Great Pyrenees puppies and dogs in Bellingham, Washington

If you are looking for a gentle family dog, that resembles a fluffy cloud with the floof of a polar bear, you have found him! He is incredibly dog-friendly, can catch a ball in his mouth, has wonderful house manners (including being house-trained) adores kids, and is great on leash including walking beside a stroller. The list could go on and on. I am enamored by how easy his company feels, familiar and so comfortable. Plus he is so darn handsome! You can see more including his love of a ball and his gentleness with kids. https://youtu.be/hASd1s9EqFk Franco has been fortunate to spend his time waiting for his adoption day in the home of a loving family. This is where his love of kids was discovered. With a newly crawling baby in the house it was clear that he understood gentleness and peacefulness were important and he delivered! This is how we know that he is quiet in his crate but will occasionally let out a little wooowooooo, a cuter than cute sound. This is also how we know he loves toys, understands the difference between his toys and the babies, and likes to carry a toy in his mouth when he goes outside to go potty. This is the kind of happy, easy boy who you will look out the window and see laying peacefully in the grass, with his toy and the sun shining on him. Heavenly! He has an easy-going nature and dreams of a family of his own to spend forever with. If you are looking for chaos and wild, Franco here is not the one for you, his entire being exudes gentle and calm, love and warmth. Best described as a couch potato, the opposite of busy or wild. Estimated to be 3 years old, weighing a perfect 79 lbs, this boy is carrying a big loving heart and all the traits of an adoring, loyal dog. His demeanor and look lead us to believe he is a Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix but breed and age are details we cannot offer 100% certainty, given the nature of him being a rescue. We can absolutely guarantee Franco is a heart-warming face with a gentle nature. One of my favorite things about is how peaceful his presence is. He is quiet company that feels like you have always known. Franco’s sense of good-company is seen with other dogs as well. We introduced him to a handful of new dogs to gauge his playfulness and friendliness with other dogs and we saw the same- friendly and easy-going. He was at ease and made connections with a variety of dogs, big and small, showing so much patience to some extra pushy and excited new friends. He has recently been accepted to a doggie-day-care program and comes home with A+ report cards! Franco is definitely dog friendly but does not need dogs to feel happy. Being a solo-dog would be no problem for Franco, he is at peace with just the company of his people. The only no we know is Franco needs a cat-free home. We feel confident his eagerness when introduced to our house cat was friendly but his size would be a bit much if he decided to chase the cat or even jump up to get a peek of him. Given his size and nature, we would love to see Franco in a home where his natural pace is welcome. A house with a yard though apartment/condo life is not off the table, a loving family, a playful but mellow-friend is welcome but simply- the good life. I can’t imagine many homes Franco wouldn’t be well suited for. He is going to show up and feel like he has always been yours. Plus, you’ll often have what looks like a polar bear skin rug on the ground when he is resting, very chic! If you can guard his big loving heart and keep the love coming his way, he promises sweetness, adoration, and loyalty in return. So, if you're looking for a four-legged friend who's sheer presence is calming, charming and one who has a golden-good heart, Franco is ready and available for adoption! Questions?

The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  The rescue’s hard costs alone for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast.

Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option.

Hi peoples! My name is Ruger and I am a 7 month old Great Pyr/Lab mix. I am a large breed puppy weighing 46 pounds and have been microchipped, am up-to-date on all my shots but not yet neutered. My foster mommy says I am amazing and sweet. I love sniffing stuff and investigating wherever my nose takes me. I also love chewing stuff up but stop when foster mommy tells me to (most of the time at least). I get along great with other dogs and just want to play with them. I haven’t been around any cats, livestock or children. Foster mommy says she believes I will be great with kids, but need to be around dog saavy ones because of my size. I am a very smart boy and foster mommy says food motivated. She has been working with me and I know I have to sit down before she feeds me as well as before I get a treat. She says I have a very gentle mouth when taking treats. I don’t know what that means but I think it’s good thing. I can play well by myself but I like chasing after toys or balls when my foster mommy tosses them for me. I don’t bring them back yet though I could probably be motivated too. I also love going on long walks or hikes. I know my name and will come back, when I feel like it. Foster mommy says she wants me to grow up and continue on the path of being the most amazing boy so I will need to be signed up for basic obedience classes. A note from my foster mommy: Ruger is an awesome boy and loves being close to you and snuggling when he's not playing or invesitigating new smells. He will make an awesome dog.
