Great Pyrenees 8 week old puppy

WHAT A WEEK AT WORK!!!! First we got a 9 week old Maltese x Poodle cross that someone paid $1,000 for, found out it had treatable intestinal parasites, and surrendered the puppy to us. Not 15 minutes after I found that one a home today, I get a call that a friend of a client has an 8 week old, male pure bred Great Pyrenees puppy that needs to be placed today. Guess the teenaged son came home with it Tuesday and the Mom said "NO" . Soooo..... here are some pictures. Any takers (and before you even say it, HE IS NOT STAYING AT OUR HOUSE even though Gracie already thinks he is her new baby and Abraham, Webbie, and Goolosh are thrilled to have a new play toy)??? I have given him his physical (perfect health), dewormed him, and given his first distemper combo vaccine. PLEASE HELP!!!! THANK YOU!!!

Alisa, Kristy said if I can get him to MI I can have him! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE find a way to get him to me! I missed out on the Bernese last week and I was pretty bummed. I love the big furry ones (as noted by our Newman). She said we can foster him to start and there is a chance he can stay forever if I behave . He is soo cute. What a pretty furball.

Jason,

I know for a fact that a few folks are going to be at The Rock Classic that are from MI .... I have one other family that I promised could look at him, but..... if they didn't work out..... maybe we could get the UAD family involved and have a puppy convoy??? :heart:

OMG... he is ADORABLE. My first dog was a Pyr. If we didn't already have six... and if my family and husband wouldn't kill me for it... I'd take him in a heartbeat.

I hope he makes it to MI and Jason... he'd have a good home there... plus I could play with him at events. Here's to hoping!

Well, I only have one other family that talked to me earlier, and I kinda think it might be a no-go (only because they are getting a new kitten and it might be too much all at once with the older cats and dog in the house). He is really a nice dog. :heart: He was great with my cats and Team Blabador (even the cheerleaders ). He clearly knows doggie body language as he submits to the dominant ones. He seems middle of the road as far as assertiveness. I like that in a dog!

Ooooohhhhhh...... Jaaaasooooonnnn......

If the other family can't/doesn't take him. We could be 'persuaded' to let that cute guy crash here. Of course, we would need the UAD family to help get him to us. We aren't going to the Rock Classic, but I bet we could find someone . . . he could hitch a ride back with (anyone?)

Keep us posted!

Will do. I really think this other family is not going to take him, but I should know in the next few days. I will absolutely keep you posted. He is a nice, nice puppy.

And feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions, etc.

What an absolutely adorable face!!! And those feet - he's definately going to leave some BIGGGG paw prints!

I am not looking again when you post about a rescue.. That face could melt any heart. Sounds like he is going to find a great home.

UPDATE:

So we have taken to calling him "Foster" ("puppy monster" wasn't working so well )... it just seemed appropriate. He is great with kitties, people and dogs of all sizes. He is somewhat of a lazy puppy in that we go outside for a potty break, and he plops down in the grass for a short snooze. He has mastered the stairs (up & down) and is learning about crate training. He got his first bath (by the way, he is NOT AT ALL AFRAID OF THE WATER - we were cleaning his crate from an accident, and he walked right in the line of fire of the hose and it knocked him over. He stood up, wagged his tail, and came right back for more ). He sleeps through the night and is also learning about doing his potties OUTSIDE!

All is all, he is a pretty easy puppy (especially for being so young). We took some more pictures of him, but I need to download them of the camera. He is going to be a hard one to give up because he is such a sweet natured little fella.

Here are the pictures:

Webster & Foster playing. I had no idea these two would be such pals:



A snooze after some play time:



Parker being so patient with the little puppy monster:



I kinda like this ball!



Time for another nap...

I love the last picture - belly up. He is too cute!

Poor Parker!

He looks like he's just pleading for you to help him out Alisa!!!

I did help poor Pooh. Thankfully Foster is not real persistent, so I didn't have to save Parker again!
