Donnie and Marie are a beautiful bonded pair of Great Pyrenees with long, fluffy coats who must be adopted together, as their connection is truly the heart of their story. This devoted mom-and-son duo came from Alabama, where they were found chained to a house. They have blossomed into playful, affectionate companions with excellent house manners. They are housebroken, leash trained, and crate trained, and learning their basic commands. Donnie and Marie are eager to please and full of joyful energy at a moderate activity level. They do well with dogs of all sizes, are indifferent but respectful around cats, and even get along nicely with chickens. They’re also wonderful with kids, and while Donnie is a social butterfly who loves meeting new people, Marie is a bit more timid and shy at first. They don’t dig or bark, enjoy both indoor and outdoor living, and would do best in a home with at least a 4-foot fence. These two love treats, attention, baths, and fun outings to places like Lowe’s and PetSmart, and they have a soft spot for cheese, dried salmon, chicken, and even doggy ice cream and popsicles. They’re especially charming in their quieter moments too—relaxing together in the sunshine, cooling off on kitchen tiles, or listening to smooth jazz. Donnie and Marie are incredibly sweet, gentle, and loving dogs who would thrive in just about any home—whether with a family, couple, or individual—as long as they can stay together. Their affectionate nature, strong bond, and eagerness to love and be loved make them a truly special pair ready for a patient and caring forever home.
