Story
Hi, I’m Marcie, the Great…Pyrenees. At 8-months old, I boast a big personality and a kind heart. All 60 pounds of me will sit in your lap, if you let me. Though I’m hearing impaired, it doesn’t hinder me in any way as I can communicate through Sign Language. All of my other senses are heightened and I’m aware of everything! Vacuum cleaner, beware!
Though I had a rough start to life, I’m resilient and independent. Although, I believe your definition of independent might be a little different than mine. I think you humans may call it stubbornness. Whatever the case, I’m working on it.
Alongside my resilience and independence, I’m also very clever! As a puppy, I’ve already mastered a few puzzle toys, which I’m sure older dogs would find challenging. This, however, might have something to do with being food motivated as treats are hidden inside the puzzles. I LOVE treats!! Some of my favorites are salmon and chicken jerky, bully sticks and pupsicles from Woof.
I think it might be important to mention some of my other personality traits to help you better understand me. I’m a guardian dog, which basically means I protect. So with protection comes some barking. Also, though I love and need exercise, leash walking is not my favorite. I tend to bark and get a little anxious when I encounter cars, other dogs on a leash and baby strollers. Again, it might have something to do with wanting to protect and/or possibly my deafness.
With all that said, I do have a few, small requests, if it’s not too much to ask. For starters, I need patience and understanding as I’m a dog with special needs. A rural setting with a large, fenced in property would be best for me so I can run freely and play hard as I love to chase balls and play with my flirt pole. A playmate is a definite possibility, as long as he or she is a younger dog. I like children, but older children would be better as I’m already a strong and sturdy girl. Lastly, I would greatly benefit from further training to help with leash walking and basic commands due to my breed and my deafness.
I’m Marcie, the Great….Pyrenees. I will dedicate my life to protecting and loving on you. I only need a chance. Please contact Shelly - shellyallard@yahoo.com for placement in your home
