About Lightning

Lightning is part of a lively litter of Great Pyrenees mixes rescued from a difficult start in Oklahoma. At about four months old, he’s outgoing and sweet, just getting started on life. He’s received two rounds of vaccines, is dewormed, and has begun his preventative care. Lightning still needs to be neutered, and his adopter will handle the remainder of his vaccines. He’ll need basic obedience training within six months—he’s eager and young enough to pick it up quickly. While a fenced yard is preferred, it isn’t a strict requirement. Lightning gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children, making him a flexible fit for many homes. His short tricolor coat hints at how handsome he’ll be as he grows. Born January 6, he’s a practical Capricorn—expect an independent and determined personality. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
