About Pokey

Pokey is a charming 4-year-old Great Pyrenees weighing about 105 pounds, looking for a home where he can fully embrace his laid-back lifestyle. After bouncing from farm to farm due to a lack of interest in guarding sheep, Pokey's true aspirations have surfaced—he longs to be petted and to lounge in the sun. His arrival came with some grooming challenges, and though he’s currently sporting a nearly shaved look, his full, long coat will soon return, showcasing his robust beauty. Pokey is friendly and enjoys being around people. He has a gentle demeanor, particularly around young children and has lived harmoniously with them. He is house trained and gets along well with cats but prefers to be the only dog in his home, as he's had enough of unrequested responsibilities. Pokey thrives in an environment with a fenced yard where he can explore at his own pace, and a sunny deck for his signature naps. His energy mainly oscillates between lounging and a surprising burst of activity when intrigued. If you’d like a calm, affectionate companion who enjoys a peaceful life and some good company, Pokey might just be the perfect match for you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
