Lionel

Meet Lionel

Hello my name is: Lionel

My nickname is: Lionel Messy

My breed is: Great Pyrenees

My favorite thing to eat is: food, lots of it! I'm a good eater.

My favorite thing to play with is: I like all toys but especially soft squeaky plush toys.

My funniest quirk is: I love being silly and getting excited. I am curious to meet all creatures human and animal and sometimes on a walk I will sit down if I'm not allowed to meet a new dog or person.

What do I get in trouble for: I sometimes want to wrestle with my foster siblings on walks. I know we are too big for that and they don't want to play, but sometimes I can't help myself.

What I dislike the most: being cutoff from drinking water in the evening. I will search out and find it!

What makes me unique: I am silly and sweet.

Where do I sleep: in my crate. I like my crate but sometimes I don't want to go to bed.

Do I love car rides: I am not too excited about getting in to the crate in the back of the SUV for a ride. Even if it's to go somewhere fun.

Where's my favorite place to go: outside. I love to lie in the grass whether it's it the backyard, the front yard or someone else's front yard.

Do I like cats: I don't have too much experience with cats I am interested in cats but I don't show hunting instinct around animals I've seen on walks.

How I feel about my crate: I like my crate and will voluntarily sleep in my crate but sometimes I don't want to go to bed at night if something's gotten me excited.

My perfect home would be: A nice yard, loving family and some active dog siblings.

PUPPIES ARE ONLY PLACED IN HOMES WITH YOUTHFUL, PLAYFUL RESIDENT DOGS WHO ARE AT LEAST 50 POUNDS.

Our requirements for puppy adoptions are simple and necessary.

Our puppies are not livestock guardians, they are family pets that live inside of the family home.

Puppies must be placed in homes with a youthful, adult resident dog of similar size. This gives the puppy a mentor and a solid foundation for becoming part of the family.

Puppies are only adopted to homes with someone at home at least part of the day. If no one is home for 6-8 hours at a time, please do not apply.

Preference is always given to those with Great Pyrenees experience.

Applicants must have secure, visible fencing and a socialization plan in place.

The fastest way to be considered for a puppy is to fill out an application. Adoption is not first come, first served. GPRS and its fosters work diligently to find the right fit for each and every unique dog and puppy.
Applicant's personal pets must be current on vaccines & heartworm/flea prevention and be altered.

Adoption fee: $450 (Adoption fee includes spay or neuter, distemper/parvo vaccines, flea preventative, deworming, and health certificate for travel). Adopters located outside of Texas pay the cost of transport to an independent transport service ($250).

GPRS has proudly placed thousands of Great Pyrenees and GP mixes in the PNW for over a decade. Our volunteers have over 100 years combined experience fostering, screening, and placing this majestic breed into loving, forever homes. When adopting from us, you can rest assured that we provide life-long support and advice when it comes to your new family member. As always, our purpose is to find the best match for every unique dog that comes through our doors. Taking the time to find the right fit comes first and foremost at the Great Pyrenees Rescue Society. If you are interested in adopting, please take the time, and apply. You will see firsthand how much care, attention and love goes into the process, when you are guided a personal screener. This is why we have people come back again and again for their next family member! See all our dogs, fill out an application and discover why we are the BEST at placing the right dog in the right home!

ADOPTION, FOSTERING, AND DONATIONS are just some of the ways you can help a rescued dog. We have worked hard to cultivate a large network of volunteers to save this majestic breed. While monetary donations are always much appreciated, you can also help by donating your time as a GPRS foster or volunteer.
