Meet Max- Puppy -Pyr Mix

Max and his littermates, along with his mother, were surrendered to a rural Indiana shelter when the owner could not find homes for them. The mother is a Great Pyrenees mix, and the father was a Great Pyrenees. We estimate Max was born the first week of July. Max is a big play baby, outgoing and gets along well with all the dogs in his foster home. He is crate trained and housebroken. He likes to snuggle with people and other dogs! Max loves to play fetch, and knows basic commands, enjoys going to dog parks, and for runs. We require obedience training for all newly adopted pyrs less than a year old, to help you create a special bond with you and your new friend, and so you have a well behaved canine. Great Pyrenees and mixes, are willing to learn, but are not as eager to comply with commands as much as other breeds. They are bred to be independent thinkers. Applicants must be over 25, own their own home and all children in household must be over 6 years old. Your resident pets must be up to date on vaccines, sterilized, you must have a good history of vet care for them for the past two years, and you must have used heartworm preventative year round for your dogs and be able to provide proof of purchase for two years too.

Max will be placed as an inside pet with outside privileges. You MUST have a securely fenced yard accessible from your home. Invisible fencing does not work with this breed and they will take the shock for the freedom. Great Pyrenees are bred to roam and will create their own territory if not secured, which can led to them being lost, hit by vehicles or shot by people who see them as a threat. The breed is not a good off leash dog, and cannot be trusted to not run away. A Great Pyrenees off leash is a " DisAPyr."

When adopting a puppy, you must be able to accommodate their potty schedule. A puppy needs to got outside using the correlation of the number of months the pup is old in relation to the number of hours they can be crated. A 3 month old pup needs to go out every 3 hours. If your schedule does not allow you to provide the time for their potty breaks, you need to consider hiring a pet walker until the pup reaches the age where it can be left alone during your work day.

We do not place dogs under age 2 with resident dogs of the same s*x. As Great Pyrenees mature, they can become more dominant with dogs of the same s*x in the household. The resident dog's personality is also taken into consideration too.
Male puppies come with a neuter requirement to be neutered between 18 and 24 months of age., Neutering giant breed dogs too young can lead to osteosarcoma and joint issues for them later in life. By allowing them to benefit from their hormones, we hope to extend the life of the dog as long as possible. Proof of neutering is required, and $100 of the adoption fee will be returned with proof of sterilization.

If you are interested in adopting or fostering, please complete the appropriate application on our website, www.igpr.org under the Adopt tab.

🐾HOWL & SOPHIE CASTLE | Howl: Male, 85.2 lbs, 2Y/2M/2D & Sophie: FEMALE, 70 LBS. 2Y/1M/29D🐾

Hi there! We’re Howl and Sophie Castle, a bonded pair, and we’re on the lookout for our forever home together. We’ve been in foster care, and things are going great! We were separated for six weeks—Sophie was busy raising our 10 puppies, and Howl was recovering from his neuter—but we’re back together now, and we’re ready for our next chapter.

I’m Howl, and I’m a ball of energy, full of love, and always ready for fun. I absolutely love to play, especially if there’s another active dog around to join in! I’m still learning my leash manners (I can get a little excited and pull), but I love my walks and car rides, and I’m making good progress. I’m a bit of a worker too—I love alternating between playtime and guarding the yard. It makes me feel important!

And I’m Sophie—I’m a sweet and wonderful mom! While I was nursing our puppies, I always kept a treat in my mouth. It was adorable, and I’m still just as sweet and loving as ever. Now that the puppies are grown, I’m ready to focus on finding my new family with Howl by my side. I’m gentle and easygoing, and I love being around other dogs.

We haven’t met any cats yet, but we’re both open to learning new things, so if you have them, we’ll do our best to adjust. And Howl has a cute quirk—he’s got freckles on his face, making him extra unique!

We’re looking for a family who can keep up with our energy, appreciates our playful side, and is ready to give us the love we deserve. We’re ready to bring double the fun and love into your life!
