Great Pyrenees puppies and dogs in Lenexa, Kansas

🐾 Meet Duvall — A Handsome Adventurer With a Heart Full of Love! 💙 With his striking blue eyes, beautiful beige-and-white coat, and unforgettable smile, Duvall is one handsome fellow! This 2½-year-old Husky/Great Pyrenees mix weighs about 54 pounds and has plenty of personality, energy, and affection to share. Duvall's journey began when he was found alone along a roadside late one night. Since then, he's experienced several changes in his living situation through no fault of his own. Now living in a foster home, he's hoping his next chapter will finally bring the stability, understanding, and lasting companionship he deserves. ❤️ 🐾 An Adventurer at Heart! Duvall is intelligent, athletic, playful, and full of enthusiasm for life! He loves walks, outdoor adventures, exploring new places, and activities that challenge both his mind and body. As a working-breed mix, he thrives with regular exercise, mental enrichment, and opportunities to spend quality time with his people. He's also house-trained and crate-trained, giving him a wonderful foundation for settling into a home routine. 💕 A Friendly Boy With So Much Love to Give One of the most wonderful things about Duvall is his sweet, affectionate nature! Volunteers who know him well describe a genuinely friendly, loving boy who adores belly rubs, gives kisses, and enjoys being close to his favorite people. Duvall generally does well meeting people and has made plenty of wonderful connections with volunteers and new friends alike. Like many dogs who have experienced prolonged shelter stays and changes in their living situations, Duvall can occasionally feel overwhelmed in busy or unfamiliar environments. During particularly stressful situations, he has sometimes appeared nervous or unsure around new people. Those who know him best believe these reactions were largely influenced by the stress and instability he was experiencing at the time, rather than reflecting his usual friendly personality. Now that Duvall is settling into foster care, we're looking forward to learning even more about how his confidence and social skills continue to develop in a calmer, more consistent environment. In the meantime, gentle introductions, patience, and allowing Duvall to approach new experiences at his own pace will help him feel comfortable and secure. 🐕 Making Friends and Finding His Comfort Zone Duvall enjoys playing with other dogs, although his enthusiastic, physical play style can sometimes be overwhelming. He'd do best with confident, well-socialized dogs who enjoy active play and can comfortably match his energy. Slow, thoughtful introductions are important, and a compatible canine companion could be a wonderful match. Duvall could also be perfectly happy as the only dog in the home. When it comes to children, Duvall's experiences have been somewhat limited, particularly with very young kids. Because he's an energetic, enthusiastic dog who can occasionally become overwhelmed in unfamiliar situations, a home with older, dog-savvy children would likely be the best fit. He's had some positive experiences with older children, and those who know him believe he could do very well in a family setting with appropriate introductions, supervision, and an understanding of his needs. For now, a home without very young children is recommended while we continue learning more about his comfort level in foster care. Duvall's history with cats is also limited and somewhat mixed. While he has had a calm encounter with a shelter cat, there have also been concerns about chasing or unpredictable behavior around cats in a previous home. To give Duvall the best chance at a successful, lasting placement, a home without cats is recommended. 🏡 Duvall's Perfect Match Duvall is looking for a patient, committed family who appreciates his adventurous spirit and understands the importance of stability and consistency. His ideal home will offer: 🐾 Regular exercise, walks, and outdoor adventures 🧠 Mental enrichment, training, and activities to keep his clever mind busy ❤️ A loving family who enjoys affection, companionship, and plenty of belly rubs 🎓 Consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and gentle guidance 🐕 Thoughtful introductions to new people, pets, and environments 🏡 A safe, stable environment where he can finally put down roots Experience with working breeds would be a bonus, but what matters most is a family willing to understand Duvall's needs and help him continue building confidence. A securely fenced yard would be wonderful, although meaningful exercise, engagement, and companionship are just as important. 💙 A Second Chance Worth Waiting For Duvall has been through more transitions than any young dog should have to experience. But through it all, he's remained a sweet, affectionate, enthusiastic boy with so much love to give. Those who know him best see a friendly dog who loves companionship, enjoys life's adventures, and simply needs the opportunity to feel safe and settled. Now he just needs someone willing to give him the patience, stability, and forever home he's been waiting for. 🐾 Could you be the one to give Duvall his happily-ever-after? 💙 P.S.

Hello! Im Priscilla! Thanks for taking the time to read more about me. I am a new arrival at the shelter and my friends here are still getting to know my personality. Please call or check back soon to learn more about me!

Gallardo is a very friendly dog and enjoys running around. He is approx. 3 years of age. He enjoys digging and cooling hose showers in the heat. The reason we are looking for a new home is because it has become much more difficult for my family to care for him. The spot given to him as well has become much too restrictive for him, and he deserves a sprawling area where he can run around. As his breed demands, he needs to be around others and in a more appropriate ranch-like setting.

Clifford is a big red dog, literally! He is a very good boy but he does need a VERY firm and experienced owner for him to listen. He is partial to WOMEN and takes patience and a long time to warm up to men. He has NEVER bitten anyone but it does need to be mentioned he has growled at men, which is why he needs time to build trust when it comes to them. He is being rehomed due to no fault of his own and it is because of life and health circumstances with me. He has been around cats and other dogs but he does have a high prey drive when it comes to critters outside. He has also been around a child but as with any dogs I do not recommend leaving him alone with any or letting any waller him as he is a dog that likes his space. I would feel most comfortable if he went to a woman household or if he must go to someone who has a man around (no judgement just being clear as can be) that they really understand he needs patience to warm up to them. In general he is a huge lovebug!

Unfortunately due to living circumstances and moving me and my girlfriend are not able to keep our dog anymore. His name is Cashew and he is a Great Pyrenees/Husky mix. He has lots of energy and will need to go to a home where he gets exercised very frequently. He loves rope toys to play tug of war and squeaky/crinkly toys to chew on and play keep away. He loves his people and has to be next to you 24/7, or atleast he thinks. He is a little skittish of new people at first, he will bark, but once he gets used to them he’ll be so happy. We’ve taken him to the dog park nearly everyday and he seems to do great. He will swim and retrieve sticks. He’s very treat motivated and loves chewing on bones. We currently live with a cat and he’s a little iffy around the cat especially while eating. We believe it’s some food aggression. Hopefully he will find the right people to take care of him and help him thrive.

Remi is a sweet beautiful and affectionate family dog. She is an indoor dog and crate trained. He loves to be outside and inside both. She's very loving and likes to be free and run. You would need some yard space or a privacy fence. She's jumped our chain link fence a couple times wanting to be closer to where we are. She is a great guard dog but not over vocal. She loves kids, cats and other dogs. She is 5 years old. She has always had her shots and been on flea meds. We have some family medical issues and financial strain otherwise we wouldn't consider letting her go.Reach out, we would love for you to meet her!

Islay (pronounced "eye-luh") is a sweet, snuggly, senior girl who is looking for a new home. We adopted her when she was 1 in 2018 from a rescue in Raleigh, NC. She moved with us to Kansas City in 2024 where she was delighted to find out we get snow in the winter! Islay loves to snuggle up on the couch, spend lots of time outside, and make sure all her people are safe. She's great with kids, other dogs, and cats. We're looking for a new home for Islay where she'll get the time and attention she needs.
