Ari - New to Rescue - Need Foster

Ari was found neglected in a small pen when a fire crew responded to a call. at the property. One of the fire workers, recognized him as a Great Pyrenees and reached out to us to see if we could take him, as his current owners did not want him. Someone who previously lived with them moved away and left him. He had moldy water, no food, and they had no money to care for him. It was 100 degrees outside, July 3rd, fireworks were imminent. and he had no where to go to get away from the heat or the fireworks. We estimate he is 3-4 years old. Ari is the sweetest boy. He loves human interaction and has done well with walking. He is an opportunist, so secure fencing is a must, and 6' is recommended or he could be placed in a walk only home.. We recommend obedience training for all newly adopted pyrs, to help you create a special bond with you and your new friend, and so you have a well behaved canine. Great Pyrenees are willing to learn, but are not as eager to comply with commands as much as other breeds. They are bred to be independent thinkers. Applicants must be over 25, own their own home and all children in household must be over 6 years old. Your resident pets must be up to date on vaccines, sterilized, you must have a good history of vet care for them for the past two years, and you must have used heartworm preventative year round for your dogs and be able to provide proof of purchase.<br/><br/> Ari will be placed as an inside pet with outside privileges. You MUST have a securely fenced yard accessible from your home. Invisible fencing does not work with this breed and they will take the shock for the freedom. Great Pyrenees are bred to roam and will create their own territory if not secured, which can led to them being lost, hit by vehicles or shot by people who see them as a threat. The breed is not a good off leash dog, and cannot be trusted to not run away. A Great Pyrenees off leash is a " DisAPyr."<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting or fostering, please complete the appropriate application on our website, www.igpr.org under the Adopt tab.<br/><br/>All of our dogs marked as needing foster homes are also available for adoption.
