Meet gorgeous Piper - a total mountain girl!
Piper is an 18-month-old Great Pyrenees beauty weighing around 82 lbs. She's spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her doggie shots.
Piper came to SDR because her people could no longer care for her when they moved. She is a big girl and loves to go for walks and hang outside on her property. She is great with cats, loves people and is playful and friendly with nice dogs. Piper does have a hankering for rabbits and she will absolutely need a large fenced area in her forever home.
We are looking for a specific home for Piper - ideally someone with Livestock Guardian breed experience.
***Piper must have a lot of space (at least an acre or be next to a national forest or open space) to buffer her barking (neighbors don't love barking) and she must have a large fenced area to hang out and romp in.
****For this reason, we are saying No Urban or Suburban applications for this space-loving girl, please and thanks.
*** No out of state homes for Piper.
*** No young kids in the home, even though she loves kids. She needs to be the focus, and kids leave doors open often and Piper can be free roaming outside.
Piper is housetrained, rides well in the car and is a fabulous dog for someone who understands LGDs. Major preference will be given to applicants who can give Piper a home with a friendly resident dog (ideally male as LGD's often don't do well living with a same sex friend, especially once they reach social maturity at 2-3 years of age).
Livestock guardian dogs are often a poor fit for most pet homes... they have been bred for thousands of years to be independent thinkers who bark a lot to protect their territory, they tend to have noise sensitivities due to their genetics and they are roamers if allowed to roam without a leash or a fence. Please do your research before adopting a Pyrenees or any livestock guardian breed.
For more info and/or to apply to adopt her (with the reminder that we will only accept rural or mountain applications), go to the top toolbar, click Adopt, click Dog Application; then fill it out and send it in. A volunteer from Summit Dog Rescue will get back to you as soon as they can.
