Kettle Great Pyrenees Nashville, TN

Pocket Pyrenees alert!

Kettle may be small for a Pyr, weighing in at 55 lbs, but don’t let her size fool you – she’s got a heart as big as they come! At just 3 years old, this sweet girl has yet to discover the wonders of belly rubs, snuggles, and treat-fetching, but with a little help from a confident canine friend, we know she’ll soon blossom. Kettle would love a furry role model to show her the ropes and teach her the fine art of “being a dog.” (They say it’s quite the skill!)

A fenced yard is a must, as Kettle’s still working up the courage to brave those sneaky “snakes” we humans call leashes. For now, she’s more of a free spirit, enjoying her yard time without any pesky ropes to trip her up.

And can we talk about her adorable “Grinch feet”? Those fuzzy paws are just begging to prance around a cozy home! We’re not quite sure what Kettle thinks of cats yet, but we can certainly check if needed.

If you’re looking for a gentle soul with a lot of love to give, Kettle is ready to find a forever home that will help her come out of her shell.

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 can't 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 dog's 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 didn't 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.
