My story

Meet Desi 🐾 Desi is a 1½-year-old Great Pyrenees mix… although we aren’t quite sure what else he could be mixed with (if anything), because everything about him screams Pyrenees! From the big personality to the big opinions, Desi is 100% himself. ā¤ļø Desi is a professional alarm barker, expert ignorer, champion burper, and personal space enthusiast… who has no idea what personal space is. šŸ˜‚ He will absolutely let you know when he wants to go outside, then celebrate with the best zoomies and pounces you’ve ever seen. This big fluffy guy loves his people and believes the best place to receive affection is on top of them. If you were looking for a giant lap dog, Desi may have already applied for the position. Desi’s story is one of resilience. He was spotted running loose with another dog who sadly was hit by a car. Trappers stepped in and worked their magic to safely bring him in. Desi spent time decompressing in a garage while learning that humans could be kind and trustworthy. From there, he moved into an amazing foster home that has continued to help him grow. He has his own special area on their back porch with air conditioning and the freedom to come and go as he chooses. While Desi is still unsure about certain rooms in the house, he is making progress every day. He is spending more time inside, exploring, relaxing, and enjoying being with his people. Desi loves other dogs, does great with cats, and so far has done well with farm animals — although he mostly thinks everything wants to play. He’s looking for a family who understands that trust takes time and will give him the patience, love, and freedom he needs to continue blossoming. His perfect home would have a secure yard where he can do his famous zoomies, patrol his kingdom, and enjoy the outdoors. A home that understands a Pyrenees heart — independent, loyal, silly, and full of love. Could Desi be your new best friend? 🐶 Apply at azdawgz.org ā¤ļø

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