Hi all! My name is Haley. Just so you know, there's a bit of confusion on my age but we think it may be 6? It's hard to tell. And I think I MAY be part Pyr, but we haven't done a DNA test. My story? A nice man and his friend "rescued" me and my young son from a Virginia shelter many years ago (maybe 5??). The deal was to foster me until there was room at Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue (AGPR). Well, guess what? The nice man loved the two of us so much that he decided to keep us. Sadly, the nice man passed away and his friend was kind enough to call AGPR to see if they would keep me safe, secure and loved until my forever family adopted me. They welcomed me with open arms. I'm a bit shy when you first meet me. Hint - once I learn that you have Milk Bones or other tasty treats in your pockets, I can be persuaded to be your friend. There's a volunteer at the rescue who always has full pockets and my tail wags and my eyes follow her as I will her to walk me first so I can stick my nose in her sweatshirt pocket for a tasty morsel. She always laughs at me, accuses me of "shaking her down" and calls me her silly girl. While I don't mind spending a little time outside, I really enjoy being inside where my people are. I love leisurely walks where I can sniff and explore but since I spent the last five-ish years in a more rural setting, busy roads and crazy activity make me nervous. I'm also very content being the center of attention and the only girl in your family. I'm sure you know that all Great Pyrenees require a fenced-in yard (at least four foot high). If you have questions about the breed or AGPR's adoption policies and procedures, please go to their website at www.agprescue.org. There's plenty of good information about the breed on their website - Pyrs aren't a breed for everyone!
