Sage

This video attests to how some animals come into our lives in the most unexpected ways, and how they can unexpectedly leave us. Sage's story is about a dog's will to survive, and in the process, finds compassion and love. Sage is a reminder that if we open our hearts, we will be forever changed.
This video is in gratitude to all rescues that provide animals a second chance at life. Special thanks to the Great Pyrenees Rescue Society (GPRS) and the National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR) for supporting Sage, and Terry McCabe for giving Sage a beautiful year of life.

I have rescued 5 pyrs. They are amazing "fur-persons", gentle, affectionate. All they want is your love and companionship.

I love the Pyr's. I have one and think they are an awesome dog. God bless you for taking him in.

Made me cry. My Great Pyrenees Harley was such a cool dog and a bit of a goofball (like me). I still miss him!

❤ You're an angel. We have a Pyrenees and we love her so much that we are getting another one tomorrow. Best, sweetest, gentle and loving dogs.

How wonderful you are and Sage is as well. I had to go through the same with my wonderful Golden Canyon.....who passed a month before Sage. I have his ashes waiting to be spread at a very special place where my husband is and someday I will be there too. It's a National cemetery so I won't tell you where I live, but Bailey my husbands companion is there and his sweet cat Fluffy. All orange pets!!!! I miss my Canyon so much.....I'm starting to look for more senior goldens, but I've always loved the Great P's. Such wonderful animals, all. Your story is truly beautiful and so close to what Canyon and I went through. Thank you.

How do you know he was abandoned? He could have run off. LGDs are known for that.

Do you have time to answer some questions? I'm interested in adopting a PPyrenees from the rescue I work at & this would be my first one. I'm in love with this beautiful pup named Alaska & I just have some general questions about the breed & how well they would do in my house. Thank you.

Hi, and certainly I can help with questions. Great Pyrs are amazing dogs. I currently have four Pyrs, three are from The Great Pyrenees Rescue Society, and one an owner surrender from our local shelter. There is a lot of info available online via rescues throughout the U.S. Pyrs are not for everyone and they shed A LOT. I appreciate your reaching out to see if a Great Pyrenees is the right breed for you. Another video I made for more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZLSpaynZsyErZY (Great Pyrenees - A Story of Compassion, Courage and Hope). There are also references provided in the video. Thanks for inquiring!

I have watched all your videos, thanks. I wanted to ask you if a Pyreneese would do alright in my house which is a duplex. I share a wall with my neighbor. I've read that they tend to bark at night or while their human is away. I own the property so I'm not worried about a landlord bit I'm worried about neighbors possibly calling law enforcement if my pup gets too loud. I plan on training & doing everything I can to maybe calm down the barking but I know I can't eliminate it. What do you think?

[@wysasi]

@@jordanenzie7314 I appreciate your researching in advance to committing to an adoption. Barking is definitely a characteristic of a GP. It s just a fact, given their ancestral and for some... current purpose (guarding sheep). (I do not believe in bark collars to control a natural characteristic). My dogs can have an outburst of barking during the night (they stay indoors at night) and they also bark during the day. I can deal with it as I am home during the day, and have a large fenced yard. Perhaps you could utilize a dog walker or doggy daycare/camp when you are at work. I have had to work with all situations, including unhappy neighbors. It can be challenging and a commitment to getting the dog exercised a LOT to keep the peace. In fact, my most recent adoption was a Pyr surrendered to the shelter for barking, and being destructive during the day, while the owners were away at work. I'm certain you would be a terrific Pyr owner, based on your concerns. Perhaps you could adopt on a trial basis and talk to your neighbors about giving it a try. Pyrs cannot be trained to not bark. It's their job.

I got my Pyr & I've had him for a month now. His name is Sonny; he is just great. 13 months old, great boy im so happy. Thanks for your feedback!
