Meet Tucker Von Bear!  (Please use his full name when sending communication about him as we also have a Tucker!)  Tucker Von Bear, the 18-month-old Great Pyrenees mix has already been through quite the journey in his young life.  This 140 lb. big boy started out life in a home but sadly, his owner had to surrender him to a shelter because they could no longer care for him.  Tucker Von Bear was slated to be euthanized but a rescue pulled him from the shelter and worked with him for over a month before they asked us to take him in due to our breed experience. 

Tucker Von Bear has had little socialization, so he is still working through some fear issues when his environment changes.   This will not be your usual social butterfly.  He must be the only pet in the home.  He loves to play and he loves to love on his humans once he gets to know you.  Teenagers and up only and he requires a fenced yard and a quiet household with few to no stairs. Tucker von Bear will need someone with Great Pyrenees experience and the ability to keep him separated from other pets in the home while he’s eating.

All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you cant supervise. 3.) Socialization.  The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dogs behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come.  Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didnt realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.  Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
