Finley - Young - Pending Great Pyrenees Monticello, IN

Finley was surrendered to an animal shelter due to his owners divorcing. He has been with other dogs his entire life - he was born in February 2023. He is a very gentle boy, a little timid, but likes human attention. He does great with cats and kids too! He was first afraid to walk on the carpet in his foster home, but now he joins everyone else in the Great Room. He has even learned the joy of being on the couch! We recommend that dogs be placed with resident dogs of the opposite sex, for the best match.

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.


Finley 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."

Finley will come with a neuter agreement requiring he be neutered between the age of 18 - 24 months old. Proof of neuter will be required. $100 of his adoption fee will be returned with proof of neuter.
