Story
Hi there, I’m Gypsy — a free spirit with paws made for adventure They named me Gypsy because I’ve got that wander-at-heart energy — always curious, always ready to explore, and happiest when life feels wide open. I’m a Great Pyrenees with a big body, an even bigger personality, and a whole lot of love to give once I know you’re my people.When we first meet, I might take a minute to do my own thing. I like to observe, sniff, and decide when I’m ready — but once I warm up? Ohhh, you’re in. Expect loose wiggles, happy grins (yes, I show my teeth when I’m excited — it’s my version of smiling), and a giant fluffy shadow following you around for attention. Attention is my favorite currency.I’m an active girl who enjoys movement, play, and especially snowy fun. Toss me a snowball and I’ll show you my athletic side — catching, pouncing, and digging like it’s my job.

I may protest a little at first when you leave (a bit of whining — I just miss you!), but when given space and trust, I can settle and do just fine.Tips for helping me succeed at home:Skip crates and confinement entirelyStart with very short absences and build up slowlyKeep departures and arrivals calm and low-keyMake sure I’ve had plenty of exercise and enrichment before alone timeStick to a predictable routine — it helps me feel secureI’m looking for an active, experienced home with people who understand my breed, my size, and my free-spirited nature. No apartments, please — I need room to move, stretch, and be my full majestic self.If you want a playful, affectionate, talkative, snow-loving, big-hearted companion who will happily join you on life’s adventures (as long as
