My GrPyr and Chessie mix was a rescue after 2 failed adoption attempts when she was 8 1/2 mos old from the Humane Society. She's about to be 3 years old and every single "OMG!" is proving worth it. She's fabulous. She's Maggie the Great.
She has her own (MilkBone toy) bunny, I'll have my bunnies, and she'll choose to be nice to them for me. She is never going to have pups, per H'Society rules, but she's as compassionate and cunning as they come. I'm confident that the behaviors she'll need will come easily to her.
She's just about old enough to give a training program for Rescue Services, Companion Services, whatever. I wouldn't have thought that a female GrPyr would be so sweet and warm, but she is. She greets everyone from everywhere (we live in a recreation area) and only behaves poorly for folks who would best be somewhere else. I see that she has corrected her early misunderstandings, for the most part, and really enjoys being enjoyed. She's my partner! The retriever is there, but it's the Great Pyrenees that gives her the great mind and ability to stop and make choices. I really am impressed with her.
Get a girl!
