Merida is part of a litter born at the end of February and will be ready to head home starting May 3rd. As a young Great Pyrenees, Merida needs an adopter who truly understands the breed—she’s likely to be stubborn, vocal, protective, and will need a securely fenced yard. This breed does not do well off-leash and will not be trained to stay within invisible boundaries, so her adopter needs realistic expectations. Before bringing Merida home, make sure every member of your household is on board and prepared for her arrival. The adoption process will include a review of your experience with the breed, your home setup (including fencing), and resident pets, as well as reference and vet checks. A virtual home visit will take place, followed by an in-person meet at the farm. All dogs go home spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and with a clean bill of health. Merida gets along well with cats, dogs, and children, making her a good fit for many family types as long as they’re ready for a large, independent-minded dog. Be honest about your home and lifestyle throughout the process—this match depends on it. Your new best friend is just one click away.
