My story

River and Oak are approximately 18 month old, both male and very large (about 80ish lbs or so) Great Pyrenees littermates. They are new to GRRAND so we are still learning about them, but one thing is for sure, they are so sweet and loving and they love to be petted! They were surrended as they were supposed to be trained for their Large Guardian Dog duties, but we are told by their previous owners that: "They were Initially raised to work as farm dogs, but due to our inability to spend the proper training time with them, they have spent most of their time in a kennel with no attention. They need a more caring and attentive environment – they are very sweet and docile dogs and we feel they need better care than we can give them." Neither of these boys have messed in their kennel run, and they are prepped to get a nice bath and brush. We think it's best to split these two up as Oak gets jealous if River tries to take his human's attention. GRRAND has had them with some of our easy dogs with no issues.  These guys need to go to homes with secure above ground fenced yards as they are Guardian dogs, and their job is to patrol and protect and they do this best in a secure and safe space, also they have never been on leash before coming to GRRAND. Great Pyrs have some differences than Goldens, so you should do a bit of research on the breed before you apply.  More to come on these two, but if you are interested in fostering or adopting one of these handsome floofy boys, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org ##2681730##

If you have any questions or would like to adopt River, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
