Zelda

I arrived at Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue in November 2025 and had been named Zelda prior to arrival. The name fits me to a tee! The name Zelda primarily has two distinct origins and meanings. It is rooted in German as a fierce warrior name, and in Yiddish as a warm term for joy and blessing.<br/><br/>You can ask my friends at AGPR - while I have tons of energy and am ready to take on the world (including the squirrels), I enjoy being loved and bringing smiles to your face. <br/><br/>I love my walks and a big yard to keep under control. I will admit that I get a little bit excited when it is time for a walk, but I do calm down and enjoy stopping to sniff all the smells along the way.<br/><br/>Since I came from a shelter where I arrived as a stray, I'm not sure how old I am. I could be two or three...maybe? I also tested positive for Heartworm BUT I am on the slow kill protocol and there's no indication that it is impacting me. I'm young and full of zest!<br/><br/>Check out my DNA results. I do have some Pyrenees in me but more Anatolian Shepherd and Maremma (both "cousins" of the Great Pyrenees). <br/><br/>I'm sure you know that all Great Pyrenees require a fenced-in yard (at least four foot high). If you have questions about the breed or AGPR's adoption policies and procedures, please go to their website at www.agprescue.org. There's plenty of good information about the breed on their website - Pyrs (and their "cousins") aren't a breed for everyone!
