Max in MD - Soaks Up All the Attention He Can Get! Great Pyrenees Silver Spring, MD

Max is a gentle boy who loves giving and getting affection from his humans. He has the classic Pyr look, white with some faint badger markings. His favorite thing is collecting pets from people. And when he wants some extra love, he brings out the “Pyr paw.” Max is leash-trained and crate-trained. He is friendly with people. He started as an outside dog, and still enjoys being outside most of all, but he’s learning to love the pleasures of inside life. He is okay with other dogs, after an initial bit of excitement on meeting, and is indifferent to cats and chickens. He is looking for an active family, possibly including children, who will make him a part of their world and be patient as he learns about new situations.

Due to the high level of interest we can't respond to emails unless an application has been submitted.

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature (www.nationalpyr.org/know-the-breed) and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
