About Jamie

Jamie is a laid-back, 6-year-old male Great Pyrenees in Garland, TX, weighing about 85 pounds. He’s been through quite a bit—arriving at the rescue with respiratory issues, skin problems, and heartworm, but he’s fully bounced back and his coat looks great. His heartworm treatment is ongoing, and the rescue will cover his meds. He thrives on comfort, often lounging by doorways and acting as the resident speed bump. He never misses out on a good belly rub and loves being petted. Jamie is friendly, sweet, and especially gentle with children. He does best as the only dog in the home due to bad experiences with other dogs in the past. Jamie is house trained and crate trained and likes having his own space. He’s still working on his nerves with car rides and slick floors but is slowly gaining confidence. No excessive activity needed here—Jamie enjoys walks but doesn’t require much exercise. Despite his large size, he’d settle well into an apartment, as long as there’s carpet or rugs. Some barking at strangers or loud noises, especially outside, is normal for him. Out-of-state adopters should plan transport themselves. Jamie is neutered and vaccinated. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
