What are you waiting for? Apply today! Avalanche is a 9-week-old Great Pyrenees puppy with a big personality to match his fluffy, cuddly coat. Slightly larger and a bit bolder than his sister, he's friendly, playful, and curious—always ready to wrestle, chase toys, or explore something new. Like his breed suggests, he enjoys wandering and will need a secure fenced yard as he grows.
