Fabio Great Pyrenees Mix Ashland, VA

Meet Fabio (and tell me you don’t want to give all of that floof the biggest hug!)

Fabio is a 5 year old, 100lb Great Pyrenees who is a true hunk of burning love. He came to rescue alongside a female Pyr we dubbed his “sister” from a rural shelter. She has found her forever and now it’s his turn!

He is a lower energy couch enthusiast who is sweet to people, WILL occupy space on the tile/air vent/pillow depending on his mood and temp, is good on the leash and seemingly housebroken.

Fabio doesn’t mind other dogs who just want to chill and hang out. He’s also the same with sacks-of-meow! If you have a chill house full of streaming your favorite shows, squirrel patrolling in your fenced back yard and a laid back lifestyle.. Fabio is for you. He likely wouldn’t adore screaming toddlers, but older and respectful kids would be just fine.

THIS IS… a Great Pyrenees. HE WILL… bark, shed, and have selective hearing. However, he will also love you fiercely and bond with you through shared adoration for cheese.

Currently in Nashville, TN and can travel wherever we go !

All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
