Also here are two Great Pyranees in the same rescue!
Ozzie



Ozzie is a young Great Pyrenees whose owner apparently thought allowing him to run free was appropriate. When Ozzie was picked up and taken to the shelter, his owner declined to pick him up, though he did pick up the pregnant female found running loose with him.....charming person, I'm sure. We had him x-rayed as we were concerned about the raised vertebra: we thought this might be a result of malnutrition or an accident. And so it has proven; he was malnourished and had apparently spent a lot of time unable to exercise, as he had no musculature to speak of.

Ozzie is around 16 months old with a coat growing in every which way, extremely underweight and would love to have a family of his own. He does well with other dogs, but would much prefer to cuddle up with a human who will give him all the affection he has lacked in his short life. He is very quick to become protective of what he perceives as his family.


Zane




Zane is a Great Pyrenees/Newfoundland mix, who was dumped in a Las Vegas shelter along with another dog that was also absolutely terrified of everyone and everything and will require some major "affection therapy" to get the two of them back to normal. Zane keeps looking at me as though I've lost my tiny mind when I tell him "Good Boy!" for virtually everything he does right now that does not have him running and hiding. Sure would love to get my hands on the previous owner...grrrrrrrrr.

Zane is just over a year old and will need an owner really devoted to helping him learn to be a dog. He gets on well with other dogs, to the point where he is actually more comfortable having others around, but is absolutely terrified of humans.

He's been here for a couple of months now and has finally voluntarily come to us for attention. He's thoroughly enjoying running around with several of the other dogs and that has given him sufficient confidence to join them in taking breaks from their exercise time to come to us for cuddling and combing. Yeeha! He's such a sweetheart of a boy and it's truly awesome to watch him coming out of that human-moron-induced shell.
