Finn - Recovered from surgery and ready for his forever home! Great Pyrenees Indianapolis, IN

Finn was rehomed due to a divorce, however, his new home was unable to keep him contained. He was found on the loose with another dogs, and when the new owners were contacted, they decided to give him up. Finn is not an escape artist, so we believe they had insecure fencing. He does not challenge the fence. On his "big adventure" after he showed up at someone's house, he was limping on a rear leg when he was found. At first it was thought he had been hit by a vehicle, but instead he tore his CCL in his knee. He will be having surgery soon, to repair the tear. He sure would like a nice foster or forever home to recover in after his surgery. He was born in February of 2020. Finn is just the sweetest boy, and has no issues with anyone two or four legged. He is fine with other dogs, cats and kids, and would be a wonderful companion for anyone. He is pretty much a "pyrfect" boy.

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.


Finn 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."

Finn will need a foster home to recover in following his surgery if you can help.
