This quick video shows his sweet, happy personality, featuring his waggy tail and wonderful freckles. https://youtube.com/shorts/keUASMW2zpE This fun-loving boy was born around November 2020. At 68 pounds, he is fully grown and on the small side for a Great Pyrenees. While we named him Handsome and nicknamed him Hank, he doesn’t yet recognize either. He reacts to the tone of your voice. Handsome has been through a lot. It seems he was treated very badly at some point, because if you raise your voice, he will cower and act as if he is in trouble. He is afraid of loud noises. And he is deathly afraid of water at bath time. It is so sad to see. He is such a sweet boy; it is heartbreaking to imagine what has happened to him. Handsome was found as a stray. He was anemic, malnourished, heartworm positive, whipworm positive, with buckshot in his legs and a large hernia pushing his organs into his chest cavity. We took him to our amazing friends at North Colony Animal Hospital where they cared for him until he was healthy enough for his hernia surgery. It took a veterinarian, and three vet techs, two hours of surgery to get him put back together and another two weeks of rest as he healed. He did not react well to the anesthesia so probably should not be put under again. Now that he is fully healed, he loves to lay in your lap, run around a huge yard, go on walks and explore. He loves to chew on toys and throw them in the air. He would love going to a dog park with you if the other pups there are nice. He likes to climb chain-link fences! So, he must go to a home with a large backyard that has a 6- to 8-foot wooden fence. Handsome is fully house trained. He is great on a leash and in a pack walk. He is crate trained, rides well in a car, and is not much of a barker. He likes to play calmly with other dogs. He will sometimes just paw at them while he wiggles on his back! He would do well with another dog in the home. He might be fine as an only dog if he has people with him most of the time. This gentle boy loves all people. He needs a loving, calm, nurturing environment where he can continue to regain his confidence in people. SPIN Pyrs are all in foster homes in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
