Meet Krista, a vivacious and affectionate young Great Pyrenees seeking her perfect home! This bouncy girl is best suited for families with older children (12 and up), as her enthusiastic nature might accidentally overwhelm smaller kids. Krista is a social butterfly who loves being the center of attention. She walks well on a leash but can get excited and pull when stimulated. At home, she's house-trained and comfortable indoors. She gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and has shown a playful, lovable personality. When it comes to cats, Krista has a playful chase instinct if they run, though she hasn't displayed aggression. She's responsive to commands, readily returning to her kennel when called. A 4-1/2 foot fence should contain her, but potential adopters should be prepared for her excitement when greeting people. If you're looking for an energetic, people-loving companion who thrives on attention and enjoys canine companionship, Krista might be your perfect match! Her playful spirit and affectionate nature promise to bring joy and excitement to the right home.

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding. Please visit Fostering FAQfor an application and information about our fostering program.
