About Alsan

Alsan was picked up as a stray and nobody came to claim him, so he's navigating shelter life a bit cautiously. Change can feel overwhelming for him, especially with new faces, but he’s settling in and starting to relax. Meeting new people still takes some patience on both sides, but Alsan has a gentle heart. If given enough time to get comfortable, his true personality comes out: loyal, devoted, and quietly affectionate in the classic Great Pyrenees way. He's already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and he's ready to build trust with someone who doesn’t mind moving at his pace. Once Alsan feels secure, he’ll be a steadfast companion, sticking close and always ready to offer loyalty—and a bit of quiet company. Your patience now leads to a rewarding connection for years to come. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
