Claire is a petite Pyrenees mix! She could put on a few more pounds, but she will likely never grow to full Pyrenees size. She was a working guard dog and still loves to guard a fenced backyard (6 foot privacy fence required). She enjoys lazing around most of the day, loves cold weather, and is friendly with everyone she meets. The foster’s home does not have cats or children, but she has been fine when meeting both on walks and was reportedly good with children in a previous home. She has shown some initial dominance behavior toward other female dogs, but she has always ended up befriending the other dog after setting her boundaries. She loves playing chase with other resident dogs!

Claire’s future family can expect friendly nudges for pets and a “Pyr Paw” to let you know when she wants attention. She is fully house-trained (never had a single accident with her foster) and is low maintenance. She enjoys a morning walk, plenty of pets, and a tasty chew now and then, but otherwise she takes care of herself.

Potential adopters should be familiar with the unique traits of Great Pyrenees. Claire does bark and would likely be at her best on a large property with room to roam and neighbors who would not be bothered by her. She would love  a low-pressure guard job like having a chicken coop to protect!
