Story
Gom is a 7-year-old neutered male Great Pyrenees mix with a gorgeous white coat, weighing 38 kg and standing 60 cm tall at the shoulder. He was rescued from the Wanju City Shelter in October 2022 and has been charming everyone he meets ever since! While Gom can be a little shy at first, his love for treats quickly wins him over, and it doesn’t take long before you can give him gentle pets. It takes a bit more time and trust before he’s comfortable being hugged or lifted, but once that bond forms, he’ll happily allow bathing and handling. With his big, sturdy build, Gom isn’t the biggest fan of being picked up with arms under his belly — but really, who can blame him? When it comes to other dogs, Gom is a bit of a lone wolf. Having spent most of his life in group living environments, he tends to prefer keeping to himself rather than playing with others. He’s not very interested in making new doggy friends and can feel uneasy around bigger or high-energy dogs. Gom hasn’t been around cats, but we do know he likes to chase after birds when he spots them, so a careful introduction would be important if a feline sibling is in the picture. With a low energy level, Gom is happiest when he’s lounging and taking it easy. On walks, he usually strolls slowly and calmly, but when excitement kicks in, he might pull a little and break into a happy trot. He can be a bit stubborn about wanting to choose his own path, but he’s still very manageable with a confident handler. Gom is not protective of food around people but may growl if another dog approaches while he’s eating — he does love his food, after all! He’s generally quiet, only barking occasionally if he’s feeling especially hungry and wants to let you know. He prefers doing his business outdoors and is overall a calm, gentle giant ready to find his perfect match. ##2377740##
