Mr. Baggins Great Pyrenees Nashville, TN

Meet Mr. Baggins -- a Pyr who is all about the people!

Mr. Baggins was surrendered to us when his owner could no longer care for him. His background story is a bit sad, but we can save that for another day! For now, we're focusing on a bright future for this beautiful boy!

Mr. Baggins is a big guy looking for a breed experienced home. He weighs about 100 pounds, so homes with sturdy kids are preferred. He is 2 years old, so he still has some puppyish mannerisms to grow out of, but he is a loveable guy. He would prefer to be your one and only, as he loves his people and doesn't really want to share. While he's fine taking an evening stroll with a furry friend, he'd prefer not to share a roof. He seems to be unbothered by feline friends.

Mr. Baggins is great in the car. Loves to be brushed. He is a goofball. He enjoys playing in water, so he'd appreciate a kiddie pool to splash in. He knows the command "sit" which is a pretty big feat if you're familiar with Pyrs. He even knows how to play fetch -- kind of.

If you can open your home to this guy, don't hesitate to apply! He is currently in VA but can travel.

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.
