Meet Sammy! This 1 year old, 70lb gentle fluffy boy is looking for his forever family!! After being found as a stray in TX with his sister Missy (coming up North in a few weeks and up for adoption separately), he is really enjoying the good life! His foster dad says: "Sam is a stellar example of his breed, and I now understand why they are called the "Great" Pyrenees. He is dignified, calm, independent, and sensitive. Sam makes you win him over. He is cautious at first, but after a few days, will be booping you with his nose to indicate he wants pets. He is a couch potato, but also loves to go for walks and meet new people. (He is excellent with strangers and with training I think could make a great therapy dog.) One way Sam is unlike most Pyrs: he is not a barker! Pyrs are known to be sensitive dogs, and Sam is still opening up to us after his journey from Texas - his full story is not yet written. But he is an incredible, beautiful, soulful dog, and he deserves his loving forever home!" *Sammy tested positive for Heartworm and was treated in TX before coming up North.* INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?
