About Larkin

Larkin is an 11-month-old Great Pyrenees mix, weighing in at just over 50 pounds. He's currently in that lanky teenage phase, bursting with friendliness and enthusiasm for life. Larkin thrives on play and social interactions, and he would really appreciate more room to roam than what an apartment provides. He enjoys running and participating in family activities. This energetic pup is learning his manners, often greeting everyone with excitement, which speaks to his good-natured and trainable spirit. While he may mature to around 55 to 60 pounds, he's already a big ball of fun. Larkin is great with other playful dogs, especially those that enjoy some wrestling and running. However, homes with no cats would be ideal; he's inclined to view them as potential playmates. Larkin can live with children, but ideally, these kids should be old enough to handle his spirited personality. This young dog is not difficult but very much a delightful work in progress. Give him the exercise and guidance he needs, and you’ll find him to be a loyal and affectionate companion. If you think Larkin might be the right fit for you, apply online today!
