Tengu
AvailableTengu is a large, mixed-breed male (Great Pyrenees and German Shepherd Dog) with a black and chocolate coat of medium length. He is an adult living in Riverside, CA and has not yet mastered house training. Tengu is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations, and needs a family with experience handling strong, guardian-type breeds. He does not get along with other dogs or cats, so he’d be best as a solo companion.
About Tengu
Tengu is a giant, lovable puppy with a goofy streak and a commanding presence. He’s got the classic confidence you’d expect from a Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd mix and likes to think of himself as the leader—especially around other dogs. Tengu is happiest when he’s by your side, no matter where you are in the house, or out exploring trails and campgrounds with you. He thrives on action and would love a home where he can join in for hikes, fetch in the yard, or just hang out while you cook dinner. This guy gets deeply attached to his people, and you’ll find him sticking close by as your loyal companion. Tengu can be selective with other dogs and does not get along with cats, so he’s best suited as the only animal or with careful introductions in a firm, experienced home. He’s still working on house training and needs someone prepared to continue his education and reinforce good habits. On walks, he’s reactive and protective, typical of his guardian breed background, so his adopter should know their way around large, smart, challenging dogs and bring confidence to the leash. Tengu waits for the right match who’ll put in the time and help him shine. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
