Peanut - Great Pyrenees and Anatolian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Gallatin, Tennessee

Meet Peanut - of the Peanut, Butter & Jelly Litter!

These three adorable pups are about 12 weeks old and ready to find their families. They were running loose in the country and were difficult to catch. They were all shy and skittish so apparently not had much handling by people. not normal for a young puppy. Peanut was the most nervous and hard to catch, so it took 2 more days to get him to us. Bless the wonderful, dedicated people who worked so hard to help these pups and then get them to a rescue.

We've given P B & J a couple of weeks to decompress, get cleaned up, gain some weight, and learn that people are good. They didn't even seem to know how to play and didn't care much to be outdoors, which is unusual for the breed mix we believe them to be. But really not surprising if they were alone outdoors in all that horrible heat and storms we were having.

These past few days they have turned the corner -- with the introduction of another puppy (Fionna, who we will introduce separately.) Fionna is a happy-go-lucky girl who knows all about how to be a puppy and to have a good time and within a day she was helping these puppies to learn how too. It's been wonderful to watch them blossom.

Because they are a little shy and already pretty big for a puppy, they probably would do best with children over 5. We cannot call them house-trained, but they do use a doggy door regularly so have the concept of pottying outside. They like other dogs and, as puppies, we think they would be fine with cats as well.

Their finders believe from where they were at and what they look like that they are Great Pyrenees mix. As they've grown and changed with us, it looks to us like they may have Anatolian Shepherd in them. We googled Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees puppies and came up with multiple images that look very similar to them. If our breed mix guess is correct, then we would assume they will be large adult dogs maybe 60-80 lbs?
