Nanuk Great Pyrenees Aurora, CO

Say hello to Nanuk, the most adorable 7 month old Great Pyrenees there ever was! He is house trained, knows sit, stay, come, wait, quiet, and lay down, and his foster family is working on teaching him that his crate is his safe place because he currently barks and tries to dig when crated. He also does some puppy jumping when excited, but he's learning all 4 on the floor with positive reinforcement for polite behavior. Nanuk has shown some fearful behavior around kids but the good news is that he is at a great age for continued socialization to help build his confidence. He is good with most other dogs after proper introductions and would really love to have another big friend to run and wrestle with and so he can follow their lead. The ideal home for Nanuk would be with someone who is home most of the time and has the time to help this big boy flourish with continued training and positive exposure. If you have what it takes, don't delay, submit your application today.

BDHP Puppy Policy

All puppies less than 12 months of age are too young to be spayed/neutered so they are adopted out on special puppy spay/neuter agreements with a $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit. Adopting families must agree to get the puppy altered within 2 weeks of 12 months of age (or when their growth plates close) and send proof of S/N to BDHPI accordingly. Adopting families are expected to pay an adoption fee of $550 minimum for purebred puppies AND will have the additional costs listed above, so please keep this in mind.

When adopting a puppy, new families need to be prepared for not only a substantial financial investment, but also a significant time commitment in order to raise your puppy properly. Crate training is a critical part of setting them up for success as well as potty training. You can't leave a puppy in the crate for longer than 4 hours max and they typically have to be let outside every hour when you are home since their bladder is not as big as an adult. You will want to make sure your puppy gets regular exercise and has plenty of mentally stimulating chew toys such as puzzle toys(food cubes, busy buddy toys, kongs, etc). Socialization the first 6 months is critical to their development socially and once they have had all of their shots, you will want to take your new puppy everywhere you can to get them used to meeting lots of new people, different dogs, and visiting places outside of the home. Obedience training is also extremely important (and actually part of our adoption agreement requirements) so that your puppy grows up to be a gentle giant instead of a giant monster!
