My Story
Hi, I’m Frehley! 🐾
I’m a sweet, sensitive Pyr who is settling into my foster home and showing everyone more of my personality as I learn that I’m safe and loved.
Once I know and trust you, you’ll get to see a pretty adorable side of me. I’ll greet you with a smile that shows off my “teethies,” along with the cutest little piggie grunts. I’m also a big fan of belly rubs—and don’t worry, I’ll let you know when I’m ready for one! ❤️
I’m potty trained, leash trained, and I enjoy playing with a ball and relaxing with my favorite bone. I’ve even been groomed and did a great job!
I’m still learning to be brave in a world that can sometimes feel a little overwhelming. Loud cars, sudden noises, unfamiliar people, and loud or high-pitched voices can make me nervous. Want to know the way to my heart? Speak softly. I respond especially well to gentle voices and even whispers.
I have some opinions about flooring, too. Hardwood? No, thank you! Tile makes me a little unsure, but carpet is definitely my happy place.
As I build trust, I’m comfortable with my people touching my head, ears, chin, chest, and belly. I’m more worried about anyone getting near my back end or hind legs, so I need someone who will respect my boundaries and give me the time I need to feel secure.
My foster family is helping me work through my fears, including improving my leash skills when something scares me. With patience and reassurance, I’m learning how to settle again after those scary moments.
My ideal person will understand Great Pyrenees and, even better, have experience with fearful or sensitive dogs. I don’t need someone to rush me. I need someone who will listen to what I’m telling them, celebrate my progress, and help me continue building confidence at my own pace.
There’s a happy, affectionate, belly-rub-loving boy underneath those worries, and my foster family is already getting to see him. With the right person by my side, I think I’m going to keep getting braver and braver.
Could you be the patient, loving person I’ve been waiting for? ❤️🐾
