Great Pyrenees puppies and dogs in Oregon

Buddy feels like the kind of dog who should come with a porch, a couple acres, and a standing invitation to be included in absolutely everything. Big ol’ smoosh-face energy, giant-hearted best friend, enthusiastic walking buddy, couch snuggler, toy collector, daycare socialite… he somehow manages to be both a “let’s go do stuff!” dog and a “perfectly content melting into the couch beside you” dog all at once. At just about a year old and already 87 lbs, Buddy is a young dog with growing and learning still to do, but what shines through immediately is just how social, affectionate, and genuinely good-natured he is. Rescue rules apply, so breed and age are our best guess, but we suspect some Anatolian/Pyrenees/Lab type magic in the mix. Go watch Buddy Big Smoosh on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this lovable galumph of a dog who genuinely seems appreciative and delighted to be part of the world. https://youtu.be/xDOLYqSCWeg Buddy is currently fostered in a loving home with two resident dogs, and according to his foster, he slid into family life like he had always belonged there. After a thoughtful introduction period, he now spends his days playing, lounging, sharing space, and generally enjoying life alongside his dog friends. He has also attended daycare with dogs of all sizes and continues to show himself to be social, playful, and appropriately communicative with other dogs. One of the things we really loved seeing during our time with him outside of his foster home was how nicely he reads the room with other dogs. He enjoys play, absolutely, but he also takes breaks, respects dogs that are not interested, and recovers quickly from moments of stress without overreacting. People? Buddy thinks people are excellent. He was loving and confident with everyone he met, happily accepted handling, rolled over for affection, and handled new environments, noises, and activity with an easygoing attitude. When we spent the afternoon with him he was surrounded by new people and he soaked up attention from strangers like it was his full-time job. He especially gives off that “big friendly dog at the brewery patio hoping someone shares fries” kind of charm. His foster lovingly calls him “Smoosh Face” because one of his favorite activities is snuggling up on the couch beside his people. Despite his size and playful side, he settles beautifully in the home. He enjoys chew toys, rotates through the toy basket, happily entertains himself, and is very capable of winding down after exercise or play. His foster describes him as smart, eager, and quick to learn, and he already kennels on command at home. He rides well in the car too, calmly hopping in and relaxing for the trip. Now, Buddy is still a young, large dog, and occasionally that youthful enthusiasm shows up in the form of “I would very much like to play RIGHT NOW.” His foster notes that he can sometimes be a little slow to pick up on their older dog’s “leave me alone” signals, not in a concerning way, just in that lovable young-dog way where the brain occasionally takes a second to catch up to the body. Overall though, his social skills are genuinely very nice. Buddy would thrive with an adopter who understands large breed dogs and has room in both their home and lifestyle for a young dog who still needs continued guidance and structure. What we are seeing right now is a well-socialized, stable young dog, with likely livestock guardian genetics, so adopters should be thoughtful of this as he matures. Right now he is wonderfully social and easygoing, and continued positive exposure, leadership, and appropriate boundaries will help him continue growing into the best version of himself. He could potentially live in a larger apartment with an active adopter committed to daily outings and exercise, but truthfully, Buddy would probably be happiest with space to stretch his legs, a yard to roam, and people who enjoy including their dog in everyday life. He has done well around cats in controlled settings, though we would recommend dog-savvy cats and thoughtful introductions. Older kids or teens would likely be a lovely fit given his size and youthful enthusiasm. His foster family cannot say it with more heart when they share how wonderfully he has blossomed into a deeply affectionate, social, happy dog who clearly loves being part of a family. There is something really special about a rescued street dog who chooses trust again so fully. Buddy Big Smoosh is ready for a home that has room for a giant cuddle bug with long legs, a soft heart, and an enthusiastic zest for life. Questions?

Penelope is one of those dogs that instantly makes the environment around her feel calmer. She has a relaxed, easygoing personality and doesn’t seem interested in creating chaos or drama. While other dogs are bouncing around demanding attention, Penelope is usually content just hanging out nearby, lounging in the sun, or quietly observing what’s going on around her. At around 2 years old and 45 lbs, Penelope has a wonderful middle-ground personality. She enjoys going on walks, exploring, and being part of whatever you’re doing, but she’s equally happy spending the afternoon relaxing outside or stretched out beside you after a long day. She’s great with both dogs and cats and has a naturally calm social style that helps her fit easily into group environments. Penelope has a soft, grounded presence that makes her very easy to live with. Good fit: someone wanting a calm companion who enjoys both adventures and peaceful downtime without needing constant stimulation. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport.

