Olaf is a Great Pyrenees who is estimated to be about 3-4 years old. He gets along with everyone - dogs, cats, and kids. Olaf would like slow introductions to men as he finds them a little scary at first but he has no issues coexisting with them.

Olaf kennels perfectly and can be expected to be potty trained in his new home.

This big guy is going to need a special home because he has a neurological disability that has caused severe weakness in his back legs. This doesn't slow him down except when it comes to stairs. Olaf can only handle roughly 7 stairs on his own before he needs assistance. For this reason, Olaf should be adopted by a family with a lesser amount of stairs that Olaf would need to navigate, especially between inside & outside. Rest assured, Olaf can still walk, run and play, he's just a little wobbly while he does it. He also has no issues going to the bathroom by himself.

Olaf is a social dog who would enjoy a home with another dog, especially if that dog doesn't have a dominant personality. He loves playing with his Shepherd mix foster brother.

His new family should also know that Olaf is true to his breed - Great Pyrenees do tend to bark a bit more than other breeds but it is manageable and frankly, we think Olaf's bark is pretty cool - deep & rumbly. This just means Olaf will thrive in a single family home that does not share walls with other families.

Please consider giving Olaf a chance. You won't regret it!
