A 10-month-old neutered male Great Pyrenees is in need of a terrific permanent home. In great health, all shots up-to-date. This sweet dog was abandoned in a goat pasture after spending the summer watching over a small herd of goats. Yet loves people as much as he loves animals. Very easy-going with a sweet personality, smart, and will be easily trainable. Wants to work - either taking care of his human family and/or the other animals in his care. Very outgoing. Loves company, be it people or other dogs. Also good with cats! In great health, all shots up-to-date.
