About Forrest

Meet Forrest! Forrest is a gentle 9-year-old Great Pyrenees, quietly navigating his way through life after having faced many challenges. He prefers to hang back and observe before engaging, often feeling anxious about new situations and people. It’s clear that he’s had some tough experiences, having come to us with visible scars from past attacks. Because of this, Forrest thrives on the reassurance of another dog friend. His foster home has shown him the importance of companionship, and he’s become fond of stuffed toys and treats. Food is the quickest way to his heart, and he adores snacks and chew bones. With people, Forrest is respectful but cautious. He takes his time to trust, often removing himself when he feels uneasy. However, once he bonds, he reveals a soft and loving heart. He is housebroken and well-mannered, making him easy to share a home with. Forrest does have a flight risk; when frightened, he tends to bolt, so he must be in a secure, fenced yard with an understanding adopter. His ideal home is a quiet, stable environment, where patience is key. Those willing to put in the time and earn his trust will be rewarded with a loyal friend ready to feel safe and loved. Give him the home he has been waiting for. Apply today.
