Donnie in GA - Sweet & Well-Mannered!

Description

Meet Donnie - a sweet boy who came to us from Alabama, where he was found chained to a house, skinny and neglected. But you'd never know it from the happy, gentle soul he is today. Donnie is living proof that love and a second chance can transform everything. Donnie is the full Pyrenees package - long, luxurious fur, and all the gentle giant energy you'd hope for. He's housebroken, leash trained, and crate trained, with excellent house manners and a playful, moderate activity level that makes him an easy fit for most households. He's picking up basic commands. Cheese, dried salmon, dried liver, chicken, doggie ice cream, and the occasional doggie popsicle are all high on his list of life's great pleasures. What truly sets Donnie apart is his spirit. He's a total social butterfly who adores meeting new people, and he gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes and genders, cats (though he's pretty indifferent - they're just roommates to him), children, and yes, even chickens! He's not a barker, shows zero interest in escape, and doesn’t dig. He loves lounging in warm patches of sunshine, cooling off on kitchen tiles, and going on outings to Lowe's and PetSmart. Oh, and if you happen to have some Herb Alpert or George Benson on the playlist, he'll be in his element. Despite everything he went through before rescue, Donnie carries no baggage - just an overflowing amount of love, trust, and eagerness to please. He would thrive in any situation, and would especially love having another dog to hang out with, and a 4-foot fenced yard for them to play in together. Donnie is an absolute treasure, and he's ready to be yours.

National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR) has been rescuing and adopting out Great Pyrenees since 2006. Our relationship doesn’t end with adoption, as we continue to support adopters throughout the lifetime of their dog. Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority. We have many Pyrs and Pyr mixes who need homes.
