Introducing Fred!๐๐พ
Fred is an estimated 5 year old male Great Pyrenees now ready for a home of his own.
He was an unclaimed stray that had spent some time hanging out in a rural area before his wandering ended him up in impound. At the shelter he was showing signs of kennel distress and needed a safe spot to land.
Fred joined the sanctuary where he could have more space, watch over the horses and be vetted. He was neutered, microchipped, received updated vaccines and lab work which showed he is heartworm negative and though underweight otherwise healthy. He was pretty dirty from his adventures, so a trip to the groomer was a priority. He tolerated his bath pretty well for his breed, and absolutely loved the blow out afterwards!
He has adjusted to leash walking, crate trained and housebroken. He is friendly with other dogs and indifferent to cats.
Fred is quiet though alert. He is most content being next to people and does need reassurance he is not alone at times.
Donโt let all the super soft fluff fool you, he is only 75 pounds. He is tolerating a regular diet with multiple feedings daily to help him gain weight to a healthy range. He wonโt take treats from your hand, preferring to eat in private, but add a little cheese and he will be your very best friend!
Fred is a climber and can really jump. A six foot outdoor kennel run is no match for this guy. However, once he learns his boundaries and is reassured he is not alone with supervised outdoor time, he has not attempted to escape.
Fred will do best in a home that has a lot of human contact and reassurance, understanding his personality is more of one for love versus as a working dog. Heโs quite content for shorter, frequent outings where he can plop down and look around. Belly rubs will be a must.
Fred has been very gentle and friendly with everyone he meets, but has not been around small children.
We continue to learn more about his traits as he learns he is safe and consistently cared for.
Please share this guy and reach out if interested in meeting him!
