Great Pyrenees puppies and dogs in Vermont

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?

Bailey is a 7-year-old Great Pyrenees/Labrador Retriever mix with a big body and an even bigger heart. Found as a puppy roaming the woods, she’s grown into a loyal, loving companion who’s ready to find her forever family. Weighing in at about 80 pounds, Bailey is convinced she’s actually a tiny lap dog and we’re not going to argue with her. She absolutely loves snuggling up in bed or on the couch for movie time. She’ll happily keep you company any chance she gets. She thrives on being close to her people and prefers to be part of the family at all times (she will definitely let you know if she’s feeling left out!). Bailey does have a slight indent in her hips, so her activity is kept low-impact—no marathon runs or big jumps—but she gets around just fine and has never had any mobility issues. She’s happy with a relaxed lifestyle filled with love, short strolls, and lots of lounging. She’s wonderful with cats and does well with most dogs, though slow introductions are best. Bailey prefers to enjoy her meals and toys without sharing with other furry friends, so a little space during those times keeps everyone happy. One of Bailey’s favorite “jobs” is being your personal property guardian. Each morning, she eagerly checks the perimeter to make sure everything is just as it should be. She is a devoted protector! Bailey absolutely adores children and would make an incredible best friend for a kid looking for a loyal companion to grow up with. She’s looking for a family who will embrace her affectionate, slightly goofy personality and give her the love and inclusion she deserves. If you’re ready for a snuggly, loyal, oversized lap dog who will love you endlessly, Bailey is waiting for you!   PLEASE READ THIS TO ADOPT: ***ALL ANIMALS ARE CURRENTLY IN LONG BEACH, MISSISSIPPI.*** We transport adopted animals every 2-3 weeks to Northeast states.  Completed applications take precedence over inquiries. If you are interested in adopting, the FIRST step is to complete an application.  We will discuss additional details with potential adopters once we have an application on file.  For Pet's Sake Rescue is a Mississippi based rescue.
