Meet Higgins — A True Gentle Giant<br/><br/>At just 5 years old and approximately 91 pounds, Higgins is a big, beautiful boy with an even bigger heart. Despite everything he has endured, he remains calm, easygoing, and incredibly gentle. He looks to people for safety, kindness, and love—and he absolutely melts when he receives affection.<br/><br/>Higgins was found wandering the streets and sleeping beneath trailers and cars after being abandoned. He was dangerously thin, covered in scars, and suffering from severe flea dermatitis, hair loss, a skin infection, an ear infection, and injuries around his eyes. Thankfully, after just one week of medication and care, Higgins is already looking so much better!<br/>At 91 pounds, he is still extremely underweight and has plenty of weight to gain, but he is well on his way to becoming the healthy, handsome boy he was always meant to be.<br/><br/>Through it all, Higgins has remained an absolute gentleman.<br/><br/>Higgins gets along wonderfully with everyone and everything he meets. He is friendly, gentle, and easygoing with people and other dogs. He is quiet, settles beautifully. He rarely barks, if at all, and his favorite thing seems to be being gently petted. Baths are not his favorite activity, but with patience, encouragement, and treats, he cooperates.<br/><br/>Higgins is a giant boy who has clearly been let down by people, yet he continues to trust them. He deserves a safe home, compassionate care, and the chance to experience the love and comfort he should have had all along.<br/>This sweet giant is ready to find a loving home where he can continue gaining weight, receiving plenty of affection, and learning what it means to be truly safe. In return, Higgins promises to be a loyal, loving companion and the gentlest presence you could ever hope to have by your side.<br/><br/>Higgins is ready for the next chapter of his life!

Texas Great Pyrenees Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Thanks for considering rescue with TGPR! We’ll start by contacting your vet to confirm that all current pets (yes, even cats!) are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and on heartworm prevention. Next, we’ll reach out to your three personal references to get to know you better and help identify great matches for your lifestyle. If you rent, please let your landlord know we’ll be calling to confirm large dogs are allowed. Then we’ll schedule a home visit, a friendly in-person chat to see your setup and share Pyr tips! Once approved, you’ll be able to connect with fosters to find your perfect match. Approvals are good for a year! And remember: TGPR commits to our dogs for life. If anything ever changes and you can’t keep your Pyr, we’ll always take them back. Let us know if you have any questions. We’re excited to help you find your floof!
