Beaux - Great Pyrenees Dog for Adoption in West Peoria, Illinois

Big boy Beaux is a 107 lb Great Pyrenees/Lab mix. He is a 2 year old gentle giant that just wants constant attention. He is an owner surrender due to military relocation/deployment and his family wanted to make sure he found a good home and stayed out of a shelter. This guy has been around dogs big and small and can read the vibes. If they want to play, he will play while knowing his size and not being too rough. If they'd rather just exist next to him he's fine with that too. Beaux has been staying with a foster cat that will walk right by him and he just sniffs at him. His previous family did say if a cat runs, he will chase it but just to play so make sure if you have a cat to do a proper introduction (our foster cat is so used to dogs he knows he's the boss). Beaux loves to socialize and will make friends with everyone! He's enjoyed several little league games where children of all ages have played with him. He will jump up to give “hugs” so he does need to learn manners. He walks very well on a leash with little to no tugging once he gets out of the house. He has had zero potty accidents and transitioned to life at his foster home very quickly. Beaux would love a family with children. He sleeps on the floor next to our 8 year old and enjoys the energy and attention kids give him. He enjoys other animals as well but I don't think he'd mind being an only dog, but it would be good for him to socialize with doggie friends or at a dog park. He's a chill guy that will give all the love to a family that has the room for him. Pictures do not fully show his size.

Beaux is neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, and is on flea and heartworm preventions. His adoption fee is $300, please apply at gfrpets.org/apply.
