My personality

My story

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

K2 is an 11 month old Great Pyrenees in need of a forever family due to severe health issues of his previous owners. He will be one year old on June 26th and would love to have a forever home for his birthday. He is fully vetted and ready for adoption. K2 is a very nice, friendly, active pup and will need an adopter committed to the time, training and socialization all pups need. He has some house experience but will need house training. At this point he would not be a good fit for young children, as he still gets excited and bouncy at times, but possibly older children. He is just about 90 pounds and his adult coat is just coming in. As most puppies do, he absolutely loves to play with other dogs. His best match in the long run would be a female that likes to play but also will set boundaries for him. He has come a long way in learning to respect corrections/boundaries by playing with 2 adult females that are here at their rescue. He can be a little overwhelming to a dog that does not want to play and won't tell him so. At this time we do not know how he would do with a small dog or cats. Adoption info and our adoption application can be found at gprci.com and questions about K2 can be emailed to gprci.info@gmail.com

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process includes completing an adoption application, allowing a home/site visit, and if approved for adoption, signing a legally binding adoption contract at the actual time of adoption. Our adoption application can be found on our website at www.gprci.com and can be completed on line or downloaded for printing.

The application will ask for a personal reference and the name and phone number of your current and/or past veterinarian. Vet records must verify that pets receive/have received good care, both in the case of illness/ injury and preventative care (vaccinations, etc). Current pets must be up to date on preventative vet care and spayed or neutered (unless there are extenuating circumstances). We will contact you by phone upon receipt of your application but feel free to call or email with any specific questions.

A securely fenced property is required. Great Pyrenees must be in secure fencing or on leash at all times, for their own safety, as they cannot be reliably trained to a property boundary.

We request of adopters a minimum donation to GPRCI of $200 at the time of adoption to help with some of the vet care expense.

Go meet their pets

Adoptable Great Pyrenees are shown by appointment, usually after a completed application is received and an initial phone interview is conducted.
