My story

Meet Birdie - Your Future Best Friend!

Birdie is a sweet, 1-year-old Great Pyrenees mix who has had a rough start but is now making strides toward a brighter future. She was surrendered back to the breeder, who didn't want her either, and spent most of her early life contained in a chicken coop. But don’t let that tough beginning fool you—Birdie has a heart of gold and is ready to embrace a life full of love, training, and playtime!

Although she came to us with zero training, Birdie is making amazing progress in her foster home. She's quickly learning basic commands like “sit” and “leave it” and is getting the hang of house training. She learned within just one day that pottying inside is a no-no, but a little patience will be needed if she transitions to a new home, as she may need a refresher.

Birdie is also working on crate training and getting comfortable with her safe space. While she’s still a bit of a curious puppy, she’s adjusting well and loves getting attention from her foster family. However, if left alone, she could be a bit destructive, so she’ll need an adopter or foster who is ready to work with her on these behaviors and help her grow into the well-behaved companion we know she can be.

Birdie has been spayed, and she’ll be ready for her forever home after she heals up from her spay surgery on January 16th. She was originally raised with cats, so we were hopeful that she’d get along with the cats in her foster home. Unfortunately, she’s been a bit territorial, growling and charging at them during slow introductions. However, with patience, training, and love, we believe she could learn to live peacefully with feline friends, just like she did before.

Birdie is good with both male and female dogs as long as there are slow introductions. She’s a social girl and enjoys the company of other dogs, but a careful and gradual introduction will help her feel comfortable and build those positive relationships.

Birdie is sweet, loving, and eager to please, but she needs someone who is ready to invest in training and help her overcome the puppy challenges she’s facing. She also does well in the car, making her the perfect travel companion on your next adventure! She does require a 6-foot fence to keep her safe and secure, as she’s still learning the boundaries of her new world.

If you’re ready to work with a sweet girl who’s eager to learn and grow, Birdie might just be the perfect match for you!

Stay tuned for her availability after her spay surgery on January 16th.

If you think you can give Birdie the patience, love, and guidance she needs, reach out to us today!

Additional adoption info

Great Pyrenees Rescue, Montana's mission is to help rehabilitate abused and displaced Great Pyrenees dogs, and find them the best forever home.


Adopting a friend
We work hard to find the best home for our dogs. We want this home to be their forever home. An adoption application is required with a vet reference. A home visit is also done. PERMANENT, SECURE FENCING IS REQUIRED Our adoption donation for most dogs is $275.00 for our dogs and this money is used to cover vet expense, spay/neuter charges, transport expense and caring for our dogs until they are adopted. A senior dog age 8 or older and our special needs dogs, we ask for $175.00 donation. This adoption donation is lower because you may need more health care for the seniors or special needs. We want them all to find a happy home and to be loved forever. FENCING FOR THIS BREED NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST 5 FOOT HIGH.
NOTE: The electric underground fencing is unacceptable for this breed.
