Dewd

Meet Dewd, a majestic and loyal Great Pyrenees from Oklahoma City, OK, whose heart is just as big as his impressive 155-pound frame! With his thick, snow-white coat and gentle yet protective nature, Dewd is the ultimate combination of guardian and snuggle buddy, always ready to shower his favorite people with love.

Dewd thrives on companionship and enjoys being part of the action, whether that means playing an energetic game of fetch or lounging nearby, keeping a watchful eye on his family. He’s well-trained in commands like “sit,” “come,” and “leave it,” making him a great listener—especially when he’s given positive reinforcement and plenty of exercise to keep both his body and mind engaged.

As a natural protector, Dewd can be reactive when unfamiliar people or dogs walk past his fenced yard, barking and jumping to make his presence known. However, once guests step inside the home, he’s far more relaxed and accepting. With patience, training, and a structured environment, Dewd will continue to build confidence and learn how to navigate new encounters calmly. He gets along with some dogs but may need slow introductions to ensure a good match.

Dewd is neutered, house-trained, crate-trained, and up to date on vaccinations. Though his thick coat requires minimal bathing, he’ll need occasional brushing to keep him looking and feeling his best. Most importantly, he needs a home with plenty of space to roam and a family that understands his guardian instincts while also providing him with love, structure, and the opportunity to be his playful, affectionate self.

If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will offer both protection and unwavering loyalty, Dewd might be the perfect match. Could this gentle giant find his next home with you? Reach out today to learn more about him!
