My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**It is strongly encouraged to research the Great Pyrenees breed prior to considering one for adoption. While they are wonderful dogs, they are not for everyone.



SOCIAL MEDIA HASHTAG:  #libbylou



AGE: 5.5yrs (Apr 2023)

WEIGHT:  106.4lbs

WORKING LGD:  NO - family pet only



DOGS:  Good: Can be bossy at times

DOG RESTRICTIONS:  Can be temperamental with pushy dogs



CATS:  Unknown

CHILDREN:  Good

OTHER ANIMALS (birds, farm animals, etc): Unknown



FENCED YARD REQUIRED:  Yes



GOOD OFF LEASH:  NO!! ROAMER/RUNNER



GROOMING/SHEDDING NEEDS:  High

MEDICAL ISSUES:  None



MEDICATIONS:  Anxiety meds



SPECIAL NEEDS:  Somewhat - Libby is severely afraid of beeping sounds due to previously wearing a shock collar prior to rescue. She is on medication so that she will not harm herself or escape. She is also a fence climber/jumper and can scale a 6ft fence. Will forever have to be leash walked only.



ANXIETY:  Yes - due to her severe fear of beeps. Also has storm anxiety.

BARKING:  High



EXPERIENCED OWNER NEEDED:  Yes



CRATE TRAINED:  Yes



HOUSE TRAINED:  Yes



GOOD IN CAR:  Yes



FUN FACTS:  Libby is a delightful character and shows great affection for everyone. She enjoys snuggling, loves to give hugs, and she is extremely gentle and kind...outside of her Pyr Paw, which is very strong when she opts to use it. She does well with dogs but can sometimes be dominant and overly bossy, so she'll need someone experienced in handling interactions between dogs, as well as understand it may be a little more prominant in the beginning. She is well behaved and loves to go on walks. Lizzy has a very big bark and while she isn't excessive, it's LOUD, so being mindful of close neighbors is important. **PLEASE READ FOLLOWING INFORMATION



IMPORTANT:  Libby will forever have to be leash walked and NEVER allowed off leash for any outdoor time, even potty breaks, even in a fenced yard. She will bolt and climb/clear a 6ft fence without hesitation. She enjoys going on walks and is great on a leash, so someone who likes to take a few daily walks would be ideal (NOTE that Libby is NOT a jogger or long distance runner). She is a big girl, though, so her adopter needs to be comfortable holding her on a leash. Libby is well behaved indoors, but will require a giant crate when someone isn't home to protect her in case she becomes afraid of a sound or storm. We feel she would enjoy the company of another dog but it is not required. She will require patience during the transition, however. Libby is a LOVELY girl with a tremendous heart who is adored by everyone she meets. She is charming, affectionate, kind and all around wonderful...but she does require someone who will understand her needs.
