Great Pyrenees puppies and dogs in Vermont

Astrid Meadowkeep has the calm, steady presence you might expect from a Great Pyrenees mix, along with a wonderfully playful streak that keeps life from becoming too serious. Estimated to be around 3 years old, she is gentle, affectionate, and easy to share a home with, but beneath that peaceful exterior lives a girl who genuinely delights in toys, Nylabones, chew toys, and will thank you with the cutest happy bounce around the yard. Go watch Astrid Meadowkeep on YouTube, then come right back to read more. Her video offers a lovely glimpse of her quiet sweetness, her playful side, and the relaxed companionship she brings. Astrid is wonderful with other dogs and impressively patient with a wide variety of personalities, energy levels, and play styles. She is happy to bounce around for a bit with a playful friend, but she does not depend on another dog for entertainment. She is equally content simply sharing space, keeping peaceful company, and allowing everyone to move at their own pace. At home, Astrid is both house and crate trained. She settles quietly in her crate, especially when given something tasty or satisfying to chew, and she has an easy way of fitting herself into the rhythm of a household. If her people are relaxing, she is likely to stretch out nearby and enjoy the shared quiet. She is loving without being demanding, present without hovering, and affectionate without attempting to fold her Great Pyrenees-sized body into your lap. Astrid has great basic skills, though she is not dreaming of a calendar packed with errands, crowded patios, and daily car rides. Getting into the car is not her favorite activity, we are convinced its simply because he is awkwardly lanky and finds the process of getting in embarrassing. Once aboard, she rides fairly well, with a little drool added for dramatic effect. Her ideal life would offer space to roam, a comfortable home base, plenty of toys to investigate, and people who appreciate that companionship does not always need to be loud or constant. Astrid Meadowkeep is a gentle, happy girl who brings equal parts peace and playfulness. She is ready for a home where she can enjoy the simple luxuries: a good chew toy, room to wander, a friendly dog or two if they happen to live there, and people she can quietly love from right beside them.

We have all met those dog- the ones you meet and immediately know were put on this earth to spread joy and have fun. That’s Lasso Hedwig! You can see it in his eyes from across the way and if somehow you miss it, his bouncy, goofy run towards you will fill in all the blanks. The boy is joy on long and loose legs! He approaches life with a bounce, a toy in his mouth whenever possible, and the firm belief that every person, every dog, and even a boring ol’ mud puddle is a potential new best friend/goodtime. Go watch Lasso Hedwig Happy Bounce on YouTube, then come right back to read more. You'll quickly understand why we suspect water is going to be one of his great loves. The first time this cheerful boy spotted a giant mud puddle, he didn't stop to consider his options. He launched himself into it with complete confidence! And who are we to argue? Sometimes the best memories begin with dirty paws. https://youtu.be/7_G5FKE2mXg Lasso is so fortunate and is waiting for his forever in a loving foster home complete with kids, a wide variety of other dogs and a steady stream of toys. Whether he's racing around the yard with the kids, matching the energy of his canine friends, or simply trailing behind his favorite people to see what adventure comes next, Lasso has mastered the art of being exactly where the fun is without ever creating the chaos. Estimated to be just shy of a year old, Lasso is very much enjoying the carefree chapter of puppyhood while already showing the wonderful manners of a dog who's learning how to be an excellent family companion. As with all rescue dogs, his age and breed- possibly a Pyrenese/Lab mix, is simply our best educated guess. Lasso’s foster family has shared that he is house trained, crate trained, wonderful with children, and settled into home life beautifully. He's become the perfect playmate for dogs who enjoy an active wrestling buddy, but he's just as happy to settle into everyday family life once playtime winds down. His foster describes him as an incredibly easy and fun dog to have around, and that's a phrase that comes up again and again when talking about him. One of our favorite things about Lasso is how naturally social he is. New people are greeted with happy curiosity and polite manners. New dogs are welcomed with the same easy confidence. He enjoys toys tremendously and, even better, has lovely sharing skills that make him an enjoyable companion during group play. There's an easy rhythm to the way he moves through life that makes him fit comfortably into whatever the day happens to hold. Feline friends welcome too! Lasso met our house cat and all signs point to him being understanding that cats are to be respected- not chased or played with. When the zoomies are over, you'll often find him shadowing his people or happily following the kids around the yard, content simply being part of whatever they're doing. He doesn't need to be the center of attention. He just wants to be included in the fun, and that quiet desire to be part of his family's adventures makes him especially endearing. Lasso would LOVE a home with another playful dog because he genuinely enjoys having a canine buddy/playmate, but more than anything, he's looking for an active family that appreciates a cheerful companion who is always ready for the next adventure, whether that's a walk through the neighborhood, an afternoon tossing toys, or discovering a new watering hole to splash around in. If you're searching for a young dog who brings smiles, good manners, playful energy, and a wonderfully easygoing outlook wherever he goes, Lasso Hedwig is exactly the sidekick you've been waiting for. We can't wait to see the adventures that lie ahead for you and this happy boy! Questions? Email Kathleen@threelittlepittiesrescue.org Ready to apply?

Conqueto is a 2-year-old female Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix weighing 50 pounds. She has a sweet, friendly personality and gets along wonderfully with people of all ages as well as other dogs. Conqueto is affectionate, gentle, and enjoys making new friends wherever she goes. She's a loving companion who's ready to become a cherished member of her forever family.

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?

This girl is one princess of fluff - she is shy at first in doggie playgroup but if the other dogs are gentle, she starts to bow and prance around to play. She dances and bounces like a bunny around the yard when she's comfortable. She is easily comforted by people and likes being near her foster family. Diamond loves being petted and brushed. She has a white/cream long coat with tan 'freckles' on her face. Diamond shows no signs of preferring being a 'working dog' and living with livestock outside. Instead, she finds her crate inside quickly and lays down to nibble her kibble one at a time. Diamond does not have leash experience, lays down and had to be carried to/from car and in Vet clinic. Car rides make her nervous, she did best in a crate for containment. Likely this girl had an isolated puppyhood in the rural county and not familiar with field trips; car rides and leashes. She is Quiet and does not growl or bark/whine when moved around. Guessed to be under 2 years old - just a teen! She is spayed, up to date on vaccines and on prevention (negative for heartworms). Housetrained, crate trained and part of a suburban foster home. FOSTERED IN TEXAS. *Adoption Fee ($550.00) includes transport options to PNW (WA, UT, ID), Midwest (MN, WI, MI, OH, IL, IN) or select New England States (NY-NJ-CT-VA-VT) by pet transport partners.
