About Burrito

Burrito is a six-year-old, neutered Great Pyrenees weighing about 100 lbs. He has a gentle demeanor and adores belly rubs, often leaning against you for affection. Rather than playing, he enjoys guarding the yard or just lying by your side. Though he has a strong guarding instinct typical of his breed, he's been well-trained and knows commands like touch, go to spot, sit, and leave it. There was a challenging incident when Burrito mistook the owner's daughter in a costume for a stranger, leading to an unfortunate injury. Due to this, his family feels he would thrive in a calmer environment without children. Burrito does tolerate their cat and warms up to familiar people. If you're looking for a loyal companion while providing him the peace he deserves, Burrito could be the one. For interested adopters, please reach out to Burrito's family at bsimson@gmail.com.