Mama Kay2 years, spayed female, 50 lbsPyrenees, Bassett Hound, Cattle Dog mix Mama Kay has raised her pups (Alpha Guardian litter) and this farm dog is now ready to find her forever home. She is the sweetest girl and loves all the people and pets. She is true to her breeding, and is a fantastic alarm for intruders. She is medium energy but loves to play and romp with an active dog similar in size in her foster home. LIKES: Barking like it's her job (it is); chewing bones, tough chews, etc. Sleeping on soft beds and cushions or cool floors. DISLIKES: Car rides and listening to requests to stop barking. TRAITS: Friendly with everyone, she takes her role as intruder deterrent seriously. But she would probably welcome a stranger into the house and let them rub her belly. She loves walks and opportunities to sniff and explore new places and things. She likes being outside and resting at her sentry position. POTTY TRAINING: She is mostly potty trained but has had some accidents when she wasn't able to get outside. She signals and stands by the door if inside. CRATE TRAINING: She has been putting herself in a crate with a cushy dog bed to rest while at her foster home, but she resists bring put in a crate when she knows she will be closed in sometimes. She doesn't howl or bark when in a crate in general though. She has shown a tendency to chew items when left unattended and free to roam, so use of a crate when leaving her alone is recommended, unless a secure space without any items (like wooden furniture) is available. Overall Mama Kay is a great dog and joy to have around. We want to find her a home where her skills are appreciated and where she can be her best self. No apartments or homes without yards, or homes in densely populated neighborhoods. She barks at cats but wouldn't hurt one. To further inquire about MAMA KAY, submit an application. https://wigglytails.org/adoption-application/ Tell us about yourself, family, other pets, and how MAMA KAY will mesh with your lifestyle. Qualifying applicants will be contacted by our Adoption Coordinator with next steps and an opportunity to set up a Meet & Greet. Our process is NOT a “first come, first served” process. (We DO NOT hold pets for later consideration.) Our team carefully reviews and interviews applicants for the best possible fit for each adoptable pet, and potential family. Submitting an application does not guarantee a call or response from our rescue. Our volunteers will screen the applications and reach out if it is determined to be a good fit. We look forward to facilitating a positive and solid adoption for MAMA KAY, as well as her future family. *Fostered in Eugene/Springfield, OR ADOPTION APP: https://wigglytails.org/adoption-application/ ##2652264##

Zuzu : a spunky name for a spunky gal! Zuzu is a 2 yo Great Pyrenees with a unique feature: a corkscrew tail! This very much epitomizes her upbeat and playful nature. Zuzu is HIGH energy, ready to engage in wrestling, tug, or zooming with any & every dog in your household! The only time she slows down & her tail uncorks is when she sleeps. Her past is a mystery. She was found as a stray in Hondo with evidence of sometime having had a litter of puppies. Her coat was a matted mess, so she had to be shaved. An abundance (if you know the breed you know ) of soft white fur is growing in. Great Pyrenees are fantastic family dogs, taking guardianship of their family seriously. Because of her go-go-go nature, Zuzu would do best in a home with a lively companion dog that will submit to her dominant nature. Also true to breed, although she understands basic commands, Zuzu weighs them & independently decides whether or not to follow them at any given time. Persistence, patience & acceptance of this gentle giant’s qualities are needed. She is a gorgeous good dog waiting for her “furever” home. Love and laughter are sure to follow her lively antics. Needs a companion dog due to her HIGH energy and active family best. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX)Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Urgently seeking the right home for Mr. Banks — currently being a very good boy at my feet as I write this.Banks is a beautiful Great Pyrenees/Lab with a calm, watchful nature and a soft, loyal heart. He loves a quiet yard, long naps, and easy evening walks. He’s excellent on leash and passes dogs, people, and even squirrels without a fuss.Banks is a protective, affectionate, and deeply devoted pup. He prefers routine and low-key living and would do best as the only dog in a chill home with a fenced yard.Banks has shown some resource guarding with extra special treats (bones), so he needs an experienced, patient owner familiar with guardian breeds. He can also be wary of strangers in the home and does best with slow, thoughtful introductions (treats help a lot!) so he can feel safe and build trust at his own pace. But once he's your buddy, he's your friend for life!Neutered, up to date on vaccines, no known medical issues.This very good, beautiful boy is waiting for you!
