About Priah

Currently located at our Owensboro, KY location Meet Priah This beautiful girl is believed to be a Great Pyrenees mix with the softest soul to match her fluffy coat. Priah came to us as a stray and, sadly, was never reclaimed—so her past remains a mystery. But one thing we do know? She is incredibly sweet, gentle, and ready to find a loving, patient home where she can truly shine. Priah is still getting to know the world around her, so she would do best with a family willing to give her time, understanding, and lots of love as she settles in. She has not yet been tested with dogs or cats, so meet-and-greets with any current dogs in the home are recommended. At this time, Priah is available for foster only through Daviess County It Takes a Village until she is fully vetted. Could you be the one to give this gentle girl a safe place to land? Daviess County It Takes A Village No-Kill Rescue 2620 Hwy 81 Owensboro, KY 42301 270-685-8275 info@itvrescue.org Apply to foster or learn more: https://itvrescue.org/adopt/ All of our dogs are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped and spayed or neutered.

About Great Pyrenees Dogs

Great Pyrenees are majestic, white-coated guardian dogs bred for centuries to protect flocks in the Pyrenees Mountains. They are calm, patient, and deeply loyal, with a gentle nature that belies their imposing size. Their thick, weatherproof coat and regal bearing are stunning.

Adopting a Great Pyrenees means gaining a gentle guardian who is devoted to protecting their family. They are wonderful with children, patient with other animals, and surprisingly mellow indoors. Their independent thinking and nighttime barking reflect their guardian heritage.
