Adopt Bernard! He is a big happy, goofy, loving, 1.5 yrs old male Great Pyrenees. Currently very skinny at 80lbs, healthy weight for him is 100+lbs. After spending over a month in a shelter, he is now a big bundle of joy in his foster home.
Bernard is very much a puppy in a big dog body. He is very clumsy, goofy, and playful.
He is confident and friendly with new people and has easily adjusted into his foster home. He is very sweet, affectionate, and easy going. Since he jumps up when excited, gives the 'Pyr Paw' and with him being extra clumsy, he would do best in a home without small children or seniors.
He is good with friendly large dogs and even gets the older grumpy ones to warm up to him. He does well when coming across new dogs on walks. He'd be fine as the only dog in a home as long as he got attention, but would also love another big playmate.
He loves toys! Playing, chewing, chasing... He hasn't quite mastered what is and isn't a toy, such as slippers, blankets, and dryer balls. While he loves to play and go on walks, he isn't high strung or demanding.
Bernard is house trained and learned to use the doggie door quickly. He tolerates a crate and sleeps well over night. He does well the car and likes to be brought along, however still is mastering jumping in and keeping his balance while driving.
Still working on basic commands but he is a quick learner and food motivated, with the right treats - he's a little picky.
He barks some, especially when other dogs in the neighborhood are barking. He enjoys watching squirrels and birds. He is overly interested in cats on walks, but since he does well with squirrels, we think with time and he would adjust to a home with cats.
Bernard is a big dog with a big heart. He is good natured and loving. He would be a wonderful addition to a home.
He is neutered and up to date on vaccines. Currently in a foster home near DFW, Texas. Out of area adopters are responsible for arranging their own transport. His adoption fee is $250.
