About Homer in NY

Homer In Ny has a hazy history and even his exact age is a guess, but he's clear about the life he wants now. This adult male Great Pyrenees was recently neutered and is settled into good house habits. He walks nicely on leash and seems happiest exploring outside with someone he trusts. Homer starts off reserved, needing time to assess new people and settings. Give him some patience, though, and he’ll relax, open up, and form loyal bonds. He turns affectionate, playful, and loves to just lounge and snuggle on the couch. Homer does have resource-guarding tendencies, especially with attention, so he must be the only pet in the household. Living with another dog is not working for him and he’s ready for a space of his own. He needs a calm, steady adopter who knows the Pyrenees temperament and will provide reassurance as Homer keeps building confidence. With consistency and understanding, Homer has what it takes to become an outstanding companion. Capricorns like Homer tend to be loyal and determined—traits that suit him well. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
