About Skynyrd

Skynyrd showed up to visit a friend, but decided to stick around after she was spayed and the party was over. True to his name, this big, sweet guy is all about heart—he’s got the build of a Great Pyrenees with the easy warmth of a Labrador Retriever mix. He’s still on the skinny side, thanks to some neglect in his past, but he’s bouncing back with regular meals and some care. Vaccinations are current and his neuter is in the works. Skynyrd’s personality stands out: smart, friendly, and gentle, not afraid to show affection. He’s house trained and enjoys the company of other dogs, cats, and kids. Having spent some time fending for himself, he’d love a home with a real yard and people willing to give him plenty of attention. Fun fact: Skynyrd is a Virgo, which might explain his calm, observant nature. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
