Meet Mar-teeny! She is sweet and petite! Born around January 2022, she is fine-boned and on the smaller side for a Great Pyrenees. Her ideal weight is 65-70 pounds.
Mar-teeny is a total cutie. She has a constant smile on her face, showing her eternally happy disposition.
She is adorably lovable and affectionate. She loves people, loves to be petted, and will climb onto your lap and lay there contentedly. At night, she likes to sleep in her favorite recliner.
She has a habit that some might enjoy. Since she passionately loves everyone, she comes up to people and wants to hug them by putting her front paws/legs around their waistline. Foster mom is working on ending that behavior.
Mar-teeny loves dogs and must have a doggy companion of any size in her forever home. She wants one to be with her in play, wrestling, and lounging.
She wants to be best friends with every dog she meets and is absolutely convinced they feel the same about her! If one is resting nearby, she might give them a high-pitched yip sweetly begging them to please play. She loves them and just knows they automatically love her in return. She often gets even the most reticent dog to play with her.
She loves toys. She and one of her doggy foster siblings will each grab one end of the same stick and run around the yard to together! She is such a hoot!
She also shows her zest for life when she’s outside. She’ll bark at the local chickens, other dogs barking next door, and people walking past her house.
She loves ice cubes! When she hears the machine dispensing ice into your cup, she comes over for a sample. She’s not one to fish it out of the water bowl, preferring to gently accept it from your hand.
Little Mar-teeny is house trained and leash trained. She has no need for a crate. She rides nicely in a car and loads up willingly; she really wants to be up front with you, too.
Mar-teeny has environmental allergies which cause her skin to be itchy and her coat to be dry. Cytopoint seems to work best for her during mountain cedar season. The rest of the time we give her Apoquel or Zrytec to give her some relief. Potential adopters should consider this added expense for her ongoing care.
When you meet this angelic, effervescent girl, you will want her to be yours forever.
