Wally

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi there – I’m Wally, a striking Great Pyrenees mix with a soft, fluffy coat and soulful eyes. I’m looking for a special home where I can truly shine. I didn’t come to FOHA with a lot of background info, and it seems I may not have spent much time in a traditional home environment. That means things like TVs or loud noises can be a little overwhelming for me at first. I’m part of FOHA’s Diamond Dog program, which means I come with extra support to help my adopter set me up for success!

I’d thrive with an experienced owner who understands the independent and protective nature of my breed and is committed to continuing my training and building trust over time. I need a single-dog home in a quiet, adult-only setting—preferably one with a fenced yard and no shared walls (so no apartments or condos, please). My ideal home will be patient, loving, and respectful of my space.

HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
I need to be the only dog in the home. I’ve shown some reactivity toward certain dogs and do best without canine roommates.

HOW AM I WITH CATS:
No cats for me, please.

HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
I need a home without children. Sudden movements and high activity levels can be stressful for me.

I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS:
I’m still learning! I may not know many formal commands yet, but I’m eager to bond with my people and would benefit from positive reinforcement training.

MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:
I am doing well with housebreaking, and I’m working on being comfortable in a crate. Like many dogs from less traditional backgrounds, structure and routine help me thrive.

THINGS I LIKE:

• Butt scratches (I absolutely love them!)

• Spending time with my favorite people – especially my FOHA girlfriends and my “mom” Paula

• Exploring the outdoors – I love to roam and carry my food bowl around the yard

• Calm, predictable routines

THINGS I DISLIKE:

• Loud noises and fast activity inside the home (like TVs or kids playing)

• Livestock – I have a strong prey drive and am not safe around farm animals

• Being crowded by other dogs – I prefer my space

• Living in busy environments like condos or apartments
