Meet Brie! When Brie first arrived at the shelter, she faced significant hardships, including being heartworm positive and having a nearly bald back end. Despite everything, she's a fighter and has transformed beautifully. With love, good food, and medical care, her long, fluffy coat has grown back, making her an absolutely stunning girl inside and out. At around 3 years old and weighing over 60 pounds, Brie is a Great Pyrenees. If you’re familiar with this breed, you know they’re independent, loyal, and protective of their loved ones. Brie takes her time with strangers but, once she trusts you, she becomes a devoted companion. She’s navigated interactions well with other dogs, appreciating slow introductions to new friends. For the most harmonious match, she may do best as the only pet, especially in homes without meet-and-greets beforehand. Brie has received applications from potential adopters, though many lack a secure fenced yard. A fenced area is important for her happiness, as she loves to enjoy the outdoors while being part of the family. She's not suited for an outdoor-only lifestyle; she craves indoor snuggles too. Brie hasn’t had exposure to young children yet, so we recommend a home with older kids who respect dogs' boundaries. Although she hasn't been tested with cats, she seems intrigued by squirrels. While Brie hasn’t lived much of her life inside a home, she has thrived in her kennel, keeping her space tidy and showing signs of her ability to adapt to home life with some patience and consistency. Given her personality and breed, Brie would thrive with someone experienced with livestock guardian breeds or someone eager to learn about their unique traits. They are incredibly rewarding additions to the right family. Ready to meet Brie? Apply today and share why your home is the right fit for her!
