About Bodhi

Bodhi is a soulful young Great Pyrenees who came to rescue after his original owner passed away. He’s friendly with everyone he meets and especially adores children—he loves spending time with the little ones, gently joining them for belly rubs and snuggle sessions on the couch or bed. In his foster home, Bodhi gets along famously with his dog siblings and is also great with small animals like chinchillas, ferrets, and even chickens. He really shines as part of an active family where dogs are treated as true members and invited onto the furniture for family time. Having natural livestock guardian instincts, Bodhi needs a securely fenced yard to satisfy his urge to patrol, even though he prefers sticking close to his people. He’ll be happiest with at least one other young, friendly dog to play and bond with. Bodhi is neutered, housebroken, and has a gentle, affectionate nature. For a home that sees dogs as part of the family pack, Bodhi would be an incredible addition. Start your journey together! Apply now.
