. ;) Her foster family is teaching her that she doesn't get pets and attention when she jumps and she's learning what "down" means. She loves people and will let out happy whimpers when her foster family gets home. She has a lot of love to give to whoever is lucky enough to adopt her and clearly gets attached to her people quickly. :) Her breed is unknown, but she could easily be a purebred great pyr based on her beautiful white coat, giant size, and calm demeanor. Anyone interested should read up on the breed before adopting. Don't miss out on this amazing girl! Story | Rescued from a NM shelter.Other Dogs | She is friendly and playful with small dogs and large dogs. She prefers to be fed separate from other dogs. Cats | She is fostered with a cat. She loves the kitty and has been gentle with him. Children | Friendly! She's very calm and likes to calmly sit by her humans for pets. She's already eye level with most kids so she probably wouldn't jump on them and is calm enough that she likely wouldn't accidently knock any children down when excited. Her excitement usually comes in the form of getting right up next to you for pets! She's also been very tolerant of her foster mom bathing her and brushing out very matted hair, which means she likely will be very tolerant of little kids being in her space.Training | Kaya is a very intelligent dog. She is quickly learning basic commands like sit, down and stay. She sleeps through the night in the crate as long as the crate is in the bedroom where she can see you.Kaya hasn't been destructive at all and has done fine when left roaming the house alone for a few hours. She does like to counter surf (and can reach everything), but all she has grabbed from the counters are dishes to lick clean and hasn't chewed any of them up. She is the perfect motivator to wash the dishes instead of letting them sit in the sink! She will bark when she hears loud noises outside or someone knocks on the door, which is typical for her breed since they were bred to guard. Interested adopters should read up on the breed and understand their tendency to bark to scare away predators and protect their livestock (aka their humans)!Leash | She walks very well on the leash and it's usually a "loose leash." When she does occasionally pull, it isn't with her full strength. So far, she has never pulled hard enough where it's difficult to keep hold of the leash, despite her size! She walks much better on the leash then her much smaller foster brother and is mostly just happy to be by your side. She has not shown any reactivity on the leash towards other dogs, squirrels or people and probably would do just fine tagging along on hikes and to breweries! Activity Level  Low - medium. Great Pyrenees require regular exercise and mental stimulation. They are bred to protect livestock and are very loyal to their families. She has done well with a few 15-30 minute walks a day and mostly just wants to hang out by your side. She usually naps on the wood floor near the humans, probably because it's cooler then the dog bed with her thick coat! Health Notes | Healthy! She is up to date on vaccinations, spayed and heartworm negative! She has a beautiful, white coat and will need regular brushing to keep it from matting. She's very tolerant to getting groomed, even when brushing out sensitive spots. She was underweight at intake, but has a healthy appetite and is quickly getting where she needs to be. She hadn't been weighed recently, but she is probably heavier than 86 lbs now. Thank you! | Adoption Donations |  Our adoption donations are $475 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $425 for 1-6 years, $375 for dogs 7-10 years, and $250 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $525.

Mysti here wondering if I could tell you a bit about myself? Because I’m shy it’s not always easy for me to talk about my attributes plus I’m a dog so the language barrier is real. I was in a situation with too many dogs so it was time for me to head on out of there. It initially takes me a little bit to get comfortable around other dogs, but once I do, I'm playful. I would prefer to live in a home with another social and confident dog. I am learning to enjoy my walks, however this is a totally new experience for me.  I came from a rural area and they don’t think I ever left the property so I will need patience and confidence building when we are out and about. I would do best in a calmer home in a quieter area. I will reward you with love, affection, and devotion. Oh by the way I am housebroken and nondestructive. I’ve been told I’m smart and pretty but I’m not just pretty face. Am I the girl for you? Why wait fill out the application now and let’s get going! Thank you for reading my profile love, Mysti. If you're interested in meeting me please fill out an application at www.thegooddogrescue.org (If you already have an approved application, please email thegooddogrescueadoptions@gmail.com with your interest in me!) My adoption fee is $300 and I am spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations  ##2012967##

Hi, I'm Mesa! I'm still a pup, full of energy and curiosity. I'm always up for a game of fetch or a good puzzle toy. My sweet and friendly nature makes me a great playmate. I'm also quite the cuddler, always ready for a good snuggle. I'm loyal, too. Once we bond, we're a team for life. I'm smart and brave, always eager to learn new things and face new challenges. I'm not just a pet, I'm a companion, a friend, a family member. I'm looking for a home where I can share all the love and joy I have to offer. Why should you adopt me? Well, I promise to fill your life with laughter, love, and lots of puppy kisses! If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to request an appointment to meet me. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure I will be available to meet you when you come. No need to call to find out about me, you can ask questions on the application or email questions to info@polkcountyhumanesociety.org. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and Minneapolis, MN areas twice a month. For potential adopters in those areas, we can do a virtual visit using FaceTime or another app. Just request an appointment using the same link, but note that you want the visit to be virtual and we will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veteinarian ($35). Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! ##1989980##
